I could have already posted the baby's closet but I added the wall decal yesterday.

I can't remember if I posted the closet, but I cut down the doors, rebuilt the bottom because the are hallow core, ikea shelf, added a back so can't crawl through, doors have a lower track and burglar bar for safety. I reused the doors so I puttied them and sanded smooth so a good surface for the decals. the entire inside of the closet is still accessible filled with diapers etc.

What are truck nuts for? If you google search truck nuts, you are going to get a whole bunch of fake testicals hanging from hitches.

I am building a machine that I dreamt up a year ago, kinda top secret still and nobody has built one like this before. Stepper motors for my feeds and once in position and started it should run for 24 hrs virtually unattended until the job is complete.
I really wish I learned how to use draftsight or something first, my ' old school's ways are painstakingly slow!

That looks very interesting. What are you using for a controller?

 

[badvinny]

I had a guy build the controller and program the stepper motors, everything is mounted in a waterproof Pelican box, 20 feet of cabling. I don't have the skills to do the electrical drives part. It's ready for me to pickup the electrical and fit it all on now, except as usual I am behind! Soon, very soon, lol, I am really behind on this project basically because I only get to work on it when I am not too busy which isn't very often!

Did some work today. New job makes it tough to get anything done during the week, but not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Was going back and ended up reading the article, could not agree more my man. I am personally an outlier, i'm 25 and studied computer science in college but 95% of my friends are technologically challenged.
