No word from the paint shop yet, Friday was a possibility when I dropped them off last weekend, but obviously that ain't happeneing. I was hopefull because that would have given me all week end to assemble them. I'll get started on them soon as I get them back. I got a couple extra sets for samples and displays that my friend is powdercoating today. I'm also trying to get some vendor booth displays set up for the open house at Cape Fear HD in Fayetteville NC this comming weekend, don't think I'm going to make it. First batch may be a few days late, second batch should still be on track for end of May, and I think 3rd batch may be a little early with improvements in my processes. I have the welding dialed in pretty well now, to the point I can almost eliminate any secondary grinding for clearance. I finnished up a new fixture for trimming the fan housings on the lathe and it works excellent, I got it down to about a minute per fan. My next priority is to work on my round punches for the screens and thermal barrier material for the back of the motors. I got material sawed for the next 50 sets, so If I finish the other stuff I need to do and I can't start assembly on the first batch, I'll just start preparing the next batch. It will get quicker, Please understand that I'm still getting set up, and untill now I've done all my machine work work olde timey hand ground tools. I already tried out my new carbide insert lathe tools, they're going to make a big difference. Wife and baby girl just got home late last night after three weeks away, so I want to spend some time with them right now. Thanks again for your patience and support.
