Brian, thanks but no thanks, I love your projects I am not that good yet at machining but am good at copy and paste, now I will have to live a few more hundred years more that I though I would need, how neat, that is very nice project, I love motion and slow motion at that, I sure hope I live long enough and my machining skill improve fast, thanks for the projects that will be enjoyed for many people many years to come, that is so nice of you to share learning, you take care, hope when you do hit the sack you can sleep good and "when" you wake you have some good ideas, thanks again, Lathe Nut

Brian
OUTSTANDING!! Now even more fun could be had from finding ways to give it a Rube Goldberg look with various odds and ends doing other strange things, all set around the center piece slinky action.

Steve
Who agrees the pittman hand idea would be some outstanding engineering.

 

[Brian Rupnow]

Still messing about with cameras--The camera my wife bought me yesterday was a Kodak, and although it worked well, it saves video files as .mov files which my Microsoft Movie Maker software could not open or work with----So, I took it back, and with the help of a wheelbarrow full of more money, bought a Cannon Powershot 9 Megapixel super duper digital camera. This is the first video made with it, and yes, it saves its movies as .avi files, which my Movie Maker software CAN work with.

 

[Maryak]

Brian,

Now that's a movie

The focus is brilliant.

Glad you chose the Canon, I'm wrapped in mine and like you I previously had a Kodak not-so-easyshare.

Best Regards
Bob

 

[dsquire]

Brian :bow:

Looks to me like the new canon is a keeper. Both the still and the movie seem to be excellent quality. The engine and slinky tosser are also top shelf material. Time to break out the champagne Brian.


Cheers :bow:
