CEB Press v17.08 Workshop Improvement Notes

Sourcing Issues

• 2 pieces missing from CNC cutting; need to make sure that materials are available the week before the event and that they are inventoried - or we inventory our own cutting. This is the first time that a steel order was not correct - the CNC shop is at fault here.
• Solution - picking an old part of old machine (secondary arms)

Design

• Tabs on top frame pieces and mid frame pieces are bowing in from the welding. Needs complete ability to weld back and forth until a good weld happens

Equipment

• Gas went out on 1 welder during the workshop (gas solenoid issue?)
• Gas was already out on 1 welder, but that wasn't checked prior to the workshop. Tighter quality control on welders needs to happen before workshop.

• We are down from 6 known working to 4 known working MIGs and 3 stick welders.
• Definite case for open source version of welder so any issue can be addressed readily. Or convert the stick welders to MIG by addition of wire feeder + gas.

Morale

• Definitely people are excited, so things are good
