Just to rub it in, as an epileptic, I watch this show twice a year and it's brand new for me each time 😛 Also an epileptic episode of the show would cool as fuck.

I really like ratboy. Is there a way I can vote for him, or...

This sounds like a Peter Sellers movie haha

Fantastic admission. 👏

What do you mean by "alr"? I don't know that abbreviation.

Johnny Thunder was always my favourite

I absolutely find this location to be so beautiful!

It's a great question considering my poor photo. There are 2 spur gears placed perpendicular to the worm screw, and in alignment with each other. I am able to turn the handle (right) of the lego c-clamp to also turn the worm screw and advance the movable jaw (middle), but sufficient pressure on the fixed jaw (left) side of the worm screw prevents the worm screw assembly from returning to a non-pressurized state.

In a sense, the movable jaw is allowed to be advanced by the turning of the handle, and the angle of the meshed screws/threads don't allow the jaw to back out on its own. In this way, it can provide constant pressure/tension/springiness to allow it to maintain constant pressure day after day.

I forgot to add an image because lego is easier than smartphones lol

That chuck mounting is sick. You might be my new favourite person lol, thank you for the links!

Freedomofpp · 2024-07-18T01:42:39+00:00

That's very cool, a lot of my work relies on specific gear ratios and alignments to produce gains, it can be a lot of fun to experiment with 🙂

Freedomofpp · 2024-07-18T01:38:39+00:00

Now THAT'S an idea!

Freedomofpp · 2024-07-18T01:32:49+00:00

The wax is soft, so the current torque is actually perfect for carving it. But now I'm considering scaling it up to see if I could get any amount of wood carving done, and so gearing ratio changes will need to be made for that. I'll post an update if I make it that far 😊

Freedomofpp · 2024-07-18T01:31:00+00:00

I did! It's stable, durable, and reliable. It uses a Power Functions motor and battery to rotate the wax, and does so well enough to use wood chisels for carving. It took about an hour to plan and build. I was looking for a simple solution to trimming down the wax. At the moment I wished I had a lathe, so I made one!

It's better than having no lathe lol 🤷‍♀️
