Yesterday I was mainly making bookshelves

Because as we all know, the correct number of bookshelves is N+1, where N is your current number of bookshelves.

Made myself a little reminder of what’s going on down at my allotment. #allotment #making #photosynthesis #3dPrinting

Some work in progress. Demolding and polishing some concrete lamp shades.

Got the roof of my wood store on. Despite my construction ethos not being encumbered by old fashioned concepts like ‘square’ and ‘straight’ I still managed to get it all to fit. I think it looks pretty smart. Next stage is the flooring. I’ve got some reclaimed flagstones for that but it will have to wait for my back to get completely better. #allotment #making #WoodStore

Today in the metal machine shop I was using a little used alloy called B E E C H... It's kinda similar to the O A K family of alloys...

Not very easy to see but the frame for the roof of my wood store is done. Just need to get it up there and fixed on, but my aging back says that can wait till tomorrow. #allotment #making

Phase 2 of the wood store complete. It’s looking a bit like a temple at the moment. I was hoping to get the roof on today but last night I fucked my back up. And how did I do this? I bent down to push a button on my dehumidifier. I like getting old, I think I’m a much nicer person than I was 20 years ago, and I know myself much better - but the physical decline that comes with old age is shit. What I wouldn’t give for my 18 year old body with my 60 year old self. #allotment #making #GettingOld

I wrote a blog post about building a small portable apartment scale workbench. Might be of interest to people here.

#HEAVY #METAL
#building #fabrication #making like crazy!!!!
I got to design the fabrication sheets and part of the strategy for the shops to build both these mount points, 4 each on the deck above, and structural racks built from HSS to be supported bt these. They hold Fan Coil units for cooling and heating a hospital. :)
The people making and installing these are amazing!!!

Wood store down at the allotment is coming along nicely #allotment #making

"but I need a car for getting wood from the timber yard..."

Yeah about that.

Did a round trip to the wood merchants. They didn't really have stock the right size for what I need. So I'm gonna need to do some work resawing and planing things to get what I need. But it should work. And yes. If course I took the bike trailer.

Komende vrijdag is in Groningen voor de derde keer de Maker Meetup aan boord van Serendiep.

De opzet is simpel: Heb je iets tofs gemaakt wat je wilt laten zien, een nieuw idee of half-af project waar je feedback of hulp bij zoekt, een epische mislukking die je wilt delen? Vanaf 20:00 staat het podium open voor korte presentaties en demonstraties. Vooraf stoken we de pizza-oven op.

Laat ons graag even weten of je komt via info@kaalstaart.nl

Any other #Bambu #3DPrinter users having issues with new Bambu basic pla filament spools tangling in the first few metres of filament. It's like the filament doesn't unspool properly, and then jams, digging into the rest of the filament on the spool. I've had it happen with several different colours in the last few weeks.

Today was a really good day. I 3d printed some jigs to make this project easier. I did the cuts on the mill. Remade a part on the lathe that I scrapped after getting my centre finding mixed up on the mill. Confirmed my design works using the 3d printed jig. Then used the mill to make some improvements to a previous project (collet chuck). 3d printed a load of parts for a makerspace community project. And started the lathe work on Next Project.

Was a good day.
