I put a Tesla turbine down at the river behind the house and connected it to a 15 kva generator head. When I open the sluice, that thing hums and makes so much electricity that it glows in the dark. Between the turbine generator and the 25 kw of solar panels, I might survive the apocalypse. Only problem I have is neither one of em will mow my grass. You got one of them 4 lane texas lawn mowers I could borrow?

I got the first side extension out of the electrolysis bath this evening and washed the rust off of it, then rubbed it dry. The second is in the electro-bath tonight and will be ready tomorrow. I'll buy some dark gray paint and coat them, then sand down the tops and wax them with a good quality car polish.

Tomorrow will get the first of the table saw disassembly when I remove the trunions. I plan on putting all of the cast iron parts in the electrolysis bath and then giving them a coat of paint to last a lot of years.
