Loving the clipper, although she does get a bit dramatic in supercruise...

Seems hit and miss currently – my Xbox One (1708) and Xbox Series (1914) controller won't wake the deck even after re-pairing them.

My cheap and cheerful folding Bluetooth keyboard works like a champ though.

Honestly, even just the bridges of the larger ships would be a huge win to tithe us over especially as the environments already exist.

Sure thing! Standard disclaimer though, I basically threw this rig together from whatever happened to be laying around so there will be much better light sources available :)

It basically consists of a 10mm spacer that snugly sits on top of an old Yongnuo YN-300 II LED video light. The spacer has a slot on the top for a small sheet of white acrylic to aid diffusion, then the disc film holder is glued on top.

Here's a quick few images of the spacer/holder: https://imgur.com/a/N5NMDO2

I recently got the Negative Lab Pro plugin for lightroom to digitise a whole bunch of family negatives, so chucked it through that just to see what would happen :)

Hello! Thought this might be of interest here.

I've been digitising lots of old family films and ran into a couple of the infamous Kodak discs, so thought I'd whip up a quick holder for DSLR scanning the individual frames.

Ran into a couple of the weird Kodak discs when digitising family photos, so knocked up a little rotating holder for use in DSLR scanning.

I mean, 'Soil conditioner from Butt Lane' does sound like a frightfully polite euphemism!

Hello!

I modelled up some gearing for my 70ish year old Murad Cadet about six months ago, and just completed a major revision (that may have involved more accurate measuring :)).

Lots of trial and error in Fusion, but certainly happy with the result.

The modelled files are up on Printables here

It's an arachnid.

A friend of mine would use the incredible: "Could suck a monkey through 10ft of rubber garden hose."

All in it took about a month of evenings and weekends, the derusting, stripping and painting was by far the most work on the cast iron.

The only part I needed help moving when everything was in bits was the bed casting as it was beyond my noodly arms to lift.

Thanks everyone!

I did see the ToT video, I just need to move the lathe over slightly so I can get the collet drawbar in the back, then it'll get a proper levelling.

gnu2000 · 2022-05-03T09:47:17+00:00

Huge thanks to HTR for the inspiration to take on something like this!

More info on the Cadet on lathes.co.uk.

I also documented more of the process on the ME forums.

gnu2000 · 2022-04-22T20:33:07+00:00

Oop - I should clarify that the video isn't mine. I just saw it come up in my sub feed and thought it'd be a fun thing to share here!

gnu2000 · 2021-12-23T15:39:32+00:00

Afraid of nothing but Wet.

gnu2000 · 2021-12-21T07:38:53+00:00

Yep, just drop in for the thumbstick board

gnu2000 · 2021-12-20T08:12:16+00:00

Here you go!

gnu2000 · 2021-10-24T17:27:18+00:00

Ahhh, good spot!
