I lasercut a phone tray to use with an arm.

I'll probably upgrade/replace it when I add more GoPro mounts to allow
pivoting in more directions.

I don't know about a steel table, but the pill popper thing was interesting. If you threaded the upper part and added a nut, the nut would stop movement of the plunger to prevent crushing the pill to powder once it pops through the foil packaging.

[Mark Rehorst]

That's really nice! What did you finish it with?

[MKE Gadgets]

Thanks for the great  suggestion as soon as the top of the pill is even with the top of the green part I stop pushing. So far I haven’t crushed any pills.

Thanks

I've been working on the glass top for the sand table Arrakis that will make its public debut at the makerFaire at MSOE in September. I am using red oak frame to fit around the glass and will be sealing it with silicone so that if some doofus (probably me) spills a drink on it, it won't leak into the sandbox.

Mark,

Odie's Oil.

Very durable.

I am glad Brady talked me into giving it a try. I have finished a number of pieces with it.

I finally took the time to hook up my dual propane automatic switch to my generator. The problem in doing this is my generator has a built in regulator which has a bleed/purge valve. I'm not about to take it apart. Most all automatic propane switch over switches like this also have a regulator under them but are all die cast and can not really be sawed off. Found on you tube someone who found this type of propane switch that has a regulator that you can cut off and tap the bottom NPT. They are obsolete but one can find one if one looks around. Plus I had to make my own fittings for the outputs for the hoses. I used some epoxy as a sealant on the threads.  I have a propane generator because if one has a gas generator that one does not use for many years the gas can dry up and you are screwed if it is a big rain storm and the power goes out. Propane is kinda a hassle as you just can't file the tank with a gas can so I keep 4 tanks on hand. I used it at least twice and I had to sleep in my family room so I could hear if it was running out of propane. I would have to shut it off and install a new tank. I know at any time I can put on a propane tank and it fires right up. No flooded basement for me. No worries now with a dual tank set up.  :)
