Day 4: Ninja Stars and More Plasma Cutting
Thank God It's Friday! Today was very much like yesterday, didn't do too many interesting things except continue on cutting 1/4 " inch steel circular lids for the copper wire drums. We finally finished cutting the twelve lids and in the process I was able to salvage some ninja stars from the left over scrap metal. I will have pictures up as soon as I find an adapter to upload them. In between finishing cutting the lids, I helped assemble one of the smaller boom manipulators. It was quite interesting to see how a twenty foot machine was assembled and put together. So far I am estimating that it will take about at least a week to finish the assembly process due to numerous complicated chain and motor systems. The vertical beam that holds up the manipulator is close to 1000 pounds, making it very tricky to erect, however with the help of a fork-lift and some thick rope we were able to lift it up. Who would of knew forklifts can lift pretty high.
