Day 13
Today I worked in the metal shop cutting and prepping things to weld. This was most of my morning /
afternoon, all the pieces I need are cut, and I am starting to machine their faces to prep for welding.
This is being done on both a horizontal and vertical mill. The goal of this is to get really flat and square
parts before welding so that the frame stays square. In the evening I spent more time in cad designing
mounts for the electronics on the frame, as well as my spindle mount.

Day 14
Today I spent the morning doing the first power ups of my case. I had just finished my last AC cable
that I needed, and then I Got everything hooked up and turned on, although the first time I went to test,
the circuit shorted and the power strip turned off. I just had a small short that was caused by a piece
of over stripped wire, after I fixed that I turned it on, and got all green lights. We have power, and now
all I have to work on is the computer side of the system. In the afternoon I went back to the machine
shop to continue to machine parts for welding. I have also called the surface plate company, as it
turns out they simply did not ship my order. They say it will be here Friday.
