And I've been dreaming all about it. So let's make a whole bunch of parts and build the structure for the robot's elbow. And I really mean it when I say a whole bunch of parts. It's machining mayhem! And I'm gonna have a lot of chips to dispose of when these are all done. ------------------- CHAPTERS: 01:19 - Step 1: First Steps 05:14 - Step 2: Get Your Bearings 07:23 - Step 3: Getting Shafted 10:58 - Step 4: Flanging 13:25 - Step 5: Pesky Mounting Provisions 15:21 - Step 6: Justifying the Tool Budget 17:54 - Sponsored Content: Brilliant 19:17 - Step 7: Splitting Sides 24:40 - Step 8: Big Mistake.
