Occasionally it is necessary to make a special tool. This one is for holding the bike rigid in case of stubborn bottom bracket things :))
At this month's Open MAKE: Tools event, visitors were invited to explore their own creativity with our four Featured Makers from around the Bay Area, who shared their art, ingenuity, and techniques.
Guests made needle-felted creatures with Moxie, created three-dimensional shapes by sewing sheets of fabric together with Judy Castro, fused plastic with clothes irons, used sewing needles and conductive thread to make circuits embedded in bracelets and badges, and used motors and other tools to take Light Painting to a whole new level.

This is an unusual tool- it's used to clean piston ring grooves on motorcycle pistons when re-ringing them.

Last week I bought 2 Berg and 2 Nooigedagt chisels in a thrift shop.
The large one (2 inch) € 2.-, the smaller ones € 1.70 each.
What I used for modelling the epoxy: Tamiya Smooth Type Epoxy and a set of cheap jeweller's waxworking tools. They're handy for smoothing and pushing crisp edges.
My original plan was to cut out shapes from rolled Epoxy and lay them over but that proved to be horrifically naive since I forgot Epoxy is sticky shit. I got the rough shapes out but had to do a lot of refining.
The high-end flash (HVL-56AM) has a strobe function meaning it can fire multiple flashes during one exposure.
I set it up to flash with a frequence of 30 hertz, so 30 flashes per second and to stop after 10 flashes.
This makes the total flash period 10/30 = 1/3 second. I set the shutterspeed of the camera to the same value.
I made several objects fall from a hight of about 2,5 meters.
Shots are best taken in a darkish environment so the flash is the only light source on the falling object.
Because the flash fires 10 times in theory you can get the object 10 times in the same frame. But then you have to get everything right:
1. Precise release moment.
2. Allowing time for the object to drop into the frame.
3. Have the object drop more or less straight down.
4. Finish the exposure before the object hits the ground or falls out of the frame.
I managed about 5 exposures.
In order to drop the object synched with the start of the exposure I used a remote control (wired) in combination with a timer delayed exposure. My timer delay (2 secs) gives 6 beeps before the exposure starts. Depending on the air-resistance of the object I let go on the 5th or 6th beep. It takes some practising but you´ll get the hang of it soon.
Camera settings full manual ofcourse.
Manual focus your camera first by holding the object still in the falling trajectory. AF is fast these days, but not that fast.
Exposure should be fully manual to. Shutterspeed is calculated from the flash frequency and number of flashes, it must not be shorter.
The amount of light is determined by the flash. I set mine to flash at 1/32 of maximum power. Times ten for a single exposure makes 10/32 = 1/3 of maximum output.
With this being predetermined you only have your aperature to control the exposure (ISO fixed at 100). Set it by trial and error.
Not perfect yet but it's fun trying.
i used a crochet quilt square that i thrifted at a garage sale a while back. added some ribbon and antique doilies. the fabric for the pockets has cute little girls on it.

Seat Online Brabomeeting End of Summer Edition 29-09-2013
The last summer meeting of 2013. The biggest turnup till date!
Started as a mini meeting, turned out to be a maxi meeting, awesome! There were about 30 cars on the scene. Nice atmosphere, good weather, what way to end the Summer better?
Info:
Camera: Nikon D5100 / Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 AF-S
Although not a very good picture , this is one of the first machine tools I ever operated. Strangely enough the drill spindle is almost invisable near the tool rack. This can be moved left and right along the arm which itself can be pulled or pushed to and fro until the drill is above the hole to be drilled.
There ! Now you know all about it!
What amazing hard work it is to tool leopard print into leather!! The painting is so painstaking and delicious: it allows the kid in me that loved to make things "just so" free rein.
