Wednesday, December 25, 2013. After much wishing I had some hardy tools. I made some hardy tools. These tools fit in the square hole in an anvil. Hole sizes are nonstandard, so its often worthwhile to make your own. Smiths typically make their own tools anyway. Wednesday, December 18, 2013. Device For Converting Motion".

Sunday, April 28, 2013. Huge Kite (10.9 M 2 Nasa Para Wing). Muffin and Me just finished sewing up our enormous kite. Its a scaled up version of the one. He had made before. Last Summer, I hastily cut a tricopter frame from carbon fiber foam laminate. The stock Id found wasnt large enough to make the whole thing, so I attached the arms with 4-40 nylon cap screws. Wednesday, April 10, 2013. I cut out some roof panels for the yurt after doing some (very) approximate trig. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wednesday, May 15, 2013. I took one of the big project classes in Course II (mechE) this semester, 2.007. 2.007 is Design and Manufacturing I. The class is interesting because it attempts to teach you how to design and build mechanical things, in a semester. In which students build robots to compete. In various tasks requiring clever mechanisms, dexterity, and programming skill. The other sections offered in SP2013 were underwater robotics (led by Ed Moriarty and TAd by djwise.

Saturday, November 30, 2013. Summer at Sandhill Farm, Rutledge MO. This post has been a long time coming. Guess Ive got some phase lag to deal with.
