Kohler Generator Part 2

The saws are done! Gregory and I went to the Power Generator plant and picked them up. They look absolutely fantastic and it was a real treat to see them all nice and tidy in all their black powder-coated glory. Bill, Barbara and Kevin have been so kind to help with this project, I can’t thank them enough.

Now it’s time to finish out the handles. Bruce from the Service Machine department can now finish up my handles. He had to wait until we had our finished, painted saw blades in order to use a micrometer to measure the exact thickness of the blades, including the thickness of the powder coating. He can now cut the slots for installation.

The Backstaff project is coming along just fine. The brass pours went great and after Larry ground off the runners and vents, I turned two sets of the arcs over to Jack in the Polishing department for him to work his magic.

My latest project is based on a 16^th century navigational device called a “nocturnal.” In my piece, instead of divining time according to the position of the stars, my version is intended as a device to orient the user/viewer towards determining their position in a swiftly-changing, technologically-driven, contemporary world.
