I want to hear how the story ended, when the person who wanted letters 10x smaller than what they got saw those godzillas roll up.

This is ridiculous and I support you in this.

Then they'd still be fulfilling their purpose!

Those look really nice.

I'd need more than 50 tiles. That'll take a while.

I hope you do. I have a shop smith and would like to see your version.

I've been thinking about inflatables for a bit, but I see you are well ahead of the game. How hard would it be to transfer standard stuffed animal sewing patterns into inflatables? Do they translate 1-1, or would modifications need to be made? For instance, teddy bear patterns.

Your sine wave idea is quite clever.

I kept it in a dark pantry, yes.

I don't understand how the balloon works in this. How does it provide a smooth surface when we see it bulging between he wooden ribs?

I hope you didn't include your real token and wifi password here.

How are you attaching the metal lid to the can? I think you'll need something more contiguous than a loose friction fit to be effective.Also, how are you grounding the can to earth?Have you tested this in any fashion?

It seems like you could cut out quite a bit of the process (tools, steps, materials) if you could brace directly against the table. Do you think you could route channels in a block of wood that would fit the pattern on the underside, and friction fit it in?

I'd hesitate to say you were saving money, Dan.The cost of the energy to melt the cans will be far greater than the value of the aluminum you recycle. This is a very inefficient process for recycling- suitable for hobbyist but not for any large effort.The money saving measure would be to sell the cans to the recycling centre, and then use that money to buy the ingots.

I think you need a lot more detail on your pump, adaptors, nozzles, and how you connected them all.

How much wood do you start with, and how much charcoal do you end up with?

I think the plug looks very weak compared to the weight and forces that might be involved. I think that maybe it might be stronger if you cut a wooden plug that fits flush with the hole, and then use a strong cloth tape to hold it in place. You might even cut a thin rubber gasket that would be wider than the hole to go on the inside, so that nothing could be forced out.This would keep the weight of the ball from crushing the plastic cap if rolled or shifted on to it, or prevent you from getting a comfortable grip if the plastic cap is being pressed into your flesh.

What is the reaction time of the system? How fast does it deploy the anti-fall arm?It also seems like since the servo is directly connected to the arm, that any forces placed upon it will be transmitted back to the servo, which might damage it.

But there are so many losses in generation - > storage -> usage that it is probably far, far more efficient to use the rotation directly. I'd say have a second person use the drill for anything precise.

Since you have already added a micro controller, why not add a few sensors? This could alert her that she is about to bump into something before she does. You could add some IR emitters and receptors that would detect something within an inch or two, and give her an audible or visual alert, or cut off the motor if moving the mount would cause it to bump into something else.

Sounds like you are ready to explore a hex editor. You should try that next.

Do you really get enough hydrogen to help the metal up at all, let alone melt it?

Needs more steps and explanation.

Have you seen the King of Random's version? He has some decent additions.Your reference link is broken, fyi.

A guy on the internet has strong feelings about your recipe:https://www.reddit.com/r/grilledcheese/comments/2or1p3/you_people_make_me_sick/

With a moderate amount of processing, you could get arbitrary maps by using the data from here:http://terrain.partyThe scale would have to be adjusted, but it appears to have excellent coverage of a lot of the world.

I think if you made the back a pivot instead of a fixed support in a slot, you could convert it from a chair to a more conventional turtle form.If the turtle shell was to be held in place with the pivot as well, then you could drape them over the rounded portion of the frame to make it look more like a turtle shell too.

Why not a piece of foam core mounting board? It should be lighter, cheaper and easier to work with than plywood.Also, I think the acid from the plywood will have a negative effect on the poster over time.

Your final picture is a stock image. Why don't you show us what the result looked like?

You've got the right idea, but you probably want to use bigger numbers. Perhaps you could use a d10, or even a d20? That might push it out of the realm of a human being able to crack it by hand.

My 2 watt laser can't really cut wood, or even cardboard very well, so I had to make a very flimsy box.

How long did it take to engrave?

Does your girlfriend like my tub?

Only one long weekend. Some aspects may have been exaggerated for comedic effect. Also for comedic effect, I won't say which aspects.
