Groovy Tool

[Fredo]

In my thread Wave Grooves, I was asked if I could show how the grooves are made. The grooves are made with a cobbled together contraption constructed from old lathe parts and bits and pieces I had on hand and could adapt to get the job done. It's somewhat agricultural in it's appearance and despite little to no expense involved in it's construction, it works reasonably well. Powered by a car windscreen wiper motor, here it is.

your a clever man fredo! :2tsup: sometimes i wish i could just knock together these 'agricutural' impliments:;

[cookie48]

That is just the best. Thankyou Fredo. If only I could think like that.

Fredo simply brilliant set up.

A simple change of the guide wheel dia and it will change the amplitude or I think I see other adjustments on the actutation arm.

Off to look at Groovey Bowls thread.

I'm officially in awe, that's just amazing and very ingenious. I'd now like to know what the accompanying music is! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant Fredo :2tsup::2tsup: Great job of the video too . . . but now you've given me an idea of a simpler way of doing it . . . off to the notepad :think:

[hughie]

Brilliant, I love it, so simple and effective.... and the music is just as good :2tsup:

[Willy Nelson]

Yep, I am impressed!
Thanks for showing, but, rest easy in the fact that I will not be rigging up a groovy wavy maker. I am happy to view your results though
Cheers and Thanks

Bravo, ingenious ! :2tsup:
It would be interesting to see how you would approach a spiral.

I am impressed to come up with an invention like this one. It would have taken a few weekends to make this sort of machinerie. Ingenious, absolutely wonderful, brilliant, b...... marvelous, ingenious etc, etc, they are just a few words how to describe your invention. And than there is the music to go with your demo.

Many thanks,

Joevan.

Thanks everyone for your interest and comments. It was fun to make and use. It adds another option for decoration.

No relation to Heath Robinson, that I know of.

The music is an instrumental cover of Pearl Jam's, Yellow Ledbetter.
