Project wrTie: Intro to my mechanical pencil build
(1/2) > >>
thecogwheel:
I thought I would introduce my newest project (with my first post), a titanium mechanical pencil:



I use a mechanical pencil everyday and I thought it would be interesting to document a build using video.  I'm hoping it will be an educational video series, I will certainly be learning a lot and I hope others will be able to learn a few things from what I learn.  It will be a full build, from start to finish.  Currently I only have a few sketches for the mechanism.  I'll be designing it in Autodesk's Fusion and I will release the CAD as I go.  Once I get going I'll post the link for the CAD here, and on my blog as well.

I'll try to keep this thread updated as well once I get going.

It took me a lot longer than I was planning to get at this project for a number of reasons (including a fully unplanned dragging of a Schaublin 102 and a 6" surface grinder home), but here is, finally, episode 1:



Episode 2 will be posted much quicker!

Edit:  Here is the direct link as well just in case the video doesn't directly show up in the forum.

Very cool. I will watch the video when I have a bit more time!

Grrrrrrr  :doh: :doh: Firefox said I needed to update Adobe Flash Player. Did that and now cannot see the Video. BUT if I use I-Explorer, yep I can. Shut down and re-open  F/Fox and still no go. Ah, Well.
Sigh!
Anyway, looks like you have an interesting - fiddly project to keep you and us amused.

Edit: Well here it is about an hour later and on my desktop PC that also uses F/Fox and all is working fine.  Laptop was the previous machine whilst sitting in the recliner rocker. Blankety Blank computers.

I'm not getting the movie, just a big empty space!

If I right click in that empty space I get a window that says 'movie not loaded'.  The same thing happens on Doc's thread.
