Lex_Berezhny:
 * worked on framework, will do more of that tonight

Brianna_Kufa:

Yesterday: Today: Blockers:
 * Continued fabrication
 * Continue fabrication
 * Gotta get the mill and boring machine set up to make me some big holes... could take a while.

Jamie_Clarke

Yesterday: Today: Blockers
 * contacted my friend who is a mechanical engineer. He agreed to help with the iron worker calculations.
 * going to spend the weekend with MechEng. Will get his contact information and discuss parameters.
 * Need as many specs about the machine as possible. Is it 45 imperial tonnes?

Brianna_Kufa: Today: Blockers:
 * Got permission to use whatever steel we have on hand at the shop. This means no delay because of lack of $$.
 * Started fabrication of 2" pins, by doing the lathing on them.
 * Emailed a few folks about the DVD
 * Finish Fab of 2" pins and do 2.5" pins.
 * chop up some more steel and make more parts
 * Smooth sailing... Getting all machines and tooling together does take a while, but I have so many materials, I can work on something else if I get stuck cause of a machine.

Mike_Apostol:

Not on my end. Assume I have no updates for a while unless I respond differently haha...all my time is on my new job right now :P

Mark_Norton:

No progress since yesterday. Waiting on Marcin.

Jamie_Clarke:

General: Two major limitations are time delays with bottlenecks from Marcin and funding bottlenecks.

GROUP BLOCKERS: Iron worker; If anyone can get the software to analyse the iron worker punch I will ask my friend who is a mechanical engineer if he can compute the forces.

Lifetrac; Find the software and I will ask friends or calculate the loads myself. I found documentation on skid loader deaths and hazards, roll over protection and falling object protection need to be introduced into the CAD. Its Just a simple cage

My current goals; Develop aquaponics and geodesic dome greenhouses or shelter. Educate myself to participate in all aspects of OSE.

Yesterday: -Studied JavaScript in code academy. -Applied for mechanical engineering apprenticeship. -Made YouTube video showing dome survives snow.

Today; -Check dome to see if solar panels and pump have enough energy. -continue on code academy. -research simulation tools for iron worker and. -research safety regulations for

My Blockers; -Money for extra solar panel or battery. -Lack of time. -using the different software to Brianna or Mike

Brianna_Kufa:

Waiting to hear back from metal suppliers for my quotes. In the meantime, I need to redo my design to fit the slightly larger angle blades. Also, I am going to the shop to see what steel stock we have that I can use, and look for our surface grinder.

The one blocker now is money. Marcin mailed me a check for the materials this morning, and I need that to buy stuff. I bought the blades yesterday for 1300$ish, with my own money, so I really can't afford to buy more materials out of pocket. I might be able to have my grandad buy the steel and pay him back, but this gets messy...

more...

Mike_Apostol:

LifeTrac IV: James Slade should be getting a LifeTrac to retrofit to angled loader arms and trying out new seat positioning

LifeCat: Stalled after initial research as I just got a new job that is taking up all my time. I will try to get back to it when things slow down a bit. Initial space claim and rough specifications are designed however and I have an idea for the base frame, just a matter of putting the time into CAD to develop it.

Brianna_Kufa:

I'm ordering all parts for the Ironworker, and will begin building as soon as possible, probably tomorrow or the next day.

I can continue on ironworker for quite some time, but future blockers would be punch/ stripper analysis mentioned in the blog. There's not any other potential blockers that anyone remote could help me with.

Mark_Norton:

I should point out that progress on the Steam Engine is waiting on word from Marcin.
