You may need to look into "early onset dementia" It is a terrible condition. My mother has it and we all overlooked the problem until we had to face the condition. We will be praying for you a new job and your extended family
Looks functional to me. Might want to put some sheet metal around some of it for inclement weather. Forging in the rain is peaceful. I know you will lose track of time I always do!
A lot of us started in the fifties and sixties. We did not have internet and old-timers were hard to find. We worked problems out by trial and error. didn't work the first or second time rethink your method. It is only cheap metal!
Any way you go solar, generated. Commercial power is always cheaper when you have the required amps delivered. Maybe start up expensive, but cheaper in the long run.
Thanks again Glenn. we went to the Flagstaff meeting and met a wonderful group of people. Paid the dues and joined on the spot. We hope to be contributing members to this group. Thank you again for the information.
Yes just follow the guide line dimensions For the threads and remember a cold chisel will remove them when driven backwards against normal rotation. Very use full For blind riveted looking attachments.
Unfortunately rebar is only good for one use (buried in cement) Sirsparky we have all tried to use the stuff but it is not worth the effort put into it. unfortunately.
I have used them a lot. They work great. To remove just take a chisel to the side and drive them reverse direction. Very useful rivet for blind applications.
Take it to a rewind shop. The only way to remove the stator is to pack the inside with dry ice and heat the outside shell evenly then use a press to punch it out. Rewind shops are prepared with the proper tooling
