Because I know the whole committee (and all of DMS for that matter!) will be sweating it, I have to sit this out, even though I would love to be there and help.
My needs and wants are simple:
I NEED it all,
I WANT more.
I trust you uns to make good choices.
I’ll have the full minutes up later tonight, but meeting update off the top of my head:
We voted to
purchase another Milwaukee grinder (with the intake filter), some batteries, and a multi-charger station. This was completed today.
replace at least one of the 208 sockets with the 480 transformer we already have. We cannot run the transformer at capacity, but we can at least get the Big TIG in a more usable state than it is currently
procure a 1-3/4" bending die. Order has not been placed yet but they tend to have a 2-3 week lead time.
stuff built / fixed:
bumper and pump box walls welded onto the Water Buffalo (done as part of an impromptu welding class)
Shelf welded for the locked cabinet at the front of the room (by one of the first time welders)
I plasma cut then bent a grinder rack on the brake; we now have a wall mounted grinder home for the smaller grinders
we re-wired the kiosk area per an FM request
we installed one of the andon lights on the Grinder pedestal so now the Red light comes on when the system is energized (harder for users to forget they left it running)
redid the plumbing on the water buffalo (better valve and brass fittings; tight space and higher flow rate)
plasma cut and bent on brake some sheet metal to make a flat tray that rests secure on the oven shelves, so you can use the minimal contact shelf or the tray depending on what you are doing,
cleaned equipment
chopped up the old oven table (didn’t hold together well, and we recycled most of the material into other projects we welded today. The rest of it is either in the scrap bin or for later committee use)
