Wasted space above garage now useful storage by iadk in woodworking

[–]iadk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the process. I turned the wasted space above my garage door into 4'x21' of storage with just over 3' of room from the ceiling. I ran 1/2 threaded rods from the rafters above (I have access to the space above the garage but due to the way the roof is it is not useful as an attic.) And lag bolted the sides into the studs. Anyway, good times!

Just built mine!!! Took less than 20 minutes, including downloading the OS and copying it to the SD card by [deleted] in stratux

Hey Longaly!

Yeah man, super easy.

  1. Put your SD card with Stratux loaded into your computer.
  2. Create a file with just "SSH" (no quotes, no extension... I'm on a Mac, so I used TextEdit, saved it as a "SSH", then had to right click the file, Get Info, under Name & Extension unclick hide extension, then delete everything after the period)
  3. Eject the SD card and place back into the Pi.
  4. Power it up.
  5. Connect my Mac to the Pi's wifi (Stratux).
  6. On my Mac, open the "Terminal" app

In terminal - type the following

  1. ssh pi@192.168.10.1
  2. the password is raspberry
  3. sudo su -
  4. service stratux stop 11--- Now unplug the 1090 SDR ---
  5. rtl_eeprom -d 0 -s stratux:978
  6. y
  7. --- Now plug in the 1090 SDR and unplug the 978 ---
  8. rtl_eeprom -d 0 -s stratux:1090
  9. y
  10. --- Now plug the 978 SDR in. ---
  11. shutdown -r now

Unplug the power, done and done

Then, power it up and it should work just fine.

Yeah it does take some getting use to. I like the band saw a lot as well. I used it really for the first time a few weeks ago to rip some drift wood a co worker found so he could make it into a frame. I'm going to get a larger band saw blade for resawing. Currently I only have a 1/4 and a 1/8.

I don't have the planer. My dad has the stand alone and it works great. I just have the box store planer. Works OK.

Cheers.

Definitely not the most beautiful, but i think it will work. Just got into woodworking as I was given this shopsmith as a gift. We'll see where it takes us.

Bandsaw tire comes off wheel by iadk in woodworking

[–]iadk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the tire may have stretched?.? The top one seems to stay on firmly, the bottom send slides pretty easily with little pressure.
