Week 14 - Continuing To Build

This week we worked on cutting the pieces of wood to produce the tables. I used the table saw and templates to make the cuts. The templates helped us pump out the pieces fairly quickly, and a few drill bits were broken in the assembly process. Breaking a drill bit is an annoying occurrence, a broken bit can halt an entire assembly process. Progress is being made at a good rate, and the projected deadline will most likely be made.

Week 13 - Putting Parts Together

This week I have been helping with putting the table parts together for the outdoor learning environment. After the table tops are done they weigh a considerable amount. The main challenge with placing the table top on the table base is aligning them properly. A few chisel jobs needed to be done on some ends of the table top, but overall they are coming along nicely.

   

Week 12 - CNC Router

This week in Auto CAD we have been working on getting the CNC router operational. The main issue that was encountered, was the routers trouble with moving on the z axis. After some reassembling and restarts, we finally were able to get the axis operational. The driver for the computer to get the application working were also installed to make sure everything connected together.
