corsechris Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 That one looks spookily familiar....I did the loom-on-the-floor thing about 2 years back for my project and I'm in the middle of cramming 5 lbs of wire into a 1lb bag right now. ....AND, they are copying AvE's sayings - Tits & Pickles, and Angry Pixies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsechris Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 8 minutes ago, Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary said: ? Another program? Something worth following, too? Oh yes indeed!! Well, he appeals to me anyway. His language is 'entertaining' and he makes no bones about it, designed to deliberately de-monetise his videos, so be warned Basically a Canadian guy who seems to have years of experience working on 'machinery' and does videos of various flavours, largely tear-downs of popular tools, but also other random oddments. Just search YouTube for AvE. Other stuff that might appeal, Wintergarten - Scandinavian musician making a marble machine instrument. This is his second one and much more 'engineered' than his first one. This Old Tony - A North American chap with a pleasant manner making stuff.

No wonder your updates on the car are so few and far between watching all that!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nice_guy Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Watched august episode following the wiper discussion in the build log thread. Very interesting (slightly overengineed if such a thing exist, maybe ?). I'll watch the rest with interest. Discovered that marvelous mechanical contraption that is supposed to remove water from the windshield. Spent part of the afternoon evaluating if making such a system would work under the scuttle, or if going the lazy unmechanical "two high torque RC servos wired to an arduino" would be more appropriate to get shaft angle right at the expense of a skippy low speed swipe.

corsechris Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I’m pretty sure that stepper motors can work well for wipers, seen them GT cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit Car Electronics Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I think they're full time on it now, anxious to start the next project... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yep, between the commercial sponsors and the Patreon sponsorship, they’ve been able to go full time, that’s why episodes are coming thick and er, fast, now!

jeff oakley Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 There was a funny comment on Youtube, one guy said he feared he wouldn't live long enough to see it finished, he was 40 and healthy! I love their way of thinking and how many would have thought watching two men unwrap a wiring loom for 20 minutes would be such good watching.

Stephen W Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 The MG loom would work great in a Westie. Might steal that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
