Good Morning
It’s 38° under a brilliant, cloudless sky. Supposed to make it to 50 with moderate winds. Perfect weather for drying things out.
Yesterday I was productive in the cleanup department, I gave the trusty Bridgeport a good cleaning and lubrication. It does have a single point lube pump, but that doesn’t do the quill or gearbox.
Continued on to some horizontal surfaces, then went over to friend’s house to reinstall the carb that I removed and cleaned from his pressure washer. After I got home grandson came up and removed all the driveway markers and put them away.
Then I spent some time with autodesk fusion 360, as I’m pretty sure that I will use it to create the g code to operate the plasma cutter that I ordered. I will likely end up using it to create the drawings as well, but for now I can import the dxf files that I have already created.
Today I’m going to hitch the dump trailer to the tractor and pick up 8 yards of mulch to tidy up all the beds around the house. The wife says I’ve got to accomplish this before I leave for training next week. Should be no problem as long as it stays dry.
I’d like to spend some more time getting comfortable with Fusion, the CNC table will likely arrive while I’m in Kansas, and I’d like to be ready to go when it gets here.
And there is plenty to do to make room for it in the shop. We are taking the family out to dinner for DIL’s birthday this evening, the band will be waiting for me when I get back. It will be an early dinner, can’t miss the grandson’s bedtime, which will work out well for playing music afterwards.
