    CX706 sale price?

    The one you referenced is shows a photo of a BB CX706. The asking price of $3200 to me seems high as a new one is according to the BB website is $3399. When you add sales tax the cost would be $3840.87. To me there isn't seem much enticement to purchase that particular one. To me the machine in...

    Filtering funnel

    The cost of $16.32 CAD to me is a lot expensive considering the simple design and material cost. What I don't like about the design: i) the outside part of the funnel is not higher then the inside part so if you fill to fast or overfill the funnel the fluid is just going to spill over the...

    Machinery's 20th

    The thread I think was a probably designed and made to prevent others from using it in their products.

    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    That's my type of women. In my area the golden rule is the 3 "S's". We have everything from the small pouch panda's (raccon's) to cougar and bear.

That the parts except for the stretchable accordion apron used are my designs, done in Fusion 360 and 3D printed with a Bambu Lab X1C 3D Printer. 2...

    And I thought industrial sewing machines were expensive. For those prices I would want at least someone to read it to me.

    Pennsylvania A3 Switcher Errata

    I really really like your channel. The one called " Lathe Ways Cover - Lets Make One "was excellent. I hate the chips and other stuff getting into places that are hard to keep clean. So me being me, it caused me to make a simple solution that solved those problems as you outlined using the...

    Car designs suck

    Hopefully they didn't damage the battery bank. If a Killed In Action (KIA) go-cart battery bank costs $50K to replace I wonder what the cost would be for this one.
