Happy Spring! We're having a slow warmup which is great for thawing out the ground without causing huge runoffs.
Jim started his day off meeting the semi truck from Albany Steel with his order of steel to complete his workbench.
Getting ready to unload...
All unloaded from the delivery truck...
and loaded into the back of Jim's truck...
Since getting a new thermal breaker wasn't in the cards to fix the old air compressor, Jim worked on a plan to bypass the breaker. He did pick up a small spring yesterday at the engine shop that he hoped would work to replace one that broke. He was able to get it all working again! It just makes it easier at the moment to use this compressor since the hose line to the big compressor isn't complete yet. On that note, some of his parts for that came in today, so it will start taking shape soon.
Now that Jim has his steel, the rest of the day was spent making pieces for the workbench. Here he's drilling holes in a fastener plate...
These plates will be welded to the legs of the table to add strength when Jim bolts pieces together.
He got all 4 fastener plates drilled and welded on to the table legs!
