Head Notes

Visited my machinist yesterday and delivered the last few pieces of meat for the tube bender, which is taking shape real nicely. Now that I can see it mocked up I could not believe how big and heavy the sucker is. All that remains is to stick the 18-ton hydraulic in there and boom, I'm bending metal at will.

Currently in the works is the notcher. This one I'm doing in-house. The original idea I had was to build the tools from scratch, instead of buying them. I saved much too much as opposed to buying 'em commercially. It also reinforces WSC as a bare-bones, pure-grit custom lab for everything sicko. Any one can buy, not everyone can build.

Altering something is not the same as building it from scratch.

Later.
