So Many DIY Robots -

Recap of my collection of Scratch built/Kitbash Robots:

It is robot mania here with this collection of DIY robots. They are, for the most part, built from left-overs, scavaged parts and the bits of these parts. This is a beautiful and wonderful collection. The author mentioned something about spending a whole year building robots. I beleive he should.

Declutter and Isolate Through the Use of Foamcore

I have too much clutter on my workbench and I continue to loose or misplace project components. So I have built a couple of parts trays from leftover foamcore bits. These trays only correct the problem with the clutter in a small way, but any step in the right direction is welcome.

I used bits of copper wire as staples to insure the corners stayed where they are meant to be while the glue dried.

This one is made from bits of matboard

Lets Make Some Greeblies

I only know what one of these contraptions is and at this point I have know idea how I might use them. The miniatures were slapped together using bits of leftover plastics, mostly! I have wanted to get to this project for some time and all I needed was an excuse to get down to my shop. The greeble in the center is a miniature desalination unit, on the top is am industrial coil unit, and the greeble on the bottom is a type of distiller.

I have another greeble on my workbench waiting on some plastic putty. I will post this as soon as the piece is completed. Remember, you can never have too many greeble.

Made my Own Small Parts Organzer

I was working on a project where I needed a set of small pieces of stock close at hand. I used four small portions of paper towel inner rolls. These were the more sturdy types found in indutrial settings. I cut them to size and glued them together and then glued them to a piece of stiff cardboard.

I have finished the project, but thought this organizer might be usefull for my smaller strips of plastic and wood. They may not be pretty but they are usefull.

Added Another Special Book to my Collection

Making a Giant Metal Tome!

You all know how much I like to read and how facinated with the mention of fictional titles within the story. I call these special books. This video is from Nerd Forge where the authors are using metal for the front and back covers and their bookbinding skills to create one heavy book. Now, I would say that is one special book.They have created other special books as well.
