had one of them nights tonight... first off dropped the ballscrew and bent the end



so, decided to fire up the big heavy green machine in the corner. I should perhaps at this point explain that the machine is jinxed. Every single time I use it, it ends up either hurting me, or my wallet

so spun it up.. the other end whipped round like a b*stard, I grabbed the ballscrew before it killed the dog and...



thats the tidy version... (all those bearings went everywhere... for a moment, it was like a scene from home-alone)


so, after a few beers of contemplation, and a motivational chat with jonathon on skype I formulated a plan...




better. Not quite jonathon standard of engineering, I agree but much straighter.

So being an 'engineer' :D now. I decided to use this useful bit of kit too bore the holes in my pulleys



decided to come up and finish my beer in the house before I broke anything else
