An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Finally found time to get the spindle box components mounted.

Ice was called in, they made an arrest.

Seeing a huge rise in fake scam websites selling non-existent items using AI to generate product images. At least remove the extra fingers, tentacles, and floating pieces before you push your paid ads. Remember folks, if you see it advertised on social media, be cautious. #scam #warning #fake #ai

Started building the spindle box for the VFD and cooling pump control. Cut the key hole for the 240 power inlet and drilled all the fan mounts.

Been awhile since my last post, but I've been busy. Built a primitive rolling caddy for the CNC control boxes. #cnc #maker #build #mechanical #engineering #design #electronics #diy

Finished assembling my primitive shelves and got some things organized slightly better. Basically, it's like an upgrade from a drug addled rat's nest to a malformed birds nest with severe ADHD. Should have enough space to build the rolling caddy for the CNC control now.

Knocked out some primitive shelves from cheap wood using rudimentary tools in the most punishing and least ergonomic way possible. When I have to do woodworking, I do it in a way that ensures I never decide this would be a good hobby to take up. Still have some assembly to do. #diy #maker #build

I finally gave up trying to get a refund or RMA from omc-stepperonline.com for the bad stepper motor. There was always another step, or test, or repeat the test you already did. Word of caution to avoid them. They sent me bad cables as well and I wound up building my own.

Finally, I got my concealed sandwich permit. What's the best sandwich to carry that's legal in CA?

Got all the steppers configured and running programs. Still waiting to see if stepperonline is going to refund the bad stepper. So far, they've just told me to repeat all the trouble shooting steps I already sent them in the initial contact.
