I Have Space

I have rented a room called "Studio 1710" in the same building that Cyberia is in. It is much smaller than what I thought I was looking for, but with all the tools just down the way, that greatly reduces the space I need. This is at least a starting place.

On my first inquiry, I was told the 200 sq. feet would cost $200 per month plus electricity. After some very easy negotiating, we settled on $150 per month with electricity included.


A plain rectangular room with peg board walls is hardly worthy of a picture, but you can count on seeing one when I get some shelving and inventory in place.

Learning piece #1 nearing completion

I'm pretty excited about the way this has turned out. Many components are different than the original image in my head, but in most cases it was a change for the better.

It is still in need of some finishing touches and those are coming soon..

I've noticed old motors, steam boilers  and the like often have a label kind of like this one:

If I can produce something like this I think it would be a nice addition.

This video was a bit rushed, but being a kinetic sculpture it seems important to show it's kinetic nature.

Making Adjustments

From this point

I imagined the saw blade tripping a lever to transfer the motion to a counter. To that end I assembled this piece.

When I added it to the assemblage it did not give me the "teeter-totter" result I was looking for. After a good bit of trial and error I finally decided to abandon the lever. It's a little tough to throw away a "good" idea and find another one to replace it. The new idea became making the connection from the saw blade to the counter with a spring.

I'm kind of pleased with the way it's looking
