Soldered IGBT to wires and mounted on heat sync. Went to Harbor Freight and got welding rods, electrode holder and grounding clamp.
Continued cleaning and reorganizing house and workshop. Visited with friends who have electric heaters and cots we can borrow for the workshop. Also gave ideas on food and lodging.
Reorganizing the workshop, moved a tractor tire rim to the back yard as a fire pit and lit a fire to get it started. Found an Arduion Mega board and electronic components for testing the PWM capability to drive LED for the "light dimmer" application. Tried it using the Arduino dev kit from a Mac, but it didn't see the Arduino. Tried again, but from a Linux PC and got it communicating.
Cleaning and reorganizing the farm house and workshop during the day and spent the night working on instructional.
