How NOT to use one of our generators - A truck driver installed this in his own enclosure to use it as a APU. It powered his heating and air when parked. Saved on fuel and did not have to run his truck however the generator did not last long as he modified the exhaust and as you can see, so many other things. Portable generators are just not designed to be used like this.
Head Modification Contest Entry #2 at PNW BJD Expo 2016
Contestants were required to do a head modification + faceup based on the theme of PNW BJD Expo 2016: BJD Comic-Con
Replace the knuckle-buster bolts on the hand cranks.
The stock socket head cap screws protruded enough to catch my knuckle with each turn. I replaced them with some hex-head M6 bolts, and I do ... less damage to my knucles.
When I get around to it, I'll probably face these bolts down further to save my knuckles.

It's very hard to capture in a photo, but I'm almost certain these bricks came from the same mold. Both are hollow-stud block letter, but the top has two slots, and the bottom has none. I think the slots came later, because there is NO sign of a ghost slot in the bottom brick.
Holes drilled, outside of holes chamfered. I cobbled this rig together so I could chamfer the inside of the holes. Used a piece of 3/16" dia rod in the chuck with a flat ground near the bottom end. I attached the single flute countersink with a turned aluminum shaft collar equipped with a pair of #8-32 setscrews. Works a treat!
A clover on my left wrist.
No, it didn't really hurt; I thought piercings were much more painful. My fingers did go numb though.

Removing all the decals was very easy, leaving me with this glossy black tactical looking helmet.
It is almost tempting to leave it this way, as the black is very tactical and SWAT looking. But, it's a bit too shiny, and for the Russian military look it really needs to be olive green.
Having washed the helmet down with detergent to get rid of some of the grease and left over glue from the decals, I now have to wipe the helmet over with paint thinners.
This should prepare the surface for the Krylon paint.

A series of photos taken in and around the Wholesale District of Downtown Los Angeles, CA. This series attempts to create a portrait of the area through an examination of the architecture and other man-made "modifications" to the area.
At this point we want to find the center position of the feedback pot. We turn on the transmitter and receiver, connect the servo to the receiver and watch the servo's motor spin. The transmitter is in a neutral position so the motor will stop when the potentiometer is in the center of its range.
Machined a set of 4: 4 in. tall riser blocks for a twin cylinder steam engine. Here they are getting a trial fit. Next job: making longer valve rods and connecting rods.
with Sonja's encouragement, I'm posting my modification of her great witch pattern. This modification have shoes/socks that weren't included in the first version.
Based loosely on the "Very Biased Skirt", built on an old slip with yards and yards of vintage and destash lot lace from Etsy, my stash and a friend's well-timed grab. A camera phone snap of the neckline is here.
Good guesstimation placed some more ruffley rows at the hip(ish) area, to create a fuller silhouette. The owner of the dress is considering a sash to add more shape and general foofing. I am all for it. I'll hopefully get outfit-styled shots eventually, but it's way too frigging cold for a slip dress right now.
Complete. The narrow OD of the B&M wire was beefed up with layers and layers of shrink tubing in an effort for the wire to be snug in the hole that passes through the fender and to avoid water from coming into the light body. I would have drilled a smaller hole if I had originally planned to pass only a single conductor cable through.
