DIY: How to bend aluminium the easy way with a home made brake and a few tricks. If you have ever been into electronics in any particular way the problem often arises at the end of a project the enclosure “What the hell am i going to put all this in ! “ Some people’s standards are different to others and some are quite happy putting their projects in any type of box and believe me I've seen some things online verging from a pc in a cardboard box to amplifiers in cigar boxes. Now don't get me wrong this can be well implemented at times you only have to look at the Cmoy Mint Amps housed in an Altoids Tin to see a good implementation. There are quite a few nice off the shelf commercial chassis's available such as Hammond Mfg extruded aluminium series but they are very height limited you aren't going to fit any type of large transformer in there .There are many others some from EBay, some of the Chinese chassis are great but factor in shipping and tax and your soon racking up £100 + only to have to modify it and this is where my journey begins.......

Time to bend or nearly. Library | San Francisco Victorian. It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to have a home theater. The only problem is, who has space for an entire room dedicated to a home theater? Rather than create rooms with only one purpose, we build ours to entertain. This creates some really fun challenges. Above you can see the projector screen fully installed and lowered. I purchased the screen from Monoprice at a pretty good rate. Below you can see what the room looks like with the screen retracted. But first, we had to knock down a wall before we began. Once the wall was down we had to clean up the openings. Once the soffit was done we screwed it to the opening and made sure it was level. Here’s a quick video of us testing the operation of the screen. As we had prepared for, the original header that we screwed the soffit to was not level; however, the screen had to be in order to operate properly.

Making Springs: Part 2. Making Springs on the Small Lathe Part 2: Compression springs This article deals with making small springs using a metal lathe. There may be other, better ways of doing it. This is how I've done things in my own home shop for years, and these methods have worked well for me.NOTICE! Safety glasses are a must in any machine shop, at all times. This is never more true than when working with spring wire. Now, on to the fun stuff. This is part 2. There is not much difference for making compression springs, except you need a way to evenly space the coils. All that's really needed is a little fixture similar to this one. Just a piece of square stock that will fit your tool post, and an adjustable screw large enough to withstand the force that will be against it when running larger wire.

Here's a closer shot of the working end. I'm going to do this using a hand crank to rotate the spindle, and I would suggest that until you have lots of practice and a good feel for it, that you do too. Les copeaux de jean-marie. Woodworking for engineers. Laser Engraved, Wax Filled, High Contrast Panels for Electronics Projects | RedToRope.

This technique for creating high contrast panels for electronics projects and prototypes using a laser cutter gives great results using cheap and easy to find materials. It’s really useful as an alternative or substitute for more expensive and harder to find laser engravable laminates like SureLase. The product we use at work for laser engraved signs on products we ship, SureLase, gives great results, is super easy to use and available in a large range of colours.

Its downside for non-commercial users is its price and the fact that you have to buy a large 1 x 1.5m sheet. It’s also not as versatile as a plain piece of 3mm acrylic, you can’t make other parts out of it since that’d be a waste. Here are some photos of some items made with a different method, achieving similar results and using just 3mm white acrylic and a black wax crayon. It’s easy, fast (though not as fast as SureLase) and looks dead smart. Example electronics project facia, missing the pot and switch to finish it off: So….

How to Make an Inexpensive Wi-Fi Radio With an Asus Router and USB Sound Card. Asciimation » Blog Archives » A steampunk record player. November 30th, 2010 I finally finished off the last few details on the steam powered record player and gave it the first full test on live steam! The engine and base and other hardware are complete but the software could use some work. It does however run. Finished steam punk record player. Before I bore people with details and photos here is a film of it in action on YouTube. Yes, it’s a steam powered record player. You can’t really get more steam, or punk, than that! And yes, I know it sounds terrible. For those who haven’t followed the whole story here is a brief catchup.

Now steampunk is an odd thing. My original plan was to use an old fashioned gramophone style pickup and horn. Once I knew that would work I pulled everything apart, finished up a few details like a wooden drawer in the base to hold the electronics and batteries and I made a small brass meths burner to provide the flame. First test run on YouTube. Anyway, some pictures of the finished device. What’s next? Homemade BB Gun using a One Way Valve « Split Reaction. Translate.

Eleonore Deco. Imprimante 3D. Build the LASER SPY DEVICE - Page 1 of 18. Build the long range Laser Spy system The Laser Spy System is considered by many to be the Holy Grail of high tech spy devices because it can give the user the ability to listen in on conversations that take place in a distant building without having to install a bug or transmitter at the location. The Laser Spy System was said to be invented in the Soviet Union by Leon Theremin in the late 1940s. Using a non-laser based infrared light source, Theremin's system could detect sound from a nearby window by picking up the faint vibrations on the glass surface. The KGB later used this device to spy on the British, French and US embassies in Moscow. It is also interesting to note that Leon Theremin invented the world's first electronic instrument, a wand operated synthesizer named "The Theremin" after him. The Laser Spy System goes by several names such as the Laser Microphone, Laser Listener, Laser Bug, Window Bounce Listener and a few similar names.
