 Okay this is pretty much done and it's amazing now I need to figure out all the rest of the parts now the reason I could figure out all this before I did all the rest is because most of this doesn't have to have any reference to the rest of the machine the only thing it needs is has to attach by these pivot points so it was easy to design this whole thing but now with the next parts of the machine they all connect to each other in ways that are not necessarily obvious so I kind of need to design the whole next whole rest of everything all at once at least at least get the main details out of the way so in order to do that I've been pulling materials out just taking a look at what I have I have three of these which I think will probably be useful right there and you know I have a lot of like little pieces and you know maybe not little but smaller than those but I'm gonna need some big pieces to make this big frame that the saw needs to go on so I just went and got the only thing I think I currently have that'll do it it's on my boat right now this thing here used to be the mast of a ship actually that the second mass this is a smaller one there was a bigger one and it's just you know I've been saving it for something really good there's so many amazing things I could do with it and I think I need to use it for the lumber mill even though they're like a hundred other things I could do with it but it's like the perfect thing for that big main frame part because it's gonna be really strong it's gonna be heavy enough that you know the thing's not gonna tip over very easily but it's gonna be light enough that it's easy to move yeah it's just it's just like the perfect thing so I think probably I'm gonna use this how long it is just like well it's longer than my boat by quite a bit anyway and then I also have back here in my you know junk stuff this cart it's like a pretty strong I need to pull it out of there junk on top of it but it's a pretty strong stainless steel rectangle with some sides coming up and even has some wheels on the bottom which maybe I could use to move the whole thing I don't know I'll have to check them out I need to pull that out get this why is there so many so much cardboard in here has this become your cardboard dumping ground yeah yeah I'm talking to you this is like Aurora's mega workshop and whenever she gets tired something it goes off the end of the table right here so we're gonna have to clean it up sorry what happens oh it accidentally falls off sorry well either way we need to clean it up and I need to get that out of there now I'm at the part where I think I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do however I want to spend maybe like a day just rolling around other ideas in my head like kind of variations and things and then some ideas that are just completely weird and crazy you know because every once in a while one of those nut brain ideas turns out to be really good so yeah so I'm probably gonna use that ship mast to build a big frame and use those big rectangle pieces to build a piece that goes on that frame that can move up and down and then use that stainless steel cart to move to build a piece that goes left and right on that second piece and then that stainless steel piece is what the saw will attach to and yeah and then I'll have wheels under that big frame because it has to have wheels so it can drive you know along a log and cut a log and then it would drive along probably a couple pipes that I don't have yet but I can get pipes that's not that hard so that's probably what I'm gonna do but then another part of my brain is working on a different problem I say to that guy okay look you've got this saw blade and it's spinning let's just look at the problem in the most basic way this saw blade has to go like this all the way down a log and then rotate and then come back all the way back down the log so get rid of all preconceived notions don't think about what you're probably gonna do just throw everything out and just start with that most basic principle and see what you come up with and sometimes I mean that guy comes up with stuff I end up doing kind of a lot of time actually although right now I'm pretty sure I know what I'm gonna do but yeah let me just run it around in my head for a while and thinking like this usually involves a lot of pacing around I'll do some cooking play some video games just like just like yeah doing stuff in my head alright just for visual reference this is the basic idea that I'm probably gonna end up doing the blue part here that's the you know the main frame the main frame which rolls along whatever track and this whole thing moves down the track right and then this red part is the part that moves up and down so it'll slide up and down on these blue parts and then the yellow part there that will slide this way so the yellow part slides this way you could say that's the x-axis this is the a y-axis and this is a z-axis I mean depending on how you want to orient your axis axes in any way and I'm thinking of making this mainly out of that that masked from the ship and this part those aluminum aluminium rectangle tubes and then this yellow part out of that steel cart thing and these this all is not the correct details at all like all the connections and the shapes of everything but this is just to get a rough idea of what I'm probably gonna do but my brain is just gonna think of all kinds of different things and someone's probably gonna give me some suggestions and some comments here and maybe I'll read those two and at some point I'll either do this I don't know
