Tell me you're Dutch, without telling me you're Dutch...
What's the point of information classification on documents if it's completely ignored.
This is a public conference. Why are slides classified as confidential and proprietary?
Spinning wheel of death...
This cuts a very fine 2mm wide groove. There's a ball bearing underneath to control depth of cut.
Then we bring it all together.
The router table is from KM tools. The wooden box is what I've been making this weekend. It's attached to a plank via some aluminium angle and 4 bolts. The bolts go all the way through the router table and into holes in the plywood box. Securing it in place.
The plank they are bolted to in turn has 3d printed brackets for attaching to the top of a Makita Makpac box. So I can carry everything as one stack.
Phew. Now time to clean up and go find a bus.
Ok? But what's the box for ?
It's for my router...
I need to fit out the inside with something to stop stuff moving around. As well as space for various router bits.
Yesterday I sealed the box together as one piece with no opening. Today once the router table worked I used a cutting disk to cut most of the way through 2 sides of the box. And all the way through two. Then just a quick touch with a hand saw parts kid from base. I'll need to fettle the fit a bit when I get home. But it's good enough for now. I'll also fit the hinges when I'm home.
Mildly miffed this corner got damaged during glue up. But still plenty pleased with the assembly.
Housemate: can you draw a network diagram so we can better organise the network?
Me: sure <Draws>
Housemate: topologically accurate... But unhelpful...
The diagram:
I have this pair of really useful bit sets from Bosch. They both come in almost identical boxes (one is grey, one green). Annoyingly tho. Bosch provides no easy way to search for other things they sell in the same form factor. Cos if I had 4 of these. I'd make a nice wooden box for them on the tool shelf...
Making a thing.
Or rather part of a thing. I have a load of Makita makpac tool boxes I was given, and wanted a way to clamp non Makita items to the top. Thanks to a design on thingiverse, 3d printed for me by a friend, and a few minutes on a router table, I have a useful thingy!
And yes I did set the depth wrong on the first cut... Oops.
I like big bits and I cannot lie...
(I found the 14mm drill bits. They were in the big tool box).
