It’s Monday, and it’s November. Hopefully no one is too shaken by the time change. Most of the US gains an hour in the fall, and loses one in the spring. I do appreciate the extra hour of sleep in the fall.
We kicked off this past week with continuing to look at the subject of variation. Specifically how to measure variation and its effects on production.
Despite the record setting cold here in Utah I was out in the shop and continued to work on several of the projects. The VZ-58 build is now ready for test firing. We’ll have a few write ups on that coming up this week. For now here’s the last few things we had to do to get ready.
VZ-58: Trigger Guard, Stock, & Fire Control Group
I totally messed up single point cutting the threads on the Draw Die Housing, I ended up having to restart the whole project, but I learned a few things. Everything is written up here.
Bullet Swaging: Draw Die Housing Part 2
The 3D Printer build goes strong. Parts are on order, I’ve been itching to finish the design to the point where I can begin to really get into fabrication. Here’s the little I’ve been able to do so far.
3D Printer: Y-Axis Rods Fabrication
Seems like for every hour of fab there is at least three hours of design work that design work that goes into it.
