I'm sure most of us have a strong desire to create and build things with our own two hands...

So, I just ordered a few components that should allow me to make some very interesting custom items.

Here's a peek at what I have so far >








Want to guess what they're for?




.

 

3D printer?

 

Time machine and go back in time and get a job at Mitsubishi?

 

Ah.. good ol' time machine, aye?
Well I can state for a fact that if I could build one... Going to work for Mitsubishi would probably not be on my list of to-do's.


(And, by the way I would rather go into the Future than to the past.)

 

Your gonna start making me so custom rc stuff .....lol

 

Let's start the build...

Clean off my trusty ol' workbench (ie: circa 1980's drafting table)
Need myself some elbow room!


Putting some metal bits together
Carriage subassembly -







Some plastic bits
Lift guides & rails -

Drone? I been following these a lot on the inter web and youtube.

 

So sorry.
But, That is not one of the choices.


However, drones will be covered Very soon in another thread. Keep your eyes & ears peeled.

 

Doing the base mount




Front plate with big bearing

 

Interesting how building one thing can get you thinking about using parts of it for something completely different...

 

I thought router and voted for that but as I scrolled down the thread I now see a camera attached haha. Is that a red herring or have you built a motorised slider for time lapse photog?

 

... no comment.
