STEP 11: Preparing the Assembly Base
At this point in the project, I thought the next step would
be to construct the roofs for the breaker and the conveyor
and put together the sides and roof for the receiving bin.
As I began to take measurements for the roof of the large
conveyor, I realized the part of the roof would extend over
the tower at the end of the conveyor. And the end support
for the roof would be attached to the tower.
Therefore, there was no way to accurately measure the
length of the roof without having the conveyor and the
tower glued in place. So the next step became building
the base so that the breaker, conveyor and tower could be
glued in place prior to constructing the roofs.
In order to make sure that all of the various pieces fit
together correctly and to provide some support, cut a 13” x
35: Styrene base for large conveyor, breaker and
receiving bin.
