What did you do today?
- Thread starter craigbru
- Start date
Set up a set of Microlab Solo 7C in my office, and actually spent time in the office today after work. Woo!
Finally split the motor casing on my bike, so that's going to be fun. Planning on a bearing replacement and adjusting the neutral detent in the shifter.
PC wise, I confirmed my GTX 750ti LP is dead as as a doorknob. Long live the GTX 750ti. I have an EVGA SC edition installed now, but it it's all running on an old ATX PSU hitched to #77 since the HD Plex brick is dead too. Once the bike project is done, I will put money back into getting the computer looking proper. I did order more fittings too.
After that, Radian gets another look.
I try to check in about every other day here, school is going well but it takes focus lol.

Took a personal day today... and spent much of it in front of a screen of some kind. I did manage to get some other work done and started looking into Blender 2.8 but this is too much. Going to the Auto Show with a buddy of mine their friends. Such be interesting, for this part of the world at least. ROW gets most of the good stuff anyway.
Got in some early prototypes of a tool I came up with. The one end is for truing brake rotors on bicycles, the other end is for spreading brake pads. There's already a bunch of these tools on the market, but few that are oriented towards mobile mechanics. I like my design better than any of them.

That's really cool! The bottom one looks especially clean.Got in some early prototypes of a tool I came up with.

Thank you @Biowarejak . I'm a carpenter, but I like working with metal when I can. The handmade one was tedious, especially getting the slot the correct width (2.1mm) so my buddy offered to cut them. If the price is fair to laser cut then I may market them.
Saw that Logitech is re releasing the MX518 in the US finally...
I have my OG 518 on the kid's PC. Still going strong.. check out this order date. So many builds, frags, pizzas, beers, Mountain Dews, LANs...(holy hell feeling old)

I got bit by the 3d printer bug after trying out a 3d printer on a local fablab..
i want to design one now, of course
edit: why I have the most expensive tastes

I live in a rural area, no maker spaces or fablabs here, wish there was.
Today, I handed my resignation letter in
Good luck on the next chapter!
Looking forward to this. (G600 looks on jealously) <_<Saw that Logitech is re releasing the MX518 in the US finally...

Kept working on my new desk- this is one of the legs:
Those in my Discord have had progress updates as it goes on - some progress pics in the Insta too

As a professional finish carpenter...I'll reserve my critical eye.
“Drywall hides all”. ... Former framer here.
The finish guys did let me do baseboards and shoe molding at least!
@confusis —looks good! Can’t wait to see it all together.

It's meant to look rustic/aged/reclaimed
As a non professional that hasn't worked with wood in years, I'm pretty happy
First coat of varnish. The oak veneer's grain comes up strong!
