Multitasking

Got the garage as clean as it is going to get for now till the garage sale. Still got piles of items for the sale scattered along the walls. Snow blower, washer, commercial lawnmowers, grinder, etc.
Also started bringing in the secret project parts which you can see on the floor behind the R2-CM logo. LOL

T3-M4 in 3D

I see that a few of you are looking at my T3-M4 posts. I do not have any updates for you currently, but T3 is still here hanging out with our other robots. I am looking into a better power supply for him and have made some updates to his head movements. Here is a video some of you might have seen two years ago, it is a 3D rendering of T3 that I made to figure out how to build him. T3 will make a few appearances this year, so keep your eyes peeled!

Table saw jig

Sometimes I wish I could afford a decent table saw, but alas I am stuck with what I have. The miter gauge that came with this saw was small and oh so not accurate, especially with bigger pieces of lumber. So I made this Jig out of scrap wood that can handle the bigger pieces of wood and get perfect 90 degree angles every time. Now to make a matching rip fence......

Jen at the chop saw

This evening, Jen squared up some edges on the special project as this saw is to loud for me to use right now. Soon we will be ready for assembly, but not before I make yet another jig.... lol

Can you tell what is wrong with this picture?

Started making some wagon wheels for a project, nothing fancy, but I thought I would share. :)
Wait a second, how did you drill?.......

Garage cleaned up for now!

Got just enough room to fit the secret project in the garage, but still have a few piles of stuff taking up the corners. This is the year to have a sale and get rid of old stuff we never use anymore. Things like old stereos, heaters, lawnmowers, snow blowers, tools, clothing, office furniture, computer parts, Hotwheels, books, and everything in between.
That way I will have more elbow room when working on projects, and places to put them. :)

60,000 hits!

Even with taking a winter break from Blogging, this site is now over 60,000 hits!
To celebrate we will release some new photos of the secret project some time this week....
Thanks again for viewing and please feel free to comment now that there is no more Captcha needed. :)

Spring cleaning yet again in the workshop

(ATTENTION: No Word Verification needed for comments anymore!!!)

It is that time yet again folks! Time to spring clean the workshop! This year it is pretty bad. The pics below are of an hour into cleaning! Tons of tools piled up everywhere, slowly finding their way back home.
Bigger stuff piled in corners with parts of the TRON room on top. Got to make room for the new project as I am running out of room inside the house for it! Maybe it is time to start using the attic?
