This is going to be strange

This will probably be mostly about my android project and website.

tools aquired lately

I bought some two part epoxy, and a 44 piece precision screwdriver bit set at Walmart for my electric precision screwdriver. Did not find out it wasn’t the right size untill I opened it but it came with a regular handle; I will just have to buy another set, not too bad for $7 but I will have to do better to have any sort of chance with this project. I don’t remember why exactly I bought the epoxy but my plastic tool box isn’t very sturdy and there are couple of places that need repair so I won’t waste it if it turns out it was a mistake on my tool list. Also got scruby pads that were on the list.Those were only $1.



This month’s aquisitions

I bought a work mat that is supposed to be anti-static but for $12 I am not expecting a whole lot. Also an electric precision screwdriver for $20 and 6″ digital caliper for $30. With what I purchased last month that’s $82. Eventually I will need a lathe and mill with accesories and that will probably cost about $3,500.00. A place to put the lathe and mill ( home machine shop ), Home Office ( empty bedroom ) and a Lab to put it all together in is just beyond my resources at the moment. For the Lab I will need a large enough room for a Hover Round to roll around in since the robot will start off riding in it until I can make it walk. The Hover Round will probably also be used as a charging station.
