Hot Times at the Barn
...which is why Bob and Grant stayed inside the barn. As usual, the extreme Hammond weather had an effect on what we do. Bob played with his Cab 11 (ish - he can explain) sheet metal trying to determine the assembly sequence. This is not as easy as one would think as some plates need to be loosely fitted in a given (but unknown to us) order. The Cab 11 has a myriad of bolts and plates that seem to have an effect on each of their neighbouring plates. Bob spent most of his day playing CMP roulette, but took some time to install his freshly made battery box, a hold down and cover.
Grant was working on a stand for his bead roller. He ordered some 1/2 inch plate cut at a local welding shop, but wasn't pleased with the look of the cuts. He spent most of the morning perfecting the components for his stand before welding them up in the afternoon.
