: Hi Michael,
: Thanks for the update, looking forward to more of them. Just being a "sticky beak" her. Did you send out your design for critique as previously discussed & what has been the reaction or feed back so far ?
Um...not sure what you mean. I never said I was sending my design out for critique. No nothing has changed in the design or the building. I ran in two one or two accuracy problems, and had to rebuild a couple of parts, but that's about it. The weights took a lot longer than I thought, seems like most things do. Thing about fabrication is, once done, to make copies can go very fast, but the first initial one takes "forever"
Had problems with the molds I was pouring the lead into, not holding up their end. Don't really like the final machining of the lead either-too many toxic hazards but, at least I'm done that. Now for a thorough cleanup, then finishing the machine. I'll see how far I get over the weekend- but it's going to take a lot longer.
Best regards,
Michael
From that, have you had to change anything in either the design or the building ? Best of luck with the construction !
