Experiments were satisfying. Here, it rains so much, exterior plywood from crates is useless for outside projects that need to last for over 6 months. I took down the lift/drag mill and stored the wings for a later redesign.
I am impatiently waiting for a crate with MUCH needed parts for the sawmill and a new turbine build. I'm on an extremely lower fixed income, so, just buying stuff is not practical. Once the mill is working, we should get a nice increase in funds.
Got the water turbine runner welded up. Now, need a sheet of 1/8" steel for the housing and new pillow blocks. The pond liner is in Florida awaiting shipping down here.
This is why I have so many projects going at once. Run out of parts, move to a waiting project. Got the metal lathe going. Just need the acme thread rod and nuts that are in the damn crate. It's been a month since it was picked up, in Florida.
