Weekend Progress
Manufacturing:
Tonight we completed the four piston bearing blocks (1010073) for the kicker winch. These took much longer than anticipated using manual machines. Below is a picture of the completed parts:
For the small piston bearing blocks (1010019) we hope to have a CNC lathe available tomorrow evening. Tomorrow we hope to cut out the control boards as well, on a CNC router.
The 1 x 2 x.125 box tube parts for the arm structure have been cut, and are currently undergoing milling and drilling operations, and preparation for welding this week.
