Making

 

A look into process and production. Use the menu to browse project pages. I find something I like, it gets dropped into the feed.

Permatecture

 

Permatecture professionals address complex cultural and technical aspects of climate change including:

  • Is Energy, Food And Water Independence Possible?
  • What Does Sustainability Look Like?
  • Can We Live With A Zero Carbon Footprint?
  • What Would It Take To Leave No Trace?
  • Implications of Open Source Media Tech and Free Press
  • Do We Have The Will For Necessary Changes?

Permatecture professionals seek to tie disparate bits and pieces into a cohesive model.

My 1955 Sheldon EXL-56P Lathe

To cut threads in hardened M-2 punch pins you need sharp colbalt and light cuts. Note the chewed flats. <meh> I really need to get my surface grinder wired up. Watch the video. Also:

Auto Leveling Base for Mini Tools

Microcontroller and stepper motors to stiffen and level bendy mini lathes. And other lightweight bench top tools. This project includes features from the following:

Ender-3 E and Klipper via Kiauh

XYZ Calibration Cube in Bue

Older wierd niche 'Creality Ender-3 E', craigslist find. Came with BL Touch, spiffy red bed leveling screws. Not just very little documentation, it's like they wanted to erase it from the internet. <meh>

Pallet Racking Repair

Bendy bit fitment. Painted orange on steel table.

Ever wonder what happens when a stoopid forklift operator gets a bit out of sorts. Things break. Here's the last item to repair of our #upcycled storage system. #permatecture #art #studio #build #maker

 

Fediverse Media - PeerTube + PixelFed

Picture of metal chips on a lathe

I am testing #PeerTube and #PixelFed over at https://faf.watch and https://faf.photos. We'll see how it goes. The install and configure is much easier now for both than in 2018 when I last attempted. :) PixelFed is very easy. Peertube is for tech adverturous only, but I can see things changing rapidly. Note: Lock everything down before publishing or allowing registrations. Take your time.
