Summary:
This project has a lot of separate parts that need to be machined or otherwise fabricated. This document is a place for me to keep track of what I have made, and what I still need to make.
Note: This is a living document, I will keep it up to date as the process proceeds.

Platen attachment: (Fabrication In Progress)
The primary grinding attachment, used for general contouring, handle work, and bevel grinding. Once this is complete the grinder will be usable.
Arm: Fabricate.
Slack Plate: Tap remaining holes, sand.
Platen Mounts: C
Platen: Fix warping, Glue.
Grind Table: Cut to rough shape, CAD.
Machine Spacers: Fabricate.
Main Electronics: (Design Ongoing)
A secondary grinding attachment used for complex profiling. I have not yet decided to begin designing/building this attachment
Wiring: Purchase wires, purchase glands, run wires.
Testing: power on, configure.
Modify support plate: design, cad, cam, fabricate.
Modify front face: source switches, design, cad, cam, fabricate.
