I need to make a bench in the form of a sailboat… ![]()
I need to get my LR4 built. especially since I have donated or dismantled the two LR3s I had.

I want to make more progress on my LR4 build and maybe add some motors to my mpcnc build.
Not CNC related….but another IKEA based built-in. This time an office/desk/library wall. It’s sad how long its been since my CNC has been powered on….
The older I get the more time dilates, and there just isn’t enough to go around. Sorry to get existential on ya…
Eggbot, another epoxy board, window trim upstairs, finish built-in drawers, get sla printer running, upgrade lr4 to 24v and swap yz max plate motors, calibrate abs/asa printer.
Garden planting time. Designed stands for pots on the deck so they won’t keep destroying the wood underneath. I designed them with draft built it (not beer draft), as the plan is to cast them in aluminum eventually.
I might get to finish the LR3…
Opening a new taproom location for work. That is all encompassing these days…
Why are you all thinking about spring projects when it’s only just Autumn? ![]()

I have to get a sandify release out and build some patterns for the zenxy for RMRRF.
Start in on the farmbot to have it ready to go, likely in october after everything is done growing

Will there be a mostly printed version of the Farmbot? ![]()
I have almost completed planting my garden. So far I have the tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, and green onions in the ground.
Now I’m waiting for my parsley and basil to get big enough to plant too.
I have never really understood what this is for other than watering. What are some of the other functions you might use?
I’ve dusted off an old sewing machine to attempt some off road luggage for my Dual sport motorcycle. I met a bunch of guys who moto- camp and it seems like a good time.
All your gadgets and conversations on this forum made me a little robot happy last year. Some CNC company was having a liquidation sale back then so I bought a lot of extrusion. This is mainly to play around with more robots with supplies I got for cheap.
I’m gone for weeks at a time during the summer so watering is good. It also weeds which is handy. I probably won’t do it this year but automated planting could also be fun to play with. Hopefully it moving about also scares away some critters that would otherwise eat my goods.
To be blunt, I’m a bit discombobulated.
Two days before the current unpleasantness in the middle East broke out, we booked our fares to the EU for our usual spring/summer migration. Naturally our airline of choice was Emirates, which is enduring a few challenges at the moment, and six weeks out we have no idea of the status of our flights. For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, we paid slightly more than tickets on a different airline that flies through Asia rather than UAE, those fares have increased by AUD $6,000 each at the moment!
Of course we did that while camping in our van, around 2000k from home (which explains my silence over the last six weeks) so our return journey suffered similar cost increases, and for a time, due to shortages, it looked as though we’d be walking the last five hundred to get home, yet here we are basking in the glow of another adventure completed.
We’re going to plug on, preparing the garden and house as though we are going, but it may well be that instead of travel, late spring (for most of you) will see some V1 type activity in the shed - there’s a bright side to everything! ![]()
Hopefully finally cleaning/organizing my new shop (same as a few months ago!)
Finally finished preparing the old house to be a rental - and had a lease signed 6 days after putting it up for rent.
But the next weekend which I had hoped would be shop cleaning weekend became emergency vet weekend and gal bladder surgery for one of our pups
He did great though and has recovered amazingly. But now we’ve had unseasonable heat hit us…along with a string of irrigation system failures I’ve had to deal with…and now my wife wants me to get the pool up a few weeks earlier than I expected.
So the window to get the shop cleaned before summer makes it too hot to be out there is rapidly closing. I just hope I manage to get it at least organized before then…and maybe just maybe then have enough time to maybe do one little project with the LR4!
This sounds neat, able to share pic/details? Weed killing robot would be nice.
