We have more than 1 tonne of collected plastic in the garage.
We have the chipper and extrusion pump machine type thing.
We have a garage.
Set up a drop point for more plastic.
We are poised to make plater pots, roof tiles, fence posts, bricks, sports cones and other useful things.
Tomorow. I will be able to stream us chipping the first plastic.
Will it work.
How long does it take to chip a milk bottle.
How much plastic do i need to make a planter pot or other item.
What will happen OMG what will happen.
Will I really be able to make useful things, sell them on, raise money to assist with reef replanting around the pacific ?
We shall soon see!
Today we went looking for a pulley.
The pulley will let us join the electric motor we found outside in the alley to the plastic shredder. It was attached to my old singer sewing machine. If this all works it means that the plastic shredder will be going and we can finally get to shredding plastic that we have been collecting in the garage ! It will be superb! We shall be able to tidy the garage, shred plastic, make room to assemble the new machine and then make our first planter pots and day dream of other wonderful we can start to make. We got our pulley from these guys https://www.saecowilson.co.nz/ they were great, knew what we would need, were nice to explain a few things and jolly a person like me along who has no idea really what he is talking about. Tomorow.
I have fingers crossed that we will be chipping!
A day of chipping ! magnificent.
