First Week of Fabrication

After making some changes to our module designs, we finally got to hit the machine shop this week. Everyone's been able to get in throughout the day and we've got a lot of finished parts to show for our effort.

So far we've used most of the machines (lathe, mill, band saw, arbor press) and mulitple processes (turning, cutting, drilling, pressing, threading). Some of the parts we've ordered have started coming in, and as soon as we get the rest and some more raw materials we'll be able to fabricate the last of our MCM parts. Barring a lack of materials, we should be able to start assembling the module early next week. By the end of the week we should have moved on to fine tuning and fabricating the next modules.
