This short video was filmed impromptu at a picnic… all using a Motorola Droid X. The quality in the evening is not the best, but it makes for an interesting short.

In our workshop, we have been designing a new toy wooden gun model in SolidWorks. This is inspired by the classic Thompson Machine Gun from the early 1900′s in the US. We will probably make it out of maple or walnut, and either paint or stain it.

What does someone do who is Cold and Hungry?? >> Close their Windows and buy an Apple! This came to mind sometime after I bought a Mac when my son (who is seven) asked me if I didn’t like Windows…

We recently purchased a copy of SolidWorks to use with our various engineering projects. In about 3 hours, I was able to learn how to create parts, assemblies, and drawings. The software (to this point) is nothing short of incredible. And I’m just using the most basic features. Here is a graphic of [...]
