Most of my electronic projects end up using buck converters. I’ve bought a bunch, including some low functionality “set and forget” ones for leaving in projects.

After yesterday’s debacle I decided to have another go at making a vice clamping plate for my ring roller. It turned out OK this time.

“Bother!” said Pooh as he failed to consider basic fundamental requirements.

I have a ring roller. It is used to roll long bits of metal into circles, well, rings. Reasonably large forces are involved and it could do with a secure mounting. I don’t use it often enough to warrant screwing it to a bench. I want a mounting plate where I can drop it into a vice and it will be sturdy enough to use.

All does not go to plan.

How many more times can I revisit temperature sensing.

Mostly I’ve been making a bunch of Covid Antibodies as I’ve just had a booster jab. Other than that I’ve printed a rather nice 18650 battery holder with integral spring.

I 3D printed a battery holder that I’ll need later and I finished off assembling a 3D cube kit

I made a cover for my Lathe to prevent it from rusting quite so quickly.

Months ago I bought a dovetail jig. It was on special offer and I couldn’t resist. I thought I’d finally try to use it…
