Ironworker -- Sheared 1x8 yesterday; captured documentation of the process -- shear documentation & useage; will be used as part of our workshop infrastructure; need to finish the table, level the table, complete the guide/backstop, and install feet--Dozuki guides will need more work as well; need to capture what was built in Sketchup
MH -- need to complete documentation and upload to Dozuki, but this is a lower priority than the Shuttleworth documentation deliverables for the Ironworker and the Backhoe; Mark needs more wood to finish the framing; still has two more days of "finishing" work
Infrastructure -- Stove:Sweiger is making the doors, Marcin wants to deliver the entire structure (frame, etc) so they can finish everything--then we will simply need to install it --- Marcin would like to build a second stove for the workshop for this winter; Marcin will call Sweiger so he can explain what work needs to happen with the frame and how to attach the doors; Marcin wants Mark to install the stove once its done; Marcin wants the bricks removed around the stove; Bush hog: Need to contact Gary to get status when he can come out (Katie)
Documentation -- MH: He is uploading to Trovebox, reloading them to 900x600 resolution; Marcin would like for the MH to be divided into sub-folders (i.e. foundation, etc--use what is in Dozuki); Marcin wants to meet with Chris & Rob to work sort documentation (meet today at 1pm CDT); Backhoe:We are missing step instructions, etc for what Cory & Leandra did this summer during 6 in 60; need to ID what documentation is outstanding by each module; Marcin would like to focus Wed/Thurs focusing on documentation -- photos, work instructions, & utilize 3D graphics if we don't have photos for instructions
Other: Dan is leaving tomorrow @3:35pm, needs a ride
