Brickshelf is shutting down. Let's try to save it.
weavil replied to Trekkie99's topic in General LEGO Discussion
This is sad news, but hopefully it can stay up. Here is Kevin's Brickshelf page. I came across it long ago when doing "random" on the site. The numbers in "()" tell what order a person joined. If Eurobrick people can't complete an archive, I think people on Reddit's Data Hoarder group could help. -

Thank you. I used 99% of my panels and it's heavy. -
[MOC] NASCAR Hauler
weavil posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It's been a while, but the year finished before I got time to post, so here it is! This a NASCAR hauler for the NASCAR Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro. (or two) This thing is super heavy. It has one motor for the ramp and one motor for the landing gear. It feature an office/lounge, cabinets, and work benches. We are going to ignore the miss match colors inside, had no budget to match. Also included is AC units and satellite TV. More Pictures Here. Here is the video of the loading. -

Getting caught up as well. Great to see your progress. Credit to the writing of the last post. If I knocked them off like that, I would have cried. -
[MOC] Lego Lathe

The tail center spins, but the material is too soft and had to use a cone piece. Thank you. -
[MOC] Lego Lathe
weavil replied to weavil's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I made a "fix" for the chuck sag issue. I added a large turntable. I didn't add it at first because I wasn't sure about how to connect the chuck to it and how it would work with added friction. It works, but even with a very light oil it still has quite a bit of friction. Works fine on the two lowest speeds and starts popping gears on the other speeds. I will work on it in the next week or so. Here is the pictures of the changes. -

@Lego Tom I guess I will add that to list the project list! -
[MOC] Lego Lathe
weavil replied to weavil's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thank you. Its not normal cause its not a car, truck, or heavy equipment. Thank you. I was thinking of later doing an updated version with a the chuck attached to a turn table for a hole for long stuff. -

Floral foam as I wanted to use Lego parts for the cutter and its soft enough. Thank you. -
[MOC] Lego Lathe
weavil replied to weavil's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thank you. I try to build the not so normal stuff. Thank you. That was kind of hard. Small knives have blunt tips and swords are too long. Thank you. I had seen on a larger one someone built, but it was big and bulky. So I managed to make a smaller version. Thank you -
After a busy last year I finally finished my Lego Lathe. I have a WIP folder sowing most of the changes through the year when I had time to build. I had wanted to do a machinist lathe, but not a huge build like the few videos I had found. So at this scale I was able to fit lots of functions into the build and still be strong. It has: 8 total speeds for the chuck 2 speed for the auto feed, plus forward, reverse, and neutral Moving and lock tail stock Can engage the apron (tool holder part) with 2 speeds or neutral Uses a wrench with a flat end as the cutting tool with the flat part I have made free instructions available here! More pictures here. Please enjoy!

This looks fantastic. They did great work with the details and I love the easter eggs.

My god! Love the way you described the whole situation! Maybe they fled across the border? Looking great on your progress. Keep up the good work and an eye out for anymore escapees. Yes it bother me so much, BUT I'll let it slide for grum64. Everyone else better not slip up. -
Love the model and TailSpin popped in my head at the first picture. Then I seen you added the reference.

Looking great! It's always nice watching you work at it and see your progress. Don't worry about how long it takes you to build it. You're keeping active where as a lot of people with conditions give up and just sloth along in life. We here might not comment on each post, but enjoy your determination! I've been away from Lego and here for a month now and probably another month, as I'm helping my mom with her broken leg. So time away helps clear the head for ideas.
