Scrappile Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Posted February 24, 2017 Received my plans yesterday for the Ascent clock from wooden-gear-clocks.com. Very nice blueprints to work with. The instructions are very well written. I'm excited to get going. However, I have three or four projects that I am currently working on that I should finish. Great news. I hope you will give us updates as you proceed. Quote

Karl S Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 O.K Heres an update I started cutting the parts out for the 'Creepy Bot" last Saturday, I worked some yesterday and some more today and I have finally got all the parts for this one cut. I now need to do some sanding to get rid of the fuzzies and a couple of places need cleaning up. Next thing I need to do is make a trip to my hardware store for the necessary rods screws,and tubes that I will need to assemble it I got the motor pretty quickly form amazon like in three days. So now all I need is luck and patitence Karl Quote
Scrappile Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) My update, I just started today. I'm doing the CB Walking Bot first. I have the plans for some of the parts glued to 1/4 BB, most of the holes for those parts drilled. Now I need to go to the store and get some 3/8" BB and some new drill bits, and start collect some screws, rod and tubes. Motors on order. But at least I got started!!

Gonzo Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Good luck and good patience to you, Karl and Scrappile. Looking forward to seeing them Quote
Scrappile Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Posted March 3, 2017 Well this evening I finished cutting all the parts out for my first robot. The little gears took some time and my fingers are really sore from holding onto them as I cut. They are just a little bigger than a quarter. Fun, fun, fun. Now I have to sand everything and start trying to find the hardware I need. My motors arrived in the mail today, I have not gone to pick them up yet. Casey Jourdan 1 Quote
Karl S Posted March 3, 2017 Report Posted March 3, 2017 Looks like you are making good progress, the parts look really good. I can imagine those small gears are hard to hold onto. Quote
Scrappile Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Posted March 3, 2017 I can see that walking already. Looking good. Quote
