Nice work Larry! And thanks for all the compliments guys. It really was a work of love, though a battle in some respects because I had problems with the power in the shop. Several times the main breaker on the house tripped.
The house has only 100 amp 220v single phase service. The shop is fed via a 60 amp circuit breaker for the RPC, to separate 20 amp breakers for each machine. Instead of tripping the 20 amp or 60 amp breakers, the whole house main 100 amp breaker is tripping. I've got an electrician coming this morning to quote an upgrade to 200 amp service and move the out-of-code weatherhead (connection at the side of the house from the utility pole.)
In my dreams I'd be tapping the 14,400 volt three phase power that is right there on the same pole. Russ knows the battle to get it from the power company.
P.S. - I learned from the funeral home director that only all-metal and stone urns can be buried in Massachusetts cemeteries without encasing them in a concrete "vault". Mine qualified, though it's going into a "columbarium."
