I will likely be moving to the dry-fit stage on the desk carcasses by the end of the month.

Additionally, my Shop-Vac 6 months old stopped working again and the workshop is now a complete dust-bowl.

Not healthy for anyone. Its my second Shop-Vac in 2 years. I need to solve the saw dust control problem once and for all and I do not think that Shop-Vac brand will be in the solution. More posts about that soon too. Comments Off on Happy Woodworking ! Sep Photos below. I made the base plate out of a scrap of cherry and purchased a clear cover that was intended for some sort of collectible. Works well and looks good. Posted in Gadgets and Gizmos , Nixie.

Comments Off on Nixie Clock is complete! Over the past few days I have nearly completed the Nixie clock…but not without some help from the kits creator Peter Jensen. Next step for me is to build the case, and then the clock is complete! I will post some photos when the case is finished. This project did exactly what I wanted it to do, it taught me to work with SMDs, and next time my workmanship on these tiny solders will be much prettier!

I highly recommend this kit. Aug An SMD is a small electronic component with many small pins down to 0. The pads are very close together, and you must be very careful to not cause solder "bridges" between the pads. For a machine, this installation is an easy job.

For a human it is more difficult…and for me it is VERY difficult. The following two web sites have SMD hand-soldering tutorials. Several different methods exist for soldering SMDs, and I will try a couple of them on this project.

This website shows the "flood and suck" method that Peter recommends for the Nixie kit:. The Nixie kit has two driver chips that require SMD soldering, and I successfully used the "flood and suck" method to install the first one, but I permanently damaged the second driver chip using this method. I learned that you NEVER use a sharp, pointed instrument to scrape out a solder bridge…you will destroy the chip or at least "I" will. Always use the copper braid removal method instead.

The latest issue of Make Magazine featured another Nixie Tube clock maker maker and his kits. His name is Peter Jensen and he operates www. A good definition of a Nixie tube is found on Wikipedia click here. According to Wikipedia:. Similar devices that functioned in the same way were patented in the s , and the first mass-produced display tubes were introduced in the late s by National Union Co. However, their construction was cruder, and they failed to find many applications until digital electronics reached a suitable level of development in the s.

LEDs are better suited to the low voltages that integrated circuits used, and are much smaller and sturdier without needing a sealed glass tube. Nixie tubes now only exist as a novelty for electronics hobbyists. I ordered one from Peter, and the kit is of excellent quality with well labeled parts and great instructions. I began the kit a couple of night ago and will report again as I make progress.

A lot has changed recently, not the least of which is that I have changed jobs. This has been a great change for me, and I am really enjoying the University atmosphere and the increased exposure to fellow tinkerers. Although, I have to admit that they are all at a significantly higher level of "tinkering" than I am!

Enough about that, this blog is not about work! I am trying to use a method that was explained in a recent issue of Fine Woodworking Magazine. This method allows you drill traditional round holes into the mahogany and then insert square ebony pegs with short round dowels attached to the backs into the round holes.

Thereby reducing some of the gaps that may show in a traditional "mortised"peg hole at least when done by an amateur like me. I need to work on this method a bit more. Posted in Gadgets and Gizmos , Science , Woodworking. Comments Off on Changes! Jul
