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 Pro

 


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.

From the 1940s until the late 1970s the Sheldon name was used exclusively on the Company's smaller lathes which, during the 1950s, was consolidated into the following types:
