This is a log tracking my (Brianna Kufa's) progress at Factor E Farm

August 21, 2011

Today I started the log and recorded what I've done here in the past couple of days.

  • I updated the Soil Loading Drawer page fabrication instructions to make it the most modern version.

  • I finished welding the cylinder to the press foot on the back side.
  • I began making the Soil Loading Drawer for the 4th press. This proved to be a little frustrating as the metal we ordered all was about an inch longer than how we ordered it, so I had to make nearly twice as many cuts to prepare them.
  • I helped Marcin raise the roof for the new workplace. We stayed up till 4am raising it inch by inch with a farm jack. We screwed in tall 2x4's to hold it in place as we were lifting it.

  • I finished the two frame/cylinder components of two of the 4 CEB presses I am building
    Me with the 2 ready to assemble ones, and the third, already assembled one in the background
    . These are ready to be erected (meaning adding arms, legs, hopper assemblies).
  • I began welding the cylinder to the press foot on the fourth CEB. See Frame with main cylinder. I took some time to square it up perfectly, so that the plate is perpendicular to the cylinder in all directions.
    Ensuring the cylinder is perfectly square with the press foot before welding it.
