Seems I got a week ahead of myself. Hacknight is next Thursday(Sept 6), right?
All this activity on the list, and I almost showed up a week early.
Good news is that with an impending deadline looming (in my imagination) I seem to have done my, work on the laser Thursday afternoon before hacknight, a week early. Who knows, I might have accidentally found the secret to world domination...
See everyone >>Next Week<<

But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of the police forces and the fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory...
Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and you pay forward for the next kid who comes along."

Yeah, epoxy or heating them were my two ideas.
I threw pottery at the craft studio for a few years. Great place!
Brad C. I'm going to bring a few friends tonight who are excited to see the Aluminum smelting. Hope that's ok.
And, could I use someones oscilloscope for a little while at the hack night? I am still messing with transistors to pulse the laser Spirograph. It works fine, but I would like to see for my own curiosity how much the transistor coming on, lags the control (base) pulse from the Arduino.
I still have not gotten a clean turn on of the pulse, although I have decided I kind of like the effect as it is. So Scott, or someone else, could you possibly bring one of those small Osciliscopes? Thanks!!!

I'll look into them as I have time this week.My partner works in the Craft Studio, so I'll look into that possibility too. Good thought! She was really excited that someone from gadget works thought of mentioning the Craft Studio because she loves CGW.Thanks!BenOn Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 11:57 PM, Brad Dudenhoffer <urba...@gmail.com> wrote:
Epoxy should work well. Try a bar top mix : http://www.ebay.com/itm/EPOXY-RESIN-4-BUBBLE-FREE-TABLE-AND-BAR-TOP-CLEAR-COATS-/310186223912Are you set on the cube shape? If not, I bet the kiln in the craft studio gets hot enough to melt glass. Make little piles and heat them to ~<800C and they will tack together and soften the exposed edges.

If you had shown up, I just would have taken the opportunity to ask your advice on this critter that took up residence in my shop this week:
Oh well, I guess that will keep until next week too.

It was a craigslist find. I've had a saved search running for about two years. This one was down near Sullivan, MO.
