  1. On my train and running on schedule. Unsure how long it will take to get to Brooklyn but I will definitely appreciate lunch. 

    Edit: about 35 minutes according to my phone, 1230 or a little after should work for me.

  2. My train is supposed to arrive just before noon tomorrow to Penn Station. I can't check into the hotel until 4 so I will definitely need lunch and likely refreshments. I can head towards Court Street Grocers as soon as I get in.

    Beyond that, I have no concrete plans at all this weekend, just looking to enjoy the time.

  3. I am scheduled to get in on Friday around noon so once I check in, it'll be a game to find the rest of the crew. Definitely down for dinner Saturday but I have nothing else to add as this will be my first time actually spending time in NYC.

    Edit: Have I mentioned I am excited to see some of you for the first time in like 8 years? I am very excited.

    It’s an awfully warm summer here in southern Sweden and it’s too hot to sleep… did this last night…

    An attempt to make a smd version of CFA3. Same board size as the smd version of Dynahi I built some months ago.

    Lots of more work… doubt I’m capable to get this to work though.

    I am into this. I have been thinking about a CFA3 and an SMD version appeals to me a lot. Hope you can get it working!

  5. Finally got the output stage of my amp at least somewhat functioning. Spent a solid few weeks scratching my head and thinking I screwed something up. Nope, both 45 tubes I have had bad heaters. Bought another tube and now everything is as it should be. Next stop: find some output transformers.

  6. I finally got around to servicing my Sony PS-X7. The speed control was acting up by holding a speed but then jerking the table every couple of second.

    Found the service manual online, did a couple of the steps to adjust the speed controller and cleared the problem completely. Also learned a skill I never thought I would have to learn, how to wrap wires.

  7. 220V is also good for welding, surprisingly few have a 120V option. Which I why I ended up with an AHP.

    And Naaman, that is damn sexy. Did you do the modeling off of your badge yourself?

    I picked up an SMD practice kit since I have a few things I want to do that would require it. Tried hand-soldering for the fun of it. The results work, but are not worth the picture.

  8. I have not, though I probably will now. Feed and speeds are still a bit arcane to me. Easy enough for wood now. But I know the Shapeoko can do softer metals and I intend to do that soon. Even picked up a surplus fridge compressor to kit out as an air assist/mist cooler

  9. I goofed around enough in Gimp and Inkscape designing patches in the past to at least be mediocre at making vectors. And like both of you, just cautiously dipping my toes into 3D so far. The motivation problem I have is that if I do not have a project that requires it, I'm not going to really put effort into learning.
