Yoshii-san, thank you for your latest creative works.

Dumb questions - for 3D printed parts would the difference in inner surface smoothness vs PVC pipe make any great difference? Or for short enough lengths would it not really matter much. I guess it...

Hi Yoshii-san,

今年の夏は暑過ぎると聞いた。(I heard that this summer was too hot).

Thanks for posting the boing boing world.

My children enjoyed it (and some of the previous work) too. I have been...

This thread has compost its used by date.

Nice. I handled quite a bit of Tasmanian firewood as a child and I don't ever remember it looking as good as that.

I've also got some fine looking timber from Jason, and I've been too timid to use...

Activity at the Goon's shed? I thought they were out of wood?

Hi Alex,



That is some nice work Alex. The flexibility is great, but using the same angles really it steps up a level I would say.

Thanks for sharing!

Iain

This. Definitely this. I cannot emphasize how strongly I agree with this! :iagree:

The Lightning connector on my iPhone gave up, meaning I could no longer charge it. I was able to restore almost...

G'day Ray,

I can only talk generally about this, as I'm not an IT operations person...



Generally they are separate fixes. Sometimes you get updates with names like "Cumulative update for...

Yeah. I was a bit bemused when I thought about needing to catch a train on the Carlingford line. The last two years at Homebush I caught the train and walked from Concord West, cause I was coming...

Yeah, GIMP can be like that sometimes.


If you are on Windows, another program that claims to work, and shouldn't be full of nasty stuff is Inkscape. I've used it before, but not for EPS files.

G'day Brett,

groeneaj summed it up for me as well - a nice result.
I'm quite partial to blackwood, being Tasmanian and living up on the slightly far north-west coast for a while.

No problem. Iain

The chisels are "Fujihiro" (二治弘). A search on the Internet found a few people selling them around in Japan (and japan-tool as well). I've seen two different claims to who exactly is the blacksmith...

No problem Ray.

Having gained so much information from the woodworkers, builders, electricians, etc over the last year I've been actively on here, it was nice to be able to contribute something...

Definitely this. As somebody who does know what he is doing (I'm a software developer - sorry I couldn't find the stuck up himself smarty-pants smiley) I'd leave them alone too. They are generally...

Nice. Luckily even when I was driving up there once we never ended up with that kind of event.

The few times we were in snowy regions of Japan we had special snow tires, but I doubt that they...

That's the Crown Pass road? I came down that on my bike one time. I can quite imagine it happening - never been much of a fan of switchbacks - and we were carrying extra weight too. Although I think...

Sir Stinkalot beat me to it and looks to have used AutoCAD directly, but for what it is worth the slots in the DXF files were 6mm in Fusion 360 after importing them.

I must admit when I first saw one in Ishitani's videos exposed blade caught my eye too.

I think this might be a commercial made variant of a table saw, but perhaps particular to Japan. And...

Thanks for the reply Stewie. I had a feeling that might be the case - I best practice my planing technique.

Hi,

Firstly, nice job on the plane. The results shown above look very crisp.



I've not had the pleasure(?) of using a skewed plane, and I could be talking rubbish here, but I have some dumb...

That's what I thought. They do work in 20 mm, but I needed to add some extra depth to the holes to allow them to hold properly. No big deal.



That was my problem. I think I found...

I have two of the kind in Chrism3's leftmost photo.

What size holes should they really be used in?

They work well for me too, although because I ended up drilling 20 mm holes (didn't have a...

That's pretty nifty.

As a relative newcomer to these sorts of things, I think the take home message for me is about being creative and realizing that the reference surfaces/datums (data?) don't...

Damn. I thought I escaped those when I left Tasmania. I vaguely recall a childhood memory of being at the Cateract Gorge in Lonnie and having one end up in my drink can. Luckily I didn't drink from...

I noticed that too. They certainly don't make it easy to script up either. Anyway, the other day this thread spurred me to go read through Repliconics various 2/3 scale threads, which were posted...

I found some in these:

I read some similar advice before, had a look at mills and end up deciding that if I was going to get a mill I might as well get a decent one (dovetail column, etc). Some time later the estimated...

A few possible reasons I can think of:
1) People want to post the images to multiple places, so this way they only need to upload them once.
2) People who post them to their own blog, by having...

I went for the second time today. It's still worth it to me. I'd be interesting to know what is missing in comparison to the glory years. Is it a lack of variety, or just that everything is smaller....

Nice to see a fountain pen for a change.
I quite like the slightly more subtle, but still clearly blackwood appearance of that pen. I think you might be right about the gold though. Hard to tell by...

Hear hear! I can only agree with all the comments above. I think my picks would be the Gifkin's and Incra positioner.

Thanks Alan and Helen.

The site worked for me too. I found it a bit busy (but that is just a personal aesthetic opinion which you are free to disregard [1]), with a bit of laggy performance when scrolling between sections...

Probably for the best. Getting much more work done now.
