Miniature Foundry

Well, it took long enough, but my miniature foundry is finally up and running. What this means is that I am finally able to turn digital models into metal objects using a combination of 3D printing and investment casting. https://www.bitchute.com/video/FiGKl0VjXzoR/ There are means to fabricate metal objects via 3D printing directly, such as my personal…

Another Project Done

Yesterday, I finished building my new shooting gallery, and I have to say, it came out quite well - for being the product of someone with literally no experience in construction, working completely alone. Then again, I suppose I have YouTube channels such as Primitive Technology and Mr. Chickadee to thank. Either that, or growing…

Back in the Shop!

Recently, I had my first machining job in a very long time.  I won't go into details, but since my customer is connected with me on LinkedIn (you know who you are, thank you for the work), I'll add any comments that may show up in my feed over there.  It's a bit awkward, so…

New Video Series: Kaja’s 3D Print Shop

The Form 3 has been running for a few days now, and I'm happy to report that I can print sailing ships with it.  My first test included several 1/1200 scale ancient war galleys, which, as you might expect, didn't have much in the way of supports.  My 1/1000 scale 1812 frigate had more supports,…

The Alt-Geek Shall Inherit the Internet

Regarding the world-wide shutdown of YouTube for several hours last night, I think the saying "don't keep all your eggs in one basket" is applicable.  Styxhexenhammer has already addressed this in one of his recent BitChute videos.  However, I have my own approach to this topic. I've addressed the topic of alt-tech before, even coining…

Second CAD Tutorial

The JN-2, which I've shared on this blog before, is the subject of my second CAD tutorial: In this second lesson, I explain how to quickly switch back and forth between multiple part configurations, using the suspension on this fictional self-propelled artillery battery as an example. I tried posting this on Steemit as soon as…

I’m on BitChute!

I've done it, I've FINALLY DONE IT! I've completed my first CAD tutorial, in which I discuss my construction of the SU-100Y over five videos spanning 3 and-a-half hours. Links are below to each of the parts. Part 1: https://www.bitchute.com/video/k1nwJyjzfeVN/ Part 2: https://www.bitchute.com/video/7QZF4cR77P2a/ Part 3: https://www.bitchute.com/video/UCWIqxAiYkvl/ Part 4: https://www.bitchute.com/video/8TNKUwAZCdLu/ Part 5: https://www.bitchute.com/video/QtbR45HWwb79/ I hope you…
