Yup Pete. Just like baking a cake. Some of them flop.
I had a really interesting day. Remember all the precautions I took to not get Carbon dust on the skin?. I got hit by a Claymore today.
I use a circular saw with a homemade filter over the vent when I cut the Carbon panels. It works fine and today I decided to use the saw for some 8mm Aluminium.
It's boiling hot here so I'm in shorts and it's not a long cut so I use eye protection only. The silly fool that I am, I forgot to clean the machine with the air duster after finishing the Carbon job. As I hit the button I knew I'd messed up. There was a black cloud of dust and I could feel the fragments that were left over in the saw hitting my feet and legs.
I've kept it quiet here because if I mention it to mommy she'll start scratching in sympathy. Actually, she'll say I've contaminated the whole house. I had a shower but it's of little consolation. I put my head down and worked instead.
I got a lot done. The floor and sides of the driver's cell are jigged and bonded. I collected my Aluminium motor plates from Geraldo. The rear plate went on perfectly and only needs shaping. I had to drill all the holes for the front plate and do the cutouts for the water pump. He just milled the recess for the crank seal and it all turned out great. That one will get final finishing tomorrow.
