Ugh, a combination of tiredness and a time shift (Spring Forward!) have conspired to have me sleep in until 10:00 am today. So there's a chunk of day behind me!
No welding class next Saturday, so I plan on making a winding jig and winding my big Tesla Coil primary next weekend! I'll have to buy parts during the week, but I got a royalty check and a check for an article last week, so Simreal has cash. Yay!
Today, a little monkeying around in the shop with fire, maybe fiddle with my new blower for the fire tripod, and the bulk of the day assigned to soldering up those tesla driver boards.
I have one horrible HACK that I need to rectify already, I have one chip in surface mount that should be through-hole (they were out of stock). But we are using sockets. My plan was to solder wires to the SMT for now. I've waited long enough, though, that the proper part is probably in stock so I should order that instead!
We'll see.
