man, that's really nice. I'd love a full size version of that exact setup :)
sometimes it's the little things in life
:D
a little something from work last week
burned up
made the bobbin and hand wound it perfectly
fully reassembled
and it works!
Sir,
what am I watching?
Respectfully submitted,

im not real sure to be honest with you. it's some kind of mechanism for i have no idea what. but it came in with a burned up coil and i took it apart, cleaned it up, and made a new coil from scratch and now it works as if it were brand new
Well, now I'm really intrigued! It's a mystery!
well im all kinds of wtf. just got my January and March Hot VW's issues. i got February like 3 weeks ago.
:shock:
You've got to really be committed to that style.
Todays temperatures were springlike - close to 20°C (68°F) and most of the snow is melted away.
Whereas last Sunday we had almost 20°C below zero (-4°F) and quite a bit of snow.
Wow, that looks gorgeous! We've been cold and wet for months, not much in the way of pretty, just infuriatingly soggy outside life.
This was our snow. Got this as a long exposure on my phone while walking the dog:
custom popsockets 8-)
the start of a new project was delivered today.
That's going to make a very neat car. How do you trim the plastic at the bottom of the mold and end up with smooth, clean edges?
x-acto knife, lexan scissors, a dremel with sanding drum, a sanding block, and a little bit of patients. it'll probably take me an hour to cut it out. but im going to custom make a chassis and make an RC drag car out of it :twisted:
started getting the general idea of what im doing today. used another chassis and some of the parts ill be using to do a half assed mock up.
We're still doing our big push to sell the house. Currently, my job is to make my basement shop just how I would like it so we can pass it on to someone else. Currently boxing the ductwork and wire/cabling. The duct above the bench actually has an 8" and two 10" ducts in it. If anyone starts pulling it apart, they risk some sort of explosion from being packed so tightly.
Hey, that looks great!

why you selling the house?

Lol, "Your thermostat is gone.... and then some! (and then some!)
The challenge right now is balancing "Not nice enough" with "too expensive/time consuming". Also,we're still dealing with mostly rain so I'm just trying to push through as much of the basement stuff as I can before the weather gets better, at which time I'll go outside and work on the remaining trim and deck improvements that are needed out there.

My wife really, really wants to move towards the coast and near her family so we're currently looking at Virginia, where they live. We've lived here around my family for the last two decades and she really doesn't like the isolation here so it's time for a new place to hang out.
huh, iv got family in Virginia. can't remember exactly what citys/towns(?) but close to JMU.

We're looking all the way southeast North of Nofuck (Williamsburg / Mathews / Glaucester). Coast stuff, still got trail/woods stuff and my wife can visit a store every once in a while that's not a Wal-Mart. It's a win-win :)
vague idea on where Willaimsburg is. think we went through there on our way to Virginia Beach...
just spent 30 minutes messing with a cheap exercise bike. need to change the seat but it's got a weird size seat post. 1 3/8" :roll: this is going to require some additional research...
All my exercise stuff I've had over the decades is not only cheap but used so I've often had to get creative in repairs/modification. It's like my homage to Russian ingenuity in keeping their vehicles alive.
