Scratch Build – In Progress Metaversa 02: Ada

That's neat and everything, but when your interest in Ada wanes we all suffer.

 

I'd almost forgotten this existed, come on Nexxo more updates needed

 

Put the bees down and do some building. Maybe that's why all the bees are dying- your lot are too touchy-feely.

 

Well, it's just been very, very, very busy with work. It's been a difficult time. Our head of service died suddenly and unexpectedly in March, and being the next in the chain of command, so to speak, I've had to step up and deal with a lot of stuff. A colleague and I are now heads of service (neither of us wanted the whole job on our own, which gives you an idea of how big it is) --no handover, just hit the ground running-- and I haven't had a spare moment since. It's been mad.

But now the honey has been jarred and the bees have been fed (they just need some pest treatment now) I've actually had some time to work on Ada today. Pictures to follow soon.

 

-literally.
Sorry to hear about that, even if you did sort of get a promotion, it's not how you should get one.

None of that will keep Mankz from slipping out of the shadows to bump you, though.

 

Today is Ada Lovelace day, ergo I'd love an update!

 

So do I... Perhaps this coming weekend.

 

Awesome, can't wait for more!

 

Officially the weekend here. Post!

 

Looks like Nexxo has modders block

 

Nope, today I was keeping a longstanding appointment:



Warwick model engineering show 2015.

Got a good rotary table and chuck, which will allow me to add a bit more awesome to this mod. Also got some metric aluminium which was necessary for the next stage. Stuff will happen soon.

 

Oh my, this is awesome !

 

It was. Lots of steam. Lots of tools. Steam engines big enough to ride on. Steam locomotives as small as your lower arm running on real steam. A Stirling engine driving a Tesla coil (because Tesla coil!). Complex brass clocks. Clock making tools from the Victorian age. 1960's restored mills that are six foot tall and lathes that fill a workbench.

At some point they were test-running home-made model jet turbine engines no bigger than a 500gr. tin can, which reach 165000 RPM, belt out 800°C superheated air and have 7bhp performance. It's all great fun.

 

Looks like great fun for us kids

 

I'm trying to picture you lugging a rotary table around a convention hall.

-Ah, You just kneecapped someone and it ripped through the bottom of your grocery store bag.

Anyway, it's still the weekend, and you are here, so...

 

Rotary table then yaaaaaa? does it angle as well, are yeee doing a mini log then?

 

Indeed it does:





Meshing worm drive (you can decouple the turning wheel and disk to reposition it at any degree), 1/10th degree scale, tilt axis, accompanying 100mm chuck. Chunky bit of kit. I think I'll get the matching tailstock soon.

 

Nice, Another toy to play with yaaaaa lol
