			Worked for a few hours today on the shredder. I cut the 3/8" steel bar stock into 8 - 2"x2" squares in preparation for making the shredding blades. Still need to figure out the exact design and method I'm going cut the teeth.

	Finally got around to assembling the propane torch. Seems to work pretty well. Going to order the rest of the parts for the aluminum forge next week. Really looking forward to melting all of the aluminum cans I've amassed.		Finally got around to assembling the propane torch. Seems to work pretty well.

			...some time later...

			Turns out three of the parts are incorrectly listed and linked in the BOM on the king of random video. Will make an updated BOM when I've actually gotten this thing fully built and working.

			Missed today's dev meeting due to earlier than usual vision therapy appt. but on the way home from appt. I stopped at Home Despot to see what stuff they have for the shredder I'm building; ended up picking up three pieces of steel:

			# 5/8" steel rod 36" long - $10.97
			# 3/8" steel bar 2" x 36" - $22.87
			# 3/16" steel bar 3" x 36" - $17.64

			I had no idea what I was going to get, going in, but part of my goal is to design around what materials are easy to get at Home Despot (for folks not from the United States: this is a chain hardware store located just about everywhere, it is the least common denominator in terms of being able to go out and buy materials).

			My thought process so far is to take the 3/8" bar and cut it into 2" squares, this will be the cutting blades in the shredder. I will then have to use grinder / chop saw to cut notches in the squares to turn them into cutting blades, something like...

			</html>

			Then use the 3/16" bar as the box frame, doubled up on the narrow side (where shredder rods attach).


			Separately and on amazon, I've also ordered all the parts I need to make this propane torch for the metal furnace (the aluminum cans I've been bringing home and crushed from the fire station and my office aren't going to melt themselves!):
