Come make your own gadget, robot or wearable art at Tam Makers!
We started a new ‘open shop’ program called ‘You Can Make It’, to help you create your own maker project with our community. This workshop for adults and teens takes place on Wednesday evenings in our makerspace at Tam High School in Mill Valley. Our first series was held on three Wednesdays in a row: June 29th, July 6th and 13th, between 6 and 9pm.
On the first night, we helped eight participants plan their projects, prepare their materials and develop new skills. They then built their projects the following weeks, with guidance from instructors and other participants.
Here are examples of projects they worked on: a garage door opener, an animated owl, an engraving, solar-powered lights, a theremin, a wooden frame, an illuminated art piece and more. They used a wide range of tools to build them, from Arduino boards to our laser cutter, oscilloscope, and radio transmitters and solar-power technology.
One of the great benefits of this open shop program is that you get a lot more than just access to tools: you join a community of makers who like to make things together and help each other. On that first night, we had three mentors on hand to coach participants: Geo Monley, Fabrice Florin and Donald Day, who also teach at Tam Makers.
Participants seemed to enjoy this ‘You Can Make It’ open shop and told us they got a lot from it. This is one of our first maker workshops at Tam Makers, and we’re really happy that it is going well; we look forward to offering more open shop sessions in the fall.

This isn't an exchange, but more of a "gift it forward" kind of thing. The people you make something for will not be making anything for you unless you happen to get on their list.
The first five (5) people to respond to this post will get something made by me - something REAL that you could actually stub your toe on if you left it lying around on the floor.
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read carefully.
1. There is no guarantee that you will like what I make, although I really hope you do. And, remember, sometimes it's okay to tell a little white lie to spare a person's feelings. *sniff*
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done 3 months from the day I make my offer.
4. I will not give you any clue what it's to be, so don't bother begging. ;-)
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely Me.....
6. If you sign up to receive something from me, all you need to do is offer your own "Make 5".
7. It might be one of my favorite creations: Vegemite on toast :)
8. I'm willing to ship anywhere in the world, but if you have geographical limits, please say so in your own post.
9. Since you're offering to Make 5 gifts, it's probably okay to sign up for 5 other people's "Make 5". Just follow your own heart on that. :)
10. Even though you sign up for others' Make 5, you might not actually get anything. It's probaby best to plan to give with no expectation of a return gift. You just never know. :-

Cienega Bridge, Pima County (far from any populated area), Arizona.
Now, don't get me wrong; this is almost certainly a fine bridge. It has done its job for nearly 100 years. What more could be expected of it?
However, I have to ask... Why is it listed in the National Register of Historic Places? (Is a bridge even a place?)
It rates exactly two sentences in its Wikipedia article, which, although mentioning the National Register, doesn't say why it was so recognized.
As far as I can tell, it's not especially notable in terms of length, height, innovation or design. It didn't connect two places that were previously isolated, or even important. (While we may have visited at a "slow" time, it's hard to believe that this bridge carries much more than eight or ten vehicles a day; it's pretty remote here.) It spans a CREEK, which is often dry, not the mighty Mississippi.
Was it honored because of its age at the time? Is 67 years a remarkably long time for a bridge to be useful? (By coincidence, that's my count at present. Should I expect some sort of longevity award?)
Let's face it; it's not remindful of the Golden Gate or Brooklyn. It's a bridge, not an icon.
The scenic Rincon Mountains (which are not, as far as I'm aware, listed in the National Register of Historic Places even though they are probably more than 67 years old) are in the distance.

The last time I was at Oktoberfest was around 1992 so my memory was a bit foggy - a combination of age and beer apparently. We made a day trip from Garmisch to Munich to check it out. We left Garmisch a little after 9 a.m. and the train was packed with a bunch of people drinking already. That is a bit early for wine and Jagrmeister - yuck. We arrived on the grounds and walked around a bit - the place was huge with a theme or amusement park atmosphere. Some of the rides and adventures looked pretty cool. We eventually made our way into some of the beer halls - they hold 5,000 people. It wasn't even noon on a weekday and the halls were already packed. It was definitely a fun experience and I think We will be going back again soon.
I took these photos in September 2017.

"If your appointment is for a motor vehicle accident, please advise the receptionist immediately."
Why would I make such an appointment?
Creater of the bigfoot costume. David Greathouse. You can find him doing special effects for Precinct 13 and Mushroomheaad.
One major problem with minilathes -- when making a cut, the tool holder may drift along the x or y axes. Nicer lathes include a locking mechanism to prevent this sort of drift, and so I've added them to my minilathe.
Added a lock screw to the Y-axis.
I drilled and tapped a 5/16-18 hole in just the right place. When I tighten this bolt, it presses against the Y-ways, so that the tool holder will not drift along the Y-axis.
