I live in Baltimore, Maryland. I&#039;m keeping a blog of my work at [http://aispina.blogspot.com Machining My Independance]. See my BOM, Parts list, and Timecard on my [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Akre6PDjx-eFdHZiMkRXeEl4ZjR1LW1EelQ4TnhFX2c Google Doc].<br /> <br /> ==December 1==<br /> * Cleaned inside of tank, and covered it with WD-40.<br /> * TIG welded large flange to standoff tube and tube to hydraulic reservoir.<br /> <br /> ==November 28==<br /> * Machined the last hole in the tank. Welding this week.<br /> * Posted my thoughts on design improvement for the hydraulic tank [http://aispina.blogspot.com/2011/11/thoughts-on-hydraulic-tank-design-for.html here]<br /> <br /> ==November 13==<br /> * Ordered the engine, pump, flanges, and some hydraulic components. All have arrived.<br /> * Machined two holes in the Hydraulic Reservoir.<br /> * Figuring out how to properly clean and finish the inside of the tank.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==October 10==<br /> * Got back from my business trip. Planning on ordering the engine and pump this week.<br /> * Tom sent me information on the muffler design. Still deciding whether to build or buy a muffler.<br /> * Send a query to Briggs and Stratton asking about the difference between these models: #49M777-0118-G1, #49M777-0120-G1, #49M777-0110-G1.<br /> ** If I get a satisfactory response, I&#039;ll try to get it included in the BOM so others can understand the implications of getting a particular model.<br /> <br /> ==October 5==<br /> * Learned from Tom that the cube may need to be taller than 24&quot;.<br /> * Asked Tom about muffler design. The cube BOM mentions the muffler but the manufacturing section doesn&#039;t mention assembly. He is buying one. I may too.<br /> * Fixed some spelling errors on wiki pages. Hoping that I wasn&#039;t stepping on toes.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==September 29==<br /> * Verified Steel order was correct.<br /> * No work next week because I&#039;m on a business trip.<br /> <br /> ==September 27==<br /> * Created a Spreadsheet to track the parts that I have, and need. More detail here[http://aispina.blogspot.com/2011/09/bill-of-materials-prices.html]<br /> * Ordering additional Angle and steel for the Hydraulic Reservoir tomorrow. <br /> * Hopefully begin assembling the frame on Thursday.<br /> <br /> ==September 24==<br /> * Posted to my blog[http://aispina.blogspot.com/2011/09/progress-for-sept-19-23.html] about my first week of work.<br /> <br /> ==September 22==<br /> * Cut my angle to length. The bill of materials for the [[Power Cube]] was wrong I&#039;ll need more angle to build the frame.<br /> <br /> ==September 19==<br /> * Ordered 20 feet (240&quot;) of 2&quot; by 1/4&quot; angle iron. Cost = 65$ + tax. My awesome wife will pick it up.<br /> <br /> ==September 17==<br /> * Started talking to Tom via email about Power Cube documentation and materials.<br /> <br /> ==September 15==<br /> * got permission to use the machine shop at Baltimore County Community College to produce a Power Cube!<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Personal Logs]]<br /> [[Category:Power Cube]]</div>
