Doesn't get any better than this...
I couldn't come to Montana without seeing Jimmy. Good friend, and damn good railroader. Super proud of both him and Christian with their journey to get this thing back up to running condition!
If you would like to read about the history of the unit and restoration process, please check out the link below:
I began this bit of textile art in late January, based on a photo I took earlier that month...I must decide now if it is finished to the stage of mounting the piece on a stitched background frame.... .
I start with a drawing on the back of the plain white fabric....adding other pieces of fabric, stitching from the back...then trimming closely on the front...then lots of "drawing" with my machine, freehand... to add trees and other details..As I get near the end of the image, I must then do a LOT of background stitching ( eg...the sky...) to control the distortion that results from so much stitching. Then, a binding, if that's what I want....
And that's about all there is to it !!!
iP6s with TinType. This is a detail of a large fabrication for our customer from Austria. This eventually becomes the drive terminal on a 210 foot long film casting conveyor. We build the frame their machine rests upon.
My world. Cool stuff 😁

shy of 7 hours time lapse of pictures taken while watching the Perseids meteor shower and Jupiter parading the sky. [meteorites barely noticed in timelapse due to # of ftp]
after my eyes got used to the dark, I started to get the faint green glow in the air which I hadn't noticed until then, never witnessed an aurora either so it got me quite excited.
the play of light spill from the town nearby and the glow from the night sky into the clouds at the beginning of time lapse made me reverse it also, this is a time machine after all.
i enhanced the saturation as a visual treat to my eyes.

did the first version of this design a while back but was a cleaner cut image....blended a bit more in with this one to give a hopefully earthy look
a partial mirror image at the bottom of the page
reminds me of machines & wheels perhaps even a skeleton clock face.....
thanks for looking....appreciated......best bigger......hope you have a Great Week
La Machine made its North American debut from July 27 to 30 on the streets of downtown Ottawa. The show, created by a French theatre production company, is called "The Spirit of the Dragon-Horse, The Stolen Wings."
It features Long Ma, who has the body of a horse and the head of a dragon, stands 12 metres tall, and can breathe fire, and Kumo, a spider who is about 20 metres long when fully outstretched. The two creatures have an Ottawa backstory for the show.
“We found out that as we were excavating the tunnel in the LRT, workers saw some giant spider webs, then scientists did a bit of research and found some fossil arachnid eggs and they also found some bones from a prehistoric species of dinosaur that seems to be associated with a dragon,” Laflamme said.
Part of the appeal of La Machine, is that spectators are able to get very close to the creatures. There will be no barriers cordoning off the viewing area, instead a group of people will form a security blockade known as “la patate” that will make sure people are not under foot when the machines move.

Beatrice is not much of a seamstress, but when she came across something in her path, she just had to find out what it was. No one in her family sews, so though she felt every nook and cranny, she couldn't figure out what the odd contraption was. When her sister told her, she was very surprised and is still quite mesmerized by the machine.

The arc reactor is composed of a trans light blue 4L bar and a typical Lego LED at the rear end of it (War Machine's back). The cable comes out of the back but i photoshoped it out.
This is a 19th Century Mechanical Machine showing our Solar System and the Orbits of the Various Planets.
Oh man look at all those goodies in that display case. That corn kernel - how do i get that? Where's the coin insert?
100 Junkos feed at this bird feeder, and one Spotted Towhee. That's one oversized Towhee who has great difficulty landing on the small wrap around porch.
It's been three years since I built the Ultimate LEGO Machine. About time I got my revenge...
There's actually some cool Mindstorms bluetooth communication going on between these two robots, and it was really fun setting up the programs for the video.
Kristal also had some convenient hands lying around, so I stole one to make the 'switch pushing' robot more interesting. :)
Quarry Bank Mill
The beam is a long cylinder with flanges where around 400 threads are wound side by side. Creels of bobbins with the correct thread are mounted on a beaming frame, they wind their contents onto the beam. The machine is watched over by a worker called a "beamer".
Beaming was often carried out in the weaving shed but later the process was transferred to the spinning mill. The spinners would send lorries loaded with of beams wound with thread of the ordered sizes to the weavers. From there is would be made into cloth.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
A machine designed to harvet potatoes. The horse pulled the machine along which engage years to set the spinner going. The tines of the dinner sent potatoes from the soil into the net that stopped the potatoes flying. They were then picked up, usually by women or children, who put them into sacks for market or the store shed of the farm for saving as seed potatoes. This example was later adapted for use with a tractor. Drawn with a Rotring 0.18 Rapidograph pen.
