The animation link is kaput
Bandwidth maxed out
Thanks for the headsup. I think I forgot to upload that when I switched servers, so I'll see what I can do to fix it.
Way beyond cool. One of the best machining projects I've yet come across. Extremely well documented, beautiful design, well made, and of course: I want one!
Congratulations Clint, I hope we'll read a lot more about you and your exploits as time goes on.
Thank you! That is very nice of you to say. I am flattered!
Great job Clint -- very impressive for a senior undergraduate project! I like the digital interface you're building. I assume you're majoring in Mechanical Engineering?
Thanks! Yes, I am an ME at Cal Poly, SLO. I'm a graduate student working on my masters now. I liked the torture of college so much, I decided to hang around for another year or two for more.
I'm reposting the links to the videos... If this is a hardship on your bandwidth provider, please let me know and I'll delete them.
No problem! I pay for my hosting/bandwidth, but it's a flat fee and I haven't come close to maxing it out yet.
Excellent work. Us up at the hangar never got to see the thing in its final state. Or at least I didnt.
Thanks Nick! I'm not surprised that you haven't seen it, since it's only been to campus twice as a complete assembly. I never took it to the hanger complete. It's a bit difficult to transport, as you can imagine. Thanks for all your help up there getting me familiar with the machines. Just don't let anyone here know how much of an amatuer I really am! We certainly don't want them to know about my first day... haha. Or were you there for that?
I particularly like the way he documented this from beginning to this point where he is currently at. There is a lot of information contained in this project and a lot that many can draw from.
I can't help myself; I am addicted to taking pictures. It's too cool when people can talk to me about my projects with pictures in front of them. There's just no way to explain it all in writing.
UPDATE
I have started using this machine and it's really cool to use. It just doesn't get any simpler than dialing in an angle and pulling a lever - even a stooge like myself can operate it! I am making my first project - a bumper for the front of my Toyota.
It's nice to know I can make something useful with this thing - even if it does look a bit like a football helmet so far!
I am really going to miss having all the machinery at my disposal at school.
