Today are the tool caddies that I've tested and tweaked for a few months. Also, tending printers.

Today are a few unfinished projects that I'm completing to get a sense of how to set up tools and materials around the new lathe and mill.

A horrible Chinese variac. For the same local engineer as the afore mentioned dummy load. Replacing all the wiring (including the power cord), updating the plugs and switches, installing a digital ammeter, and making a good ground. Sort of like putting lipstick on a pig, but for safety. I really don’t like the way the wire to the wiper is wrapping around the dial shaft so much.

A custom dummy load build for a local studio engineer. Switchable 4 and 8 ohm loads at 100 watts. Designed with a Princeton Reverb in mind.

Today is a short run of 1:6 scale Tiny Alto displays: printed, sanded, painted, assembled, and shipped. I said quarter scale in the video but that's incorrect. These are spoken for but if you'd like your own let me know and I'll put another run on the schedule. They're pretty dang cute.

Today are a couple of printed ventilation parts to finish the in-bench laser engraver enclosure. Waiting to play with the engraver until the enclosure is finished is trying, but it's almost time.
