dining room table

​I spent some time in the workshop today. These are the legs for a new dining room table I’m working on.  It’s based off this J Leg Table at Rogue Engineer. We both liked the table, it looked relatively easy to customize/make, and it seemed rather economical in parts. So I started to make plans. 

I needed a planer, so I found one on marketplace. It was a nice heavy Delta  22-560. It needed some light work, as one of the blades had a screw loose, had lifted off the cutterhead and had some build up under it. It didn’t cut flat.  After cleaning that up, and when lumber went to a resonance price, I purchased the wood for the legs.  They were planed and cut according to the template, sanded, and now assembled.

That’s what these are. The first assembly of the legs. It should look nice when done. 

Battery Boxes

 We have a pile of batteries around the house.  AA, AAA, D, 9 volt, coin, and they all make a mess in a box.  To help with this I searched Printables, Thangs, Thingiverse and didn't find anything I liked to store them.  So many of the boxes were just not right, or didn't have enough space, or some other thing.  So... I fired up Fusion and started to design my own.

In the design, I made it parameterized.  There are many variables entered into the design, but the primary ones are the diameter of the cell, the length of the cell, and the number of rows and columns in the box.  Other than that, the box will design itself, along with the box top.  These can then be exported to your slicer and printed.
