Noah B Woodworks

I’ve been doing a lot of 3D printing this week, trying to get the camera chassis finished. I took a huge step forward two days ago when the biggest print in the project was successful. Now it’s a matter of getting the hardware from the hardware store, and finishing the last prints. I tried printing the housing for the monitor and the monitor arms yesterday but I was a few millimeters off on my measurements. Luckily this print takes less than two hours, so it’ll be fairly easy to get it done.

This weekend I’ll most likely try to go ice fishing in the morning on Friday, and then look to woodwork on Saturday morning. I’ll be attempting to make the tessellated box that I discussed in a previous blog post. It should be fairly straightforward. There’s an ice fishing expo near me that my brother invited me out to, so I’ll most likely be cut short woodworking this week even more than losing out on Fridays session. The goal is to get that box done, but I’ve got to do the carves, pour the epoxy, sand the epoxy, carve again, cut the joinery, glue everything together, cut the lid from the body then finally sand and finish. All things considered, unfortunately I believe it is a 2-3 day project. Maybe I can get out into the shop today or Thursday to make up for time lost ice fishing, or shift the work into the afternoon. Luckily, I’ve got a clear idea in mind as to what the box will look like.
