Projects...
Projects are those things I do to my mule to make it better, easier to use, more functional or just something I thought of to give me something to do. These projects are in addition to the standard replace, repair and maintenance work.
I doubt if many of the projects here are new concepts. They are only my final design and implementation. I know they work because I use them regularly so I consider them proven.
I have already completed several projects on the Mule and now I am going back to document the how of the what I did. This will take a little time but I hope to be able to spend time on them as I continue to expand the projects. I put several up on G503 but they are now buried so I will migrate them here as well.
I have tried to lay out the projects in a standard format that will hopefully define what the project is, what materials and tools are needed, the steps to complete the project while supplying drawings, pictures and application where they might be beneficial.
All CAD drawing measurements are in Decimal. Here is a Fraction to Decimal Conversion Chart to use as a reference if you need to translate measurements to fractions.
