    For those who are using Fusion, the GridfinityGenerator plugin by Lev Mishin is pretty powerful. If you use it to generate the base grids, you can specify the size of the base width/length if you want them to be a custom division of whatever your drawer size is. You can also add "padding" to...

    I may be coming into an oscilloscope that I'm not sure that I need. If I do get it and can't put it to use, I'll pass it on to you if you're interested. If Lucas is taking a liking to electronics, it's a great tool to have to troubleshoot circuits and even just investigate them. You can often...

    As a Solidworks user of 25 years, I admit that I was feeling curmudgeonly about switching to Fusion360. My uses for SW definitely didn't put me into the power-user category, but is was always useful to prove out geometry for machined parts and assemblies. Fusion360 has been in use for a couple...

    Have you been sucked into the Gridfinity system yet? If you end up with Fusion 360, there's a plugin for it that allows you to quickly design Gridfinity boxes and then you can edit them further in Fusion if you so desire. https://github.com/Le0Michine/FusionGridfinityGenerator?tab=readme-ov-file

    Did someone mention starting a thread titled, "Damn it, Gregor!" where we can all commiserate about all of the things we've purchased or become interested in as a result of this thread? It's a good thing I don't have money or space for hi fi gear. I'd love to see a schematic of that crossover...

    Killer work! It looks amazing! You get high marks for working with the teak veneer too.

    Speaking of cords...do you make your own? It could be another satisfying rabbit hole. They can be exactly the length you need them to be, you can get some shrink tube labels if you have a TZe label printer, a little marine grade shrink tube and some and expandable sleeve for paired wires and...

    You're killin' me! Clocking tire logo's and valve stems doesn't matter much anymore with tubeless tires. Now it's reserved for us tweaky types. I'm glad you saved your energy for veneer matching. That IS actually important.

    Pretty much. Just depends on how deep in the weeds you want to go and what your preferences are. If you're really picky (like I am) it's not always easy to find something that ticks all the boxes of expected maintenance, stiffness, pedal kickback, tire clearance, suspension behavior, max...

    It'll be fun. We'll make something cool and I have no doubt your first bike will be amazing. When you told me you got her an Ibis Mojo with 26" wheels, I was imagining it was one of the steel ones from the 90's with the sweet paintjobs. The one you got is pretty kitted out! Once she learns...

    Hey everyone. I just returned from visiting Gregor in June of 2025. I thought I'd share this video of him playing guitar with you all

    That's so much better than a Caprice wagon!

    Sorry about your truck Gregor...that's a huge bummer. I had a '98 V70 T5 (Bobo) and have to say that I really loved that car until it started having electrical problems in 2013 and was too unreliable at a time when I needed reliable for the kids. I have a VERY unsexy opinion...Honda minivans...

    Mike's stuff is a bargain considering what they're making. IMO, he could double his prices but part of his ethos is to make it here and keep it affordable. He's a genuinely talented, genuinely decent human being. I met him in Austin at a bike show when he was working at Vanilla and our kids...
