I have ten (10) more kits to sell when this is all done.

First come, first served, until they are gone.

They'll be sold as semi-finished kits only though. I don't want to deal with another huge **** storm like this again.

very understandable I'll keep checking to see when this gets done but if you would shoot me a pm when its all over with I would like a shot at one of the 10
goodluck on finishing these up

I would be interested in one of the 10 down the road when they are available. keep me posted about them

Goldie sent me back a board that he thought he'd gotten fixed, but when I tested it, I got the same outcome as before, so I don't think we're really any better off yet.

Sorry I don't have better news on that front.

With the rain and crummy weather, I haven't gotten anything done out in the shop either.

Too cold for the CNC to operate correctly, and too damned wet and soft to get more propane into the tanks either (plus it's like $2.65 a gal right now).

Hopefully the weather will break this week or next and I can get something done.

Well atleast something is happen.. I cant wait to get better weather my self. Drop a couple inchs of snow here yesterday... This weather sucks.

Just wondering if Jared got ahold of you about the eye covers for my body. He said he would try and contact you!

He did.

Right now, he is waiting on me to supply him with a SuperULE rail, which I have not machined yet.

We're on the same page though, which is more than we had two weeks ago, so that's something at least.

Did any parts go to gruntbull yet?

Great that is prefect news!!!!!!

No, they're waiting on me to get the SuperULE rails cut.

I'll do my damnedest to get at least a few cut this weekend.

I've got the GCode done, the tools pulled and ready to load, and the bar stock waiting in the rack, I just need the weather to cooperate for a couple of days in a row.

The CNC machine refuses to shift the gearbox or change tools when the ambient temp is below 65-70 degs F inside the shop. Differential heating causes the tools to stick in the spindle and fault out the control. When that happens, it's a start over from the beginning kind of problem, which makes it a big problem. Assuming I can actually physically remove the stuck toolholder from the spindle, I have to do so by hand, then reset the tool changer manually, drop the umbrella down and reload the rogue toolholder, jog back to a safe zone, and restart the program from the beginning (and then hope another tool doesn't stick the second time around). Basically, it makes it impossible to get anything done.

Same thing with the gear box in the head. The gears and bearings get warm with use, but the casting stays pretty much at ambient when it's cold (just not enough heat generated to keep up with the loss to the surrounding air, so the temp never really rises above ambient), so the shafts bind the shifter shuttle when it tries to shift into high gear. When it's cutting alum, I only ever use high gear, BUT in order to change tools, it has to down shift into low, index the spindle to change the tool, then shift back into high and spin up the new tool. If it can't get back into high for whatever reason, it faults out and we go back to the start again. It's not as involved a restart as the tool changer fault, but it still makes me restart the program from the beginning, and once again, basically makes it impossible to get anything done.

Ordinarily, I'd just crank up the heater for a day or so and let things warm up real good and stay there, but I ran out of propane about two or three weeks back, and it has literally been raining here ever since. That means there's no way to get a truck into the yard and around behind the shop to fill the tanks (it'd just sink up to the axles the instant it left the gravel drive, hell, I sink up to the axles when I walk out there). Couple that with propane that is ~$2.65 a gallon and two tanks totalling 1500 gals of capacity, and add in that it's nearly summer for good measure, and you find that the heat just ain't a gonna be running for a month or two at least.

When it gets above 70 degs F outside for a couple of days, I can get back in there and bang out some rails. Until then, we wait.

Sorry, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

If you haven't sent to gruntbull, and you have been speaking to Jared, is it too late to get the eyes installed? I can't seem to get a hold of him.

From what i know Jared has a months of work ahead of him. I would guess if he has not gotten back to you it might be a little late. I sent my body over to him about 4 months ago. But you never know. Keep trying to get ahold of jared and find out. I dont think Ryan knows what Jared project load is. Jared might be able to do your body the same time he does mine. What kind of body are you Using? And what kind of rail?

One more thing. What part of Saskatchewan are you from. I spent some time in Regina and PA a few years ago.

I play with PA Predators, but I live about 80 miles away.

My problem is that my emails bounce back, and he never returns messages on his answering machine. I am using the superULE rail with vert ULE body.

[CoolHand]

Nothing has gone to ano yet, so you're OK there.

I have no better luck getting a hold of Jared than anyone else does (though my emails don't bounce outright), sometimes it's more than a week from when I send an email to when I get a response (assuming I get one).

The guy's just hella busy, and like me, he's a little scatter-brained on the small stuff. Keep trying, you'll catch him eventually.
