I saw this yesterday while I was out. It's a Volkswagen ID-Buzz. According to the VW website it starts at $59,999. That's a lot of money but nothing comes cheap these days. It's a cute thing but I'm not in the market for a van, especially an electric one. If I was still working at the high school, I could recharge it by running an extension cord out back like I did for the block heater with the old Ford van. Of course, someone would complain so the order would come down from on high there would be no charging of vehicles on the company's dime.
First cut with the new router setup. The angle is a little too steep, but I cut the rabbet pretty shallow to get a look at how it was going to work. Once I got the feel for it, it was easy enough to move along and get a nice cut. I'm going to shim the fixture some to change the angle. When it looks right, I'll machine it to the proper angle. Looks like about a 3-degree change of angle will do it.
Rain and cool temps lately - big storm came through Monday night and a little more rain yesterday. The grass is growing like crazy, so I'll be mowing the next couple of days along with some project time. I did finish the windmills. The pieces had been galvanized and vinyl coated, and the broken cups the bearings fit in were paper thin. Not the easiest things to weld, but just like the Mounties, I always get my man.
