2011 - A new year and some goals

Well, this blog is intended to be the documentation for all the weird projects and DIY inventions that I undertake. I haven't gotten around to publishing anything yet and this doesn't look very good, but that's one of the projects. Anyway, here are the projects that I intend to start, continue, or complete in 2011:

  • Survival knife - I've got a good start on my first one, after I finish it, I'll try actually forging one.
  • Skiing animated short film - A little project I started a couple years ago that didn't get off the ground. I've got the script and storyboard on some scratch paper somewhere. I'm hoping for the release of Blender 2.6 to come out before I finish it.
  • Auto glock - no, not a gun, but a robotic glockenspiel. I have all the parts and tools I need and luckily painstakingly cut each bar and tuned it a few years ago. It's just sitting collecting dust.
  • ROV sea turtle - I at least want to get this started. A robotic submarine sea turtle capable of 100m depths. A fusion of a realistic looking sea turtle model and a fully featured ROV on the cheap.
  • Theremin?
If I can get this list done this year, I win a million points.

    Kyle, A guy from work sent me some info on theremin antennae. It appears that they can be made from 3/8" copper tubing (if I remember correctly)

    If you want to make a tube theremin, I have a power transformer and several used tubes laying around that would work for the project. I've emailed you some info....
