Tools That Build the Things

Most of the shop was built, not bought. A CNC router built from scratch. An old power hacksaw torn down, cleaned up and put back to work. A motorized camera slider. A cuckoo clock rebuilt to run by remote control. A rig for testing servos with paper tabs before they go in a robot.

How it works

[A paragraph on the CNC: how it was built and what it cuts. A paragraph on bringing the hacksaw back.]

Build log

  1. Built a servo test rig with paper tabs, to see how motion reads before it goes into a robot. [Confirm date.]

  2. First cuts on the home-built CNC: a branch design, with the grooves filled with paint. [Confirm date.]
