Tropical Storm Hermine Strikes The Hunting Club!

Head on photo of the laundry room building.

The tree that finally snapped.

Well, not all that hard after all of the hype and preparation. By the time hurricane Hermine finished crossing the Florida panhandle and southern Georgia that had been 80 MPH winds had diminished to 45 MPH winds. Still this pine that had fallen victim to insects wasn’t up to those winds and snapped off, the top section striking the admittedly overbuilt laundry building. I’m glad because the laundry room has a most un-RV like shower with room for two people.

About Art

55 years old. By training, ability and experience I am a master toolmaker. My most recent projects include designing and building a process to grind a G rotor pump shaft with four diameters and holding all four diameters within plus or minus 4 microns of nominal. This was an automated process using two centerless grinders refitted to my specifications using automatic load and unload machines plus automatic feedback gauging. I also designed and built an inspection machine to check for the presence and size of a straight knurl on a hinge pin using a vision system for non-contact gauging.
