Life throws curveballs and has unexpected surprises. Today is not really an exception. I was told Wednesday that Friday would be my last day of work for my present employment. This isn’t too much of a surprise for being a temporary laborer but a pain in the butt after nearly six months. Today, however, I was given the chance to work on my project. I got all the build done from the metal shop with minimal assistance. I started off with getting the plans to the guy who runs the CAD operation to put in the coordinates for the laser cutter to work with. After this there was quite a bit of using hand brakes to fold the angles before the spot welding to secure metal in place. The final touch was getting a vent port on, spot welding it and then sealing it with polyurethane.
There’s more to come that may include getting another piece of metal inside as an attachment arm for when I have the fan on hand. Assembling the electrical connections will be easy enough after a little research. After that I’ll build the hood and sides for collection and then spray paint it all for uniformity.

This is coming along pretty well I’d say even iff a little off kilter and probably in need of some feet for better balance.
