Nice CNC cut end table

Posted on June 19, 2019 by robertwilkie

Nice build, but…you need a full size 8×4 CNC to cut this one out. In other words this is for a pro shop. Or maybe a makerspace

Make a mini pocket pump

Posted on June 15, 2019 by robertwilkie

Nice build, pretty simple one too. This could be expanded upon for maybe a powered squirt gun. Thought I don’t know if it would have enough pressure behind it.

Interesting kit to make a POV

Posted on June 14, 2019 by robertwilkie

Call the jolliPOV. It uses an arduino nano for the controller. You can shake it yourself for the words, or attack it to a motor. The kit is $16 plus shipping, and does not include the arduino.
