New electrical service, finally at 200A 240VAC instead of 100A (yes, that would be a 80’s residential connection on a commercial building):
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nTim’s been rocking the art metal, if you’re interested we’ve usually got creations for sale at the shop!
\n\"\"<\/a>

\nPPPRS Car<\/a> is underway, picked up some crappy batteries that we’re attempting to bring back from the dead (anybody want to sponsor some deep-cycle lead acids?):
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWent to an undisclosed location in Wisconsin that happens to be the world repository for 36V electric motors, coming away with a trunk load of motors and a couple of controllers that will be perfect for the car – wheelie capable motor (check):
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nRepRap \/ Makerbot plastic finally getting organized, still requires a lot of manual spooling\/respooling\/poking:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nMore electric helicopters showing up, I think we’re up to at least 6:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nRain barrel collection is growing, need to get them outside and under the single warehouse downspout:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nStanding desk in the incubator:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nLots of machining on a joint project to assemble some dive lights [damn machinists and their compulsive organization o:-) ]:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOf course we needed a depth testing system, so a whole-house water filter with a clear housing was put into action with the air compressor. Device under test is a cheap key\/wallet holder from an amusement park, easily staying watertight to 140+feet):
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nUnfortunately the cool looking machined aluminum housing didn’t fair so well:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nT-shirts were ordered and printed by The Jabberwocky Superfly Group<\/a> and came out looking great:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nCouple of new toys this month, picked up a 20 ton press on sale from HFT:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOf course we needed to test things out, it’s very capable of destroying Dell mini-ATX computers (this one being beyond salvage already):
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOur dead router needed a little extra punishment, yes, that would be an early 90’s Allied Telesyn 10\/100 switch:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd a new lathe\/mill from Craigslist (Thanks Jim!), which looks like a monster next to the South Bend:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe inaugural chip was thrown seconds after the power was hooked up, it cuts very nicely:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nLastly, cutting a few last minute parts for a low-cost prosthetic hand being designed by a UW student prior to leaving town for the summer!
