The entire Projects section is being reworked to deal with copyright violations and to better meet both our needs. The public portion of the fluidyne project section and a passive solar heating panel page can be reached by clicking on the "Home" link below and then following the appropriate link on the DeSoto Solar home page. I hope to make at least the project pages below available again soon, but don't have much inclination to work on the needed image server while my content is still being made available on other web sites by pirates. | |
| An inexpensive Linux-based data acquisition system using the NSLU2 and USB-based "one wire" network sensors for monitoring and tracking performance of solar heating panels. |
| A strong, stable three-legged sawhorse that doubles as a mini-workbench. |
| A tilting shop cart that can be used as an open-top sanding/assembly bench and infeed/outfeed table. |
| A clamp for assembly of drawers and boxes. |
| Radial arm saw table replacement and a number of enhancements. |
| A quick and easy table saw outfeed table. |
| Table saw crosscut sled. |
| Table saw sled for ripping the first true edge on a rough-sawn board. |
|
A simple table saw jig for making accurate lap joints quickly. |
| Table saw jig for making box joints. |
| Drill press table enhancements. |
| A fast, easy way to do precision setups on the router table. |
| An inexpensive small cyclone dust collector for use with a ShopVac. |
| Designing and building a precision (0.00023 inch step size) 3½-Axis CNC router for joinery operations (JBot). |
| Two pallet-type work-holders for CNC routing. |
| Some of the T-track workholders I've designed and made in/for my workshop. |
| Simple vacuum clamps that I made to use with a recycled refrigerator compressor (as a vacuum pump) to hold flat workpieces for CNC routing. The web page is a five-step how-to DIY. |
| Bevel fixture for angled CNC edge routing. I built this to cut angled tenons on the ends of boards. |
| A CNC-only rack-proof lap joint/splice. Interesting to me because it tightens with either increase or decrease in moisture content of the wood. |
| A simple CNC router 3-foot x 12-foot sign-making project from start through installation. Shows an interesting 4½-foot wide clamp I built for splicing sheet goods. |
| Various CNC geometry and data reference pages. |
