What’s Greywynd been up to?

It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to check in.

It’s been an extremely busy summer, we had family come visit from Ontario in June, while here, ended up buying a house and selling theirs in the Ottawa area. (Was part of the reason for the trip.)

Work before and after that, and end of July I did a drive east with a new enclosed trailer to load up their stuff and bring it back to Alberta.

Was up north again for work for a few days, and now have been ‘work from home’ for just over a week.

This is some of what I’ve been working on. There’s been about 500, 5/8” diameter holes drilled through 1” thick steel, a bunch of cutting and milling, and more yet to do. These are all the mounting brackets for a new machine we just got. There’s another 2500 pounds of stuff to pick up at the steel supplier yet that they plasma cut for us.

Lot’s more on the go, will try to update over the next while.
