Good evening, I've just returned from a week in St Ives Cornwall, in which my wife, daughter and I had laugh wasting a few quid on a penny pusher machine on the arcade on the sea front. I fancy having a bit of fun and trying to build one as it would be a great entertainer and with a "house pot" built into these things, it'll also be a novel way of saving. The machine I intend to make will be more or less full size with plenty of feature creep going into it along the way. I'm off for 4 weeks so that is the timescale I'll have although we have a few caravan breaks along the way. Not your usual engine, machine tool or invention....but I think it passes for an acceptable madmodder thread? |

Got given a Ford Fiesta wiper motor today just after Dave had kindly offered me a 12v motor over on the windscreen wiper thread I started in the electronics sub forum. Cheers Dave, much appreciated for the effort and gesture :beer: Being impatient, I went to maplin and spent £15 on a Pwm controller instead of £8 on eBay. Problem is, I get a bad squealing with the Pwm controller! I'm not a motor man so would appreciate any thoughts. I very rarely speak on my videos, must have felt chatty this evening...!!! Hopefully buy some wood and start a plan for the push table tomorrow. |

We live 6 miles north of Hastings, and the sea front there is crammed with them - gets quite tedious as you can't drag her away. I try to avoid, but the grandchildren seem to form a good excuse for trips ! |
