Yes.
Seriously, it is pouring rain here. I was supposed to be camping this weekend. Tried fixing my water softener instead. Got the part sent a few months back (October!) but never got around to installing it. Got it installed today - and the water softener still doesn't work. Off to Home Depot for another water softener. Even though it was a different brand (Rheem vs old Whirlpool, all the parts (except the outer shell) were EXACTLY the same. I even re-used the old water bypass valve and connections rather than replacing everything and potentially causing leaks.

The most important thing is to turn away after you've placed the pot over the flame because, remember, the watched pot never boils... 😉

I made this combo amp, using an Epiphone Valve Junior amp, and a Celestion Greenback speaker. I used one 4x8 sheet of 3/4" Birch plywood. I machined 12 individual pieces, and stacked them up to make a solid cabinet. It weighs 65 pounds all together.
The round speaker box on the right I made years ago, using the same method, but I routed out 24 rings with a hand held router using a circle cutting jig I had machined at work. Then I made jigs to drill holes in each rings. Then I pinned and glued together one ring to the next until I had two half cirlces. Then I literally made a wood lathe using a huge mold polishing mandrel at work. I made fixturing to hold the two halves to machine both the inside and outside diameters. I used the forks of our forklift as a steady rest for my tools. It was risky and I got hit by the handle of my tool, in the stomach, and lifted off the floor one time. I pinned and glued the two halves together, and finish sanded on my lathe. It is 18" in outside diameter, with a 1" wall thickness.
I guess the what it comes down to is, I make my own toys to play with, and sometimes I make toys to help me make the toys.
Wow. Just flippin' wow...
Ok, apart from your Slingshot, show me your BEST toys.
I'll start y'all off with my little toy telescope. This is an Apomax. It's stands over 9 ft tall, weighs 300 lbs, and if you want to watch a dust storm moving across the face of Mars or see an eclipse happening on Jupiter, it's absolutely world class.
We have plans to put up a dome this summer so we can give it a permanent home.
Anyone interested in a Star Party at Doc's place this summer?
Have you thought about getting an adapter to take pictures?
