Looks like the worst way to fix it, even if this is a high school welding class. While the heating/bending may be good experience for the students, teaching them this Mickey Mouse way to repair something isn't. It was obviously built too weak to start with, so instead of fixing that issue by replacing the thin, weak angle with something thicker and stronger, you repaired it and left it even weaker than it was when it started? That doesn't seem to be good for either the students or the owner of the trailer. Doing it right by cutting out and replacing the bent angle would have been faster and better for all concerned. The students learn the right way to fix it, and the owner of the trailer gets it back in better, not worse, condition than it was before it got bent..
Good job
Dude, that sawsall is painful to watch!
HEY! YOU POINTING AT ME?!
