The last couple of weeks have been crazy but this weekend I may get somewhat back to 'normal'. Working on Big John today and the CNC tomorrow. Sunday it is back to the day job.
Big John's new engine is almost completely hooked up. Hope to get it fired up in a couple of weeks, given the time I have to work on it. Starting the iron work for the front-end loader (cutting parts) today while I wait on some other engine parts to arrive.
Working on the vertical vacuum table on the front of the CNC cabinet tomorrow. Hope those parts are in. Amazon is not even shipping for a week or more after the order unless you have Prime. I think Prime is blackmail for reasonable customer service and won't go there. So I am doing more direct ordering and getting better service but sometimes I can't avoid Amazon.
Once that surface is hooked up I can get the cabinet finally assembled and off the sawhorses. Then the CNC itself will be installed on top of it and I will have to build another vacuum table for the surface under the gantry.
Spent time back in the wound care clinic yesterday. Got a callous on a toe that had to be removed (the callous, not the toe!) and that site is now considered a wound because there was a blister under it. Couple weeks for healing and more experiments with suitable footwear. Need to have a special insert for my left foot to keep the fourth toe from rubbing. Boy, do I hate being impaired!
