Back In Business

Well I finally got my machine running again which means more posts every Sunday for now on. Sorry to all for taking so long but I plan on making up for it. I've upgraded from mere threaded rod to stainless steel. I should have much better accuracy thanks to my cousin Matt and for under $100; Not too shabby. I should have some fun projects coming up including another go at box joints.
In the meantime, I've found a fun new resource, this time for machine designs that might as well be art. I was checking out The Steampunk Workshop which has some interesting stuff from a time when technology worked with a bit more style and sophistication. Thats when I noticed this. A site with tons of interesting mechanical devices some of which are accompanied by cad files (SolidWorks?) for creating your own. I just need to covert them to something I can use with CamBam and you'll see it here whether it works or not. Plan to make your own? Post a comment, I'd love to see it and so would plenty of others.
I'm back and I'll see you Sunday with a last minute and ill conceived plan to make something interesting and completely useless.
