Hi there, I would consider starting with aluminum. It's an excellent metal to start with, too get the feel of things. I would not run wood in your lathe. I'll look for some safety videos for you. For now, always remember to wear your safety glasses. No long sleeves around your lathe. No jewelry. No aprons. Nothing that can get caught in the lathe. Always examine your lathe before turning it on. Make sure the your work is secure in the chuck. As for your first cuts, go in slowly. Make gentle contact with the spinning part until you get the hang of things. Give your lathe your complete attention, no distractions while running your lathe. You must concentrate while performing any operation on your lathe. Know what everything does on your lathe to further expand your use of it. I wish you the very best with your new lathe. I will find some safety videos for you. I'm really proud of you for wanting to use it safely. Sincerely Robert

Thanks for the info. Do you have suggestions on where I can find some good resources for getting into it and doing it safely? My dad is helping me here and there, but he probably doesn’t abide by the safe practices that exist.. Should I start working with wooden dowels before brass/bronze metals?

So you know if they still make shingles? We need shingles for a bump out/shed on the side of our house, and I guess they are hard to find - and we're nearby to Harwinton!

We did run the shingle mill again this year as an educational demonstration but the Harwinton Agricultural Society doesn’t make shingles for sale because it puts a lot of wear on the machine which is over 150 years old.

Hi Jared, thank you for this nice video. I have a personal similar ongoing project but with a much bigger VFD, your project is interesting and I would like to see your approach. unfortunately, the 3 links for the source code on your main comment are not working. anyway to get an update on those link? Thank you Jared
@JaredDunbar
@JaredDunbar 7 ай бұрын
I’m currently in a bit of a transitional period and my server is offline as a result; I’ve been looking at different motors and driver boards and the biggest issue is finding high quality VFD drivers that support engine braking via a similar interface to the Syren50. I’ve considered using the sorts of motors and drivers that FIRST robotics uses but my concern is that I’d rather use a higher voltage than 12 volts to reduce the current and heat loss.

Good to see you Jared. Now you have to test them in real cold, heat, with contaminants like oil, creosote. In rail crossing with real cars weight passing on....... Since i´m a neanderthal with those technology, can you test with different plastics ? Can old one been melted and reused ? Of course without copyright anybody can copy. But isn´t it a hobby with sharing knowledges and try ? There is already metal and plastic molded ones on the market. Are yours more economical ? Would you like to produce thousands of them ? So many many questions..... Good work and hope for the best ! Cheers 😊
@JaredDunbar
@JaredDunbar 9 ай бұрын
Hey, yeah, happy to talk about it. It’s mostly an experiment. The plastic I’m using is about the most robust material that is available to me as far as plastic is concerned and is unlikely to be short lived if done properly. Metal ones would probably be the next step. Old ones probably could be recycled if you really wanted to, but any impurities in the plastic would need to be removed in that process. I would not say that the way I’m making them on the printer is any cheaper than if a mold was used. It’s more frustrating if anything. I did try two different plastics but there are only so many options for this printer that are suitable for this sort of use. Many plastics available do have strength tests available to read about.

About 14 seconds for one shingle, so that's about 2000 in 8 hours - not counting the time to swap in a new wood block.

@JaredDunbar 9 ай бұрын
They would have probably used it at a higher speed than we do at the fair if it was from overhead belt in a factory (a hit and miss engine runs slower). Material is donated so it’s more important to show the process than produce the result. If you operated this in production today you would not be able to run it for 8 hours at a time without hearing protection because it generates over 100 dB of sound level, which is above OSHA limits.

It’s probably just incidental from the capacitance of the bulbs. I didn’t do anything particularly special there. Maybe the use of a relay makes it behave differently from if I used solid state controls though?
@BenjaminEsposti
@BenjaminEsposti 9 ай бұрын
@@JaredDunbar Yeah, if it's using a buck converter or any switch-mode regulator, it'll have a capacitor. I doubt the relay will make a difference, but if you use a solid state switch/relay and attempt to dim it using PWM, the switching regulator and/or relay might not be happy.
