More Is Said Than Done: July 2014

http://moreissaidthandone.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

More Is Said Than Done. The eclectic blog of Marc Auerbach. Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Bicycle Light and Horn. Except for some old Citroen models car headlights are fixed to the body of the car and don't move with the wheels. So why is it that bike lights attach to the handlebars and not the frame? To control the lo-beam/hi-beam array I needed a watertight switch. I found this one, meant for a moped, on Ebay for $5. Electric horn (a seriously loud horn: top of photo) just for fun.

More Is Said Than Done: May 2012

http://moreissaidthandone.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

More Is Said Than Done. The eclectic blog of Marc Auerbach. Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Accused of having a tendency to repair things too well (i.e. taking the quirkiness and "character" out of them in the process of making them function better), I thought this might be a chance to prove I was capable of building something without sanding the history out of it. So here it is. It used up almost all the wood and the only other material was for the drawer. And here it is in Alice's office. Things Made of Wood.

More Is Said Than Done: SONY NEX OVERHEATING: Final Tests

More Is Said Than Done. The eclectic blog of Marc Auerbach. Sunday, March 18, 2012. SONY NEX OVERHEATING: Final Tests. I've collected more data than is shown here, but this sort of sums it up. For analysis see my follow-up posting. SD VERSUS MEMORY STICK &. Click on image to enlarge. Basically this graph shows that my NEX-5N runs cooler on AC and on Sony's best 32 GB memory stick. Even so, the effect on continuous recording time is small. TRYING VARIOUS TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE TEMPERATURE. I own an NEX-5N a...

More Is Said Than Done: My First Katana

http://moreissaidthandone.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-first-katana.html

More Is Said Than Done. The eclectic blog of Marc Auerbach. Tuesday, December 27, 2011. Five days before Christmas I decided to make a Japanese samurai sword as a gift for a 10-year old. For anyone attempting to do this I am eternally indebted and can't recommend highly enough the video series from DAPiratecaptain, Wooden Katana Tutorial. Finished, but unpainted blade. Walnut bonded to maple. I thought the width of the walnut was closer to the 2" of the maple. If I'd had more time I would have la...I the...

More Is Said Than Done: January 2012

http://moreissaidthandone.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

More Is Said Than Done. The eclectic blog of Marc Auerbach. Sunday, January 15, 2012. For years I have been continually frustrated by all my attempts at storing sand paper. Of late I tried creating dividers in a milk crate, but invariable the paper would slump to the bottom and the whole box would be a mess with the 5" sanding discs for the electric sander. I've had a design for a box in mind for quite some time, but just now had some time to slam it together. It still needs some drawer knobs (maybe?

More Is Said Than Done: Franklin Stove Restoration

More Is Said Than Done. The eclectic blog of Marc Auerbach. Sunday, October 3, 2010. Parts Some painted others cleaned and waiting. Cleaning is best done by sand blasting, but after I found out it wasn't an antique I decided to clean it myself (more time, less money). I used Marine Clean and Metal Ready, the most amazing metal prep solutions I've ever used. Then painted with POR-15 on the hearth and mantle and Stove Bright for the rest. All the nuts and bolts were replaced with stainless steel. Click on ...
