did a little idea for mounting trencher on lifetrac [[Media:Trencheridea20131203.torrent]]

started an idea for the [[MicroHouse Collaboration 2014]]. half circle ceb design. roof will slant to center of flat wall. [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwxMMqGvwTM-aVZsV1VycnRDdkE/edit?usp=sharing google doc skp - work in progress]

machine screw idea for trencher
1-1/2 long. 1/2" nuts are a little less than 1/2 tall, wich will be shorter than the 1/2 thick tooth plate.

finished cutting tubing

cleaned up some pivot plates with chisel and file

=sep 15, 2013=

finished 4x4s

cut DOM tubing for pivot plates

tools used:
*band saw
*speed square
*C clamps
*angle iron
*calipers
*steel shims

process description:
*set up an end stop on the band saw
**clamped small piece of angle iron 1/2" away from blade
**used speed square to keep perpindicular
*placed some shims to keep area infront of angle iron level with band saw base
*used some extra tubing with same O.D. to maintain distance of the swivel clamp by placing on opposite side of clamp
*placed tubing to be cut in clamp
*lowered blade to just above tube
*using calipers checked distance
*tightened clamp
*cut
**maintained about 2-3.5 on the hydraulic lowering setting for the kalamazoo brand band saw
*after cut checked width for accuracy
*continued next cut
*durring cutting used file to clean up edges of previously cut tube ring
*set aside for next process

=sep 14, 2013=

cut day 4x4s

tools used:
*speed square
*tape measure
*ruler
*soap stone
*abrasive saw
*big table
*scrap metal for leveling
*power cord

process desription:
*set up cutting area for 10' sections
*marked general location of cut on 4x4
*using ruler found center between holes
*marked center
*used speed square to draw line along center
*checked line with ruler again
*aligned in saw
*tightened into saw
*algined again
*final tighten
*cut
*when abrasive wheel became smaller would rotate 4x4 so that saw would continue previous cut
*marked feet and inches on 4x4
*placed in pile
