Grinding
Cleanup
Painting
Welding/Fabrication Tips
Welding
- Site prep: grind surfaces to be welded with the angle grinder until all rust and mill scale is gone; the area should be clean, bare metal. This will make striking and maintaining an arc much easier, leave a cleaner bead, and minimize impurities and porosity in the final weld.
- Avoid Galvanized Metal: Any galvanization should be ground off of the immediate weld area and as much of the surrounding area as is possible. Ventilate the area thoroughly, wear a respirator if possible, try to situate yourself so that smoke will not get under your mask or around your eyes. Galvanization is a coating of zinc, which melts and burns at a much lower temperature than steel. Zinc smoke can cause metal fume fever and possibly long-term health issues!
- Check welder settings: the inside panel of most MIG welders will have a chart detailing recommended machine settings (voltage and wire feed rate) for welding depending on material thickness.
- Heat distorts: too much welding at one time in one area will cause the pieces to warp and could distort final assembly. Try to ‘balance’ the distribution of your welds to minimize localized heat buildup.
- Welds contract as they cool: Cooling beads will pull parts together. Keep this in mind and use the pull to correct distortions as you are welding.
- Cleanup: “A grinder and some paint can make a welder what he ain’t.” Use a grinder to flatten any lumpy welds to final spec. Use a flapper disc to remove slag and spatter from weld area. Paint cleaned welds/weld areas soon to minimize rust infiltration.
- Safety: Always try to work behind a welding curtain if possible. Call out to other people in the immediate area before you strike an arc (“Contact!” or “Welding!”) so unprotected people can look away. Make sure your workpiece and/or weld spatter won’t ignite or scorch anything it’s not supposed to. If you are ever unsure about what you are doing, ask someone!
Welding/Fabrication Tips (cont.)
Grinding
- Keep an eye on your grinding disc: replace it if you can see the fiber mesh in the disc. Under absolutely no circumstances use a grinding disc that is cracked or missing chunks.
- Use the grinder to clean up weld beads to final spec. This may be a simple cleanup to remove spatter, or might involve grinding lumpy/ugly welds flush.
- Briefly run the grinder along sharp edges and corners that people will come into contact with. Knock off burrs, torch slag, etc., anything that could snag or lacerate.
- Safety: The grinder continues to spin after you disengage the power, think about how you set the tool down so it won’t run away from you. Eye/face protection is an ABSOLUTE MUST. Be mindful of your work area, use care when grinding with people behind you!
Drill Press
- Center punch: use a punch to make a divot in the metal for the point of the drill bit to sit in before you start drilling. This will help keep the bit from skipping around as you start the hole.
- Patience: use a light pressure while starting a hole. Keep a steady pressure throughout the drilling, don’t try to force the drill. Let the tool do the work. Regularly back the drill out of the hole as you progress through the material, this will clear swarf from the hole and drill bit. In general, the larger the drill bit, the slower the drill speed should be.
- Lube, lube, lube: Always use a cutting fluid or some form of oil-based lubricant when drilling. Lube regularly as you continue through the material. Lube smoke is okay; screeching, chattering, hot drilling is NOT.

Before uploading images to Trove Box, rename the files according to the following format: date taken, last name, first name, keyword
Ex: An image taken on June 2, 2014, by Marcin of the CEB Press would have the following file name: “140602_jakubowski_marcin_cebpress.jpg”
If you post multiple photos taken on the same day of the same thing, just number the photos at the end of the file name (e.g., if you have ten photos of the same thing, you’d name them “140602_jakubowski_marcin_cebpress01.jpg”, “140602_jakubowski_marcin_cebpress02.jpg”, ... “140602_jakubowski_marcin_cebpress10.jpg”
Minutes
Everyone should interact with OSE’s twitter (@osecology) at some point during the summer, preferably on a regular basis. If you don’t have twitter, sign up here. If you don’t know how to use twitter, read this. Interact by retweeting what OSEcology tweets or tweeting @OSEcology
Things you could share with OSEcology:
-photos/videos from the work day
-interesting things that happened at Factor e Farm
-articles you read (or wrote!) on DIY culture, urban farming, open source-anything, etc.
Get creative and add to the list if you think of anything else people can tweet to OSEcology. :)

Populating our IRC
Internet relay chat (or something similar) is an essential part of any global open source project. It allows developers to keep in touch and collaborate lucidly over great distances. It also creates a platform of Q&A for users and novice developers. When my interest in OSE was blooming, I frequently visited the IRC and found that it was usually dormant. When I did run into other folks, they were other potential collaborators seeking more information.
IRC can be an important tool for connecting us after leaving Factor E Farm, and allowing us to share what we’ve learned with people who want to help.
