Heh, Simon, I just meant write here about what you do by way of making things, and don't worry about the consequences or perceptions. The interesting part for all of us is that people make things, and particularly out of the ordinary things, with their own zeal for it. Who cares what the reasons are! And identity is nothing that can be taken away. Creativity is the evidence of an identity. No need for explanation or apology for making something unusual. This mad modder forum is exactly for that kind of expression. We don't have a high tolerance level for web cruising critics here. :whip: |

I know you're busy Andrew, but if you ever did get around to making one 5/16-18, I'll twist off a store-bought one from my lathe and put on an honorary genuine Mawson nut! No jokes, please, I already get it! Actually that would be a cool idea for a Mod-up -- anybody out there who wants to tackle a 5/16-18 brass acorn nut CNC or hand-turned can do that, and it will find a place on the lathe. Just open a thread and post some photos of your project in the Mod-Up section of this forum. Should be an interesting exercise in creativity and methods -- an acorn nut has a ball end, hex section and deep blind thread. Not so simple. I'd be happy to have MM nuts on my lathe. And no jokes about that! |

I often refer to my urges as "I suffer from the need to make things" not that I really feel like its suffering, or restrict myself much on what to make ;-) Making is a zen thing for me; I'm almost dead to the world focused on today's thing. The earmuffs don't help that one either. My 3D printer ran out the Devo energy dome, and a yellow jumpsuit was sacrificed. My daughter suggested a costume fan. OMG was it nice in that plastic suit! The fact that I looked Michelin-esque was a bit of a drawback... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk |
