KNIFE MAKER
We have made some progress on the blocks.
We did a redesign of the machine to improve it. It works great and have made more blocks. We tested the latest block by putting Harvey's C5500 welding truck on it like we did my truck. It felt the weight and distorted a bit but returned to its shape when the truck was removed.
We did a video of us making a block from start to finish and sent it to a lot of people. There is now an engineering firm in New Mexico that is interested in testing it. This thing looks like it has legs and may go somewhere.
If anyone is interested in seeing the video of the block being made, here are the links. It is broken into six parts and all together is about 20 minutes. Please ignore the dirty faces and clothes, it was a long day.
