Have a little laugh on me February 10, 2009 01:01PM |
I was milling the thrust plate for my pneumatic stepper motor and had got about 75% of the way through when I decided that I needed to take a few video clips and snapshots of the thing taking shape.
Things went well until while taking a last set of shots the strap on the camera got snagged on the corner of the xy milling table without me noticing. When I stood up for a final shot the strap pulled the milling table off it's tracks and the end mill started chewing through the thrust plate at an alarming rate.
I'm taking that damned strap off of the camera!

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
