Fail Fest returned for another year of fail hilarity at FHI 360 with Plan International and TechChange as co-sponsors.
I tried to make a gouge from a masonry nail (supposedly hardened steel). After annealing, I used a Dremel and stone to cut the inside of the gouge, then hand filed the outside sweep and the bevel. Then I heat-treated it, quenched it in oil, and tempered it at 400F.
The handle is cut from some green wood from fallen branches I found near a creek during a lunchtime walk. A short length of copper pipe serves as a ferrule.
Unfortunately, after I sharpened the gouge, I tried it out, only to have the edge bend back on itself. A test with another masonry nail showed that I seemed to have heated it hot enough for heat treatment (a magnet no longer stuck), but the metal was still softer than a file after quenching. This is a good reminder to test unknown steel before you make your tools!
I found that the handle also fits 6-inch files, so all is not lost.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 13:4-13:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
In order to succeed in Life, we must make our failures important lessons along the way.
Watched a good friend loose his first mma fight tonight but I am sure he will come back stronger than before. I have failed in many ways but I always try to learn from my mistakes.

3rd attempt to route the cable to the ankle, and I still can't get anything out of it: dead foot. These brake levers only give you about 1cm of movement along the line, and with .25cm of slop in the joint already, I can't seem to get more than 15˚ of motion for the ankle when I need at least 90˚. Fail.
Either I build my own hand levers out of aluminum tomorrow, or I give up and attach the control rods directly to the feet - which sounds like a much less stressful solution. I was originally going to go for attaching directly to the feet, but I was feeling adventurous this morning... not feeling so adventurous anymore.

She was supposed to stand still and I were supposed to put focus right. We both failed a bit.. Still it was a good place to take a photo so I'm sticking with this one.

My failed attempt to get a photo of Dolce doing some Re-ment barbequing (given to the girls by our good friend). Here is the aftermath
Bucky the Beaver had been working on this 20 cm young cottonwood all last autumn. But he miscalculated and felled it too close to the adjacent tree in which it hung up. So he chocked it up as a learning experience and left it hanging. It will be interesting to see if it ever does fall on its own. Cottonwood Island Park, Prince George, BC. April 21, 2022.
Our room is apparently not ventilated enough for a gas fire in the lounge. Not that we ever use it anyway, at least never during the day with Joshua around.
failed, but i still wanted to put this up.
Since the pano is such a wide image, it's hard to appreciate just how big in the sky this storm cloud was. It took me 5 pics at 18mm to fit it all in. It was raining a couple hundred yards out from the pier, but here it seems so far away.
and you should really really view this large!
I tried to make a shot of my 1 month old daughter. I spend over two hours on two sessions but she would not stop screeming and kicking.... This was the only shot I took and after that I used my two year old daughter as a stand inn.
She did a better performance.

These came out of a Peltier based fridge. I like the crack in the epoxy on the right transistor. They got hot enough that they desoldered themselves from the board.
