STEM Concepts Investigated:
We need to know (or have someone that knows); how to weld, has knowledge of fabrication/assembly,
Anticipated Course of Action:
At first, we would order the parts necessary for construction, once all the parts had arrived, we would actually begin constructing the mill. During the construction stage, we will look for flaws in our design that we had not seen before, and also see our product for the first time. We are going to test this product a lot, since Jeremy has access to logs, it shouldn't be hard to get into the testing stage. In the testing stage we will be looking for effectiveness of our mill, compared to other mills. Also we will look for fractures or any problems with the durability of our mill. For data gathering, we will measure out a log, and time how long it takes to get to the other end, as well as document how many times the mill stops or gets stuck, and how rough the cuts are.
