This last week we got our order in of 6061 Al T6511 and measure and cut a few pieces. After a couple pieces were cut, I realized our estimates on what we were cutting was wrong. This wasn't a huge issue for two reasons. One being that we were planning to shape the material then cut it to specific dimensions. The other being that I caught the error and corrected very early into cutting material and we still have a sufficient amount of material.
Jez and I also registered for our TIG welding classes. We will be taking that class this Saturday, 2/18. After the class I plan to spend the following week doing practice welding with scrap material we have. Hopefully, by the end of next week, welding of the actual track should begin. I say hopefully because this last week has had a number of setbacks and mistakes. Fortunately it is still early and our deadlines should not be affected, it is only going to be a bit more difficult.
