Day 1 Training

Day 1 went along about as expected.  We were all in good spirits.

The big problem we had was static.  It is dry out and in, the machines create static.  We know this.  Based on this we spent most of the day on the picker, carder, felter.  We need to get the static reduced to deal really well with the pin drafter.  And if your pin drafter is moving slowly, so is your spinner! 

The first part of the morning was spent readying machines.  The safety cages and some wiring needed to be done to the carder.   There was a trip to Lowes involved but when isn't there?

So, here is a montage of photos from yesterday:
