Well, had an adventurous yesterday. Got a lot done. The motor plate, the tracking pivot hinge and tracking axle hinge are all done. All that remains to be machined are the wheel axles. I'm glad I printed out the prints because yesterday afternoon, I dropped my laptop out in the shop and corrupted the hdd. As of now, I lost everything, but I will try and hopefully be able to recover some of it. The grinder model is the least of my concerns at this point.
Anyway, heres some pics.

And my superflex tig cable showed up too. Sooooomuch better. Can't wait to use it. Which bring up another point, with the model lost, I'm flying a bit blind on assembly dimensions. Think I have most of it committed to memory, and the rest I'll just have to figure it out on the bench.

Now that I've finally been able to rest my password, I'm typing this from my phone. I hate phones......
