Thanks for the heads-up barnesrickw. I may want to take you up on that offer. Please let me know what you have, and what you might want for it. Then again, I still need to sell my Cronite Zero Pantograph. According to some sites, I could yield upward of $4,000 for the unit (maybe more)...

Wait! They don't turn into free-money fountains at some point??? :disillusionment face: Great points though. Thank you. I'll keep up the research. Cymro77: Thanks for the input. Sorry to hear about your woe with Microlux, but I really appreciate the warning. Great points. vederstein...

OK. As I may have already made obvious, I'm not a machinist. :D I've been working on my next kinetic sculpture since finishing my walking machine (see my older thread about that). I've been looking for a small (micro) milling-esque machine to put on my covered back-deck workbench. I have...

Yup. That's a pretty one. :)

Cool!... I've been scratching the surface on the 3D printer stuff in the past couple years. I mostly get my work done at shapeways.com. They're priced well and they can print almost anything I'd want. Some day, I'm going to build that 3D printer / hobby CNC machine of my own... :) Thanks for...

Yes. I built my cut files in Sketchup and have all the important details/measurements. I could make another needed. :)

Well guys. As is my wont, I've had another long delay in updating this project. Sorry for that. I've left the company where I made this sculpture to seek better opportunities. The marketing world is a tough one. The propensity for people to get ugly in that kind of environment is to great, so...

Hey guys. Thanks to all for your kind words! Brian Rupnow: Yep. Theo Jansen did originate the mechanism for the walking legs. That mechanism, although public domain now, is often referred to as "Theo Jansen Complex Linkage Mechanism". I've long been interested in the elegant nature of...

OK guys. Well. Apologies for the looooong delay on this one. :) I've finished my build on this. Sorry for not sharing the deets as I went along. I'm working on putting together the build-narrative and if you'd like, I can link to that from here. Here's a video of "The Beast" as it...

Tin. Thank you for that confirmation. I really appreciate it. :D I will get started on this and share as things progress. ~ c

Hello crueby. Thanks for the reply. I think that's likely the only encouragement I need. :D I didn't want to post something that would cause concern. If you think it's 'legal', that's great. Thanks, ~ C

Hey guys. I've been working on my own project for the past few months. I have taken many cues from some of the amazing workmanship I've seen exhibited on this forum and would like to share my own project if I'm OK to do so. It's not technically an engine though, so I wanted to see if it...

Hello Tim! Fellow Oregonian! ~ C

Hello Lewis, I have received and replied to your inquiry as well. Thanks for checking in! ~ co

Hello Perkins. I do. I've replied to your private message. Thanks for checking. ~ co Edit: replying from a cell phone typo fix...

There are two kinds of people: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete information,

HA... I've always had that phrase for "The Lottery" (in whatever iteration people may participate in). "The Lottery is a tax for people who don't understand math." :)

I have no LATHE advice for you, but I will tell you about alibaba (from my experience). I'm a buyer for a marketing company. Our clients request some WEIRD stuff. At times, I've only been able to find on alibaba and gone that route. I've had bad luck with alibaba, and will never buy through...

Good point Jerry. Thank you.

HAHA ... no. I'm not in the social strata that gets maids... or pool boys... or pool girls (damn).
