Tomorrow (Wednesday) I'm planning to start work on the drivetrain. My friend Kelvin, whose tools I've been borrowing, just purchased a band saw (lucky me!). He's agreed to help me try cutting the aluminum tubing for the drivetrain at his house. Today we did a test cut just to make sure the band saw could handle it. It seemed to work great.
Back home, I countersunk the four holes in the back door, so that the screws holding the door onto the body will sit flush with the back door's surface.
Later in the evening, I started marking up the aluminum tubing for tomorrow's cuts. This drivetrain will be based on the Heath and Alex drivetrain design.
I really hope I don't mess this up. I've already realized I have one problem - the wheels I purchased are too wide for the tube. I'm hoping I can Dremel out some material from the aluminum tube to get the wheels to fit.
