It's similar to a standard fingerboard but features special mounting holes for installing an Adafruit Feather. The deck was 3D printed using ColorFabb's PLA/PHA bambooFill (https://adafru.it/xub). This material is 70% colorfabb PLA and 30% recycled wood fibers. Fingerboard History From Wikipedia (https://adafru.it/xuc): A fingerboard is a working replica (about 1:8 scaled) invented by Jaken Felts, of a skateboard that a person "rides" by replicating skateboarding maneuvers with their hand. The device itself is a scaled-down skateboard complete with moving wheels, graphics and trucks.[1] A fingerboard is commonly around 10 centimeters long, and can have a variety of widths going from 29 to 33 mm (or more).

  • SETUP Setting up the Instrument Is the Last Stage of the Making Process
    --Michael Darnton/VIOLIN MAKING/Setup-- [This is a copy of one section of the forthcoming book tentatively titled Violin Making, by Michael Darnton, http://darntonviolins.com , downloaded from http://violinmag.com . It is an incomplete preliminary version, © 2009 by Michael Darnton. All publication rights, in any media are reserved. You may download one copy for personal use. No commercial use, commercial printing, or posting, either in whole or of substantial parts, in other locations on the internet or in any other form will be tolerated.] SETUP Setting up the instrument is the last stage of the making process, before the final adjustments. It involves all of the things that the strings touch, plus the soundpost—the final touches that make the instrument playable. In larger shops setup is often considered a specialty job, similar to bow rehairing, because it’s a critical skill different from making and restoration that benefits from constant repetition. Many makers, if they haven’t worked at some time in a shop doing a lot of setups, are minimally skilled at setup and treat it as the final impediment to getting an instrument playable and sold. Learning setup mimics learning to make: initially it is a job of numbers and measurements, discovering and doing something that works most of the time and is easily quantifiable in lists of dimensions. Only later does it blossom into a more creative and flexible discipline, determining in conjunction with adjustment the most precise aspects of how a violin performs. Because of this, there have been people in the violin world who have made famous reputations based primarily on their abilities at setup and adjustment.

  • MANUFACTURING an INHABITABLE CITY Contents
    FOR BEGINNERS MANUFACTURING AN INHABITABLE CITY Contents 3 What is Built InCommon? Case Studies 4 Who is Built InCommon for? 1.1 Park Road 5 Early thoughts of user groups 2.1 WikiHouse 6 Construction systems for 3.1 House De Wiek Built InCommon 4.1 Box House 7 What is the software and technology 5.1 We Can Make Homes that enables Built InCommon? 6.1 East Leeds Pavilion 8 Business models for Built InCommon 9 Micro Flying Factory 11 Case Studies: Getting started 12 Mapping the neighbourhood assets Offsite manufacturing – or “prefabrication” – of architectural elements, is becoming increasingly relevant, even urgent, to the development of our cities. As populations in cities rise, we need more sustainable, resilient and efficient housing, as well as more efficient and effective workplaces and public buildings. This raises questions about design for manufacture and construction – as well as questions about fast-track planning and architectural implications. This was the challenge proposed by The Royal Commission 1851 for their Urban Environment Fellowship 2017. Irena Bauman responded to the call with a proposal to examine disruptive business models for offsite manufacturing, that would remove the stigma of monotonous repetition which has dogged the industry since its inception, and reclaim social value in the process of fabrication and construction. Built InCommon for Beginners is one of the three outputs of the fellowship. There is also a video explainer of the concept and an introductory leaflet. All are available at www.builtincommon.org 2 What is Built InCommon? Built InCommon is an infrastructure for making buildings by the community, What is the Built InCommon for the community.

  • Comparison of Technical and Economic Parameters of Cutting of Solid Wood Panels with Numerically-Controlled and Traditional Woodworking Machines
    International Journal of Current Engineering and Technology ISSN 2277 - 4106 © 2013 INPRESSCO. All Rights Reserved. Available at http://inpressco.com/category/ijcet Research Article Comparison of Technical and Economic Parameters of Cutting of Solid Wood Panels with Numerically-Controlled and Traditional Woodworking Machines Muhamet Ymeria, Agron Bajraktaria, Sejdi Hoxhaa, Kushtrim Cukaja, Hektor Thomab* and Leonidha Peric a Department of Design and Wood Technology, Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of Prishtina, Kosova b Department of Wood Industry, Faculty of Forestry Sciences, Tirana, Albania c Department of Forestry, Faculty of Forestry Sciences, Tirana, Albania Accepted 10 October 2013, Available online 21 October 2013, Vol.3, No.4 (October 2013) Abstract The technology of wood mechanical processing has undergone positive changes, especially during the last two decades, achieving a rapid development through the application of advanced technologies. Numerically-controlled technology (CNC) has significantly improved technical and economic parameters, which has led to increased competitiveness of those companies that have installed this technology. The focus of this paper lies in the study of technical and economic parameters in cutting solid wood plates, used for the production of window frames, with CNC panel saw machines and with traditional saw-blade machines. The same cutting tool is used, cutting disc and pre-cutting disc, with the same geometry of the saw-blades cutting teeth for both machines. The study takes into account the cutting time of the constructive parts of the window frame, measured with the software of a CNC machine, and through a chronometer at the saw-disc machine. On the other side the costs of work force required for the operation are calculated.
