RE: Latest Delivery - Vinny - 09-11-2023
Willie, maybe you can get with hermetic and get one of them stair climber things from him! Shouldn't cost much to ship it across the pond then across the country... or halfway across the country... ooh, even cheaper!!
RE: Latest Delivery - Highpower - 09-12-2023
Nah, my goal is to be able to do it under my own steam so I can navigate stairs anywhere if I need to. Those chair lifts don't travel well I'm afraid.
RE: Latest Delivery - Dr Stan - 11-29-2023
Just a couple of minutes ago
Well I've got to do some editing so the pic will fit. It's an Ender 3D printer.

I've used crutches, a cane and a wheelchair. Multiple knee surgeries, a very large cyst in my right heal, knee replacement, and finally DISH Syndrome which prevents me from lifting more than 10kg. Took a lot of physical therapy so that I can motor on by myself. but I do. BTW, 90% disability rating by the VA. PTSD, Agent Orange exposure resulting in Type II Diabetes, and hearing loss. The diabetes caused the DISH Syndrome.

Yeah getting old sucks doesn't it?
I was doing PT for a couple of months when I opened up a new wound on my right heel from hopping around on one leg all the time using a walker. So I have to stop doing the PT until my heel, heals - which takes forever. I had a wound on my left heel previously which led to complications and resulted in losing my left leg. I don't want to lose the right leg too so I am on hiatus from PT for awhile.
Would you have used one of these when you were building your house if you had the chance?

Yep. BTW, forgot about the walker.

That sure would have been nice, however given the low cost of labor here I don't think it would be cost effective. The ability to use a design without straight walls would be great.
BTW, came really, really close to loosing my right leg above the knee. When I had ACL surgery on my right knee the hospital gave me MRSA. there were three possible outcomes. 1) amputation above the knee; 2) buy a coffin; 3) get better. Fortunately door #3 opened. At the time the ACL surgery cost right at $10K. Curing me of MRSA cost $60+K which the hospital had to absorb. 750ml of Vancomycin 2X/day for six weeks self administered using a pump holding a 375ml syringe. Took an hour & 30 minutes for each session, or 3 hours/day. Daily debriding of the surgical wound. Weekly visit by a home health care nurse to draw blood for a Vanco level and to check the Pic Line going in the inside of my left elbow. From there the line went to the upper camber of my heart. That was the line to inject the Vanco into my blood stream. Oh so much "fun".

Got a couple of things today, nothing very exciting.
5/16" lathe bits, because they seem to be getting a lot more expensive, and I didn't have any unground ones:

And a cutoff tool I wanted to try. Bits included are supposed to be for harder materials, but I'll give it a shot.

Both were eBay finds, and both were fairly cheap.

I bought a very similar one from Amazon about a month ago based on a video on YouTube of a guy that reviewed the various parting tools for the mini lathe that he had used. He liked this one the best. I haven't tried it yet.

We watched the same video, I think. I had to get a different one because it was a couple of bucks less. Probably made in the same factory.
