I decided to create a blog today. The current purpose is to document my progress on whatever projects I’m doing at home. This was a tough decision. I often have bold ideas of what I want to attempt to do. These projects always seem easier before I start than the actually are. Making them public means I have to face the fact that people will see what I start and never finish.
My current project is a RepRap. This is a machine that is capable of building other things. The goal is to build a machine that can replicate itself. The current design can’t really do that. I’ve already bought and assembled most of the electronics the machine needs.
I’ve many of the other parts. I’m missing the plastic parts. To get them in plastic, I would have to order them from a company that has a rapid prototyper. This is quite expensive so I am going to attempt to make the parts out of wood. I need to get some tools together for that. I’ll need a work bench, drill press, saw and vise.
