This is what I am doing:
 
I'm Andrew Spina. I live in Baltimore, Maryland. I'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].
 
==December 1==
* Cleaned inside of tank, and covered it with WD-40.
* TIG welded large flange to standoff tube and tube to hydraulic reservoir.
 
==November 28==
* Machined the last hole in the tank. Welding this week.
* Posted my thoughts on design improvement for the hydraulic tank [http://aispina.blogspot.com/2011/11/thoughts-on-hydraulic-tank-design-for.html here]
 
==November 13==
* Ordered the engine, pump, flanges, and some hydraulic components. All have arrived.
* Machined two holes in the Hydraulic Reservoir.
* Figuring out how to properly clean and finish the inside of the tank.
 
 
==October 10==
* Got back from my business trip. Planning on ordering the engine and pump this week.
* Tom sent me information on the muffler design. Still deciding whether to build or buy a muffler.
* Send a query to Briggs and Stratton asking about the difference between these models: #49M777-0118-G1, #49M777-0120-G1, #49M777-0110-G1.
** If I get a satisfactory response, I'll try to get it included in the BOM so others can understand the implications of getting a particular model.
 
==October 5==
* Learned from Tom that the cube may need to be taller than 24".
* Asked Tom about muffler design. The cube BOM mentions the muffler but the manufacturing section doesn't mention assembly. He is buying one. I may too.
* Fixed some spelling errors on wiki pages. Hoping that I wasn't stepping on toes.
 
 
==September 29==
* Verified Steel order was correct.
* No work next week because I'm on a business trip.
 
==September 27==
* 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]
* Ordering additional Angle and steel for the Hydraulic Reservoir tomorrow.
* Hopefully begin assembling the frame on Thursday.
 
==September 24==
* Posted to my blog[http://aispina.blogspot.com/2011/09/progress-for-sept-19-23.html] about my first week of work.
 
==September 22==
* Cut my angle to length. The bill of materials for the [[Power Cube]] was wrong I'll need more angle to build the frame.
 
==September 19==
* Ordered 20 feet (240") of 2" by 1/4" angle iron. Cost = 65$ + tax. My awesome wife will pick it up.
 
==September 17==
* Started talking to Tom via email about Power Cube documentation and materials.
 
==September 15==
* got permission to use the machine shop at Baltimore County Community College to produce a Power Cube!
