I messed around to see if metal spinning with rigid tooling on an engine lathe could work. I think it can, but it's not easy. In the process I developed a new shot: The Russian Donkey. One part Vodka, one part copper cuttings and red hot cuss words to taste.

Cold welding in outer-space is a hot topic in my inbox. I experimented with gold and stainless steel to see if I could get them to cold weld here on Earth. I test the pure gold and 304 stainless because you asked me to use materials that don't oxidize. Even though stainless actually does oxidize, it still cold welds. Those familiar with heavy industry will recognize a common problem with seized stainless steel bolts. What is cold welding? Here's an explanation: https://youtu.be/Y2nQ8isf55s

We take a close look at the Milwaukee 1/2" impact wrench to see it's build quality. I'll try to fix it, but It's worn out after 300 hours of heavy industrial use. We'll see why at the end of the vid. The mechanism itself is very robust, but it has a couple weak points that made this gun crap out. My DeWalt has about the same amount of time on it. It doesn't hit as hard as the Milwaukee lithium ion, but it's ten years older.

A drawing robot. That is all.

NYC CNC did a good vid on the same topic, different application a few years ago: https://youtu.be/RakXequOrSY
THANKS FOR POINTING OUT MY MISTAKE! "count less than or equal to pulseset" caused it to turn 2401 steps. You can see a little ridge in the part where it goes too far. Fixed by removing equal. "count less than pulseset"

Wiring connections
Arduino Pin 8 to stepper driver pulse +5V
Arduino Pin 9 to stepper driver direction +5V
Arduino Ground to stepper driver signal ground Pulse -ve, Dir -ve, enable -ve
Arduino +5 volts to on/off switch to stepper driver enable +5V

Helpful hints:
1. Pick the size of motor you need for the torque/power you need. Don't know? FIND OUT!
2. Determine the voltage and current of the stepper motor.
3. Determine the stepper motor driver that will power your stepper motor with some extra fudge factor (this stuff is cheap). Big Easy driver or Adafruit motor shield for small stuff. "CNC stepper driver" for big stuff.
4. Determine the power supply you need for the input power, voltage and current your stepper needs. Add extra fudge factor.
5. Get an Arduino. (Like you don't already have 3 of them kicking around).
6. Cut and Paste the code to the Arduino IDE; upload to Arduino.
7. Hook up wires per the diagram on the stepper driver box and the Arduino Sketch.
8. Hook up a switch from +5V from Arduino to the "enable" terminal of the stepper motor.
9. Hook up all 5V signal ground from the stepper driver (negative) to the arduino ground.
10. Set the stepper driver DIP switches for the max current, holding torque and steps per revolution you require.
11. Triple check your work. Cross your fingers and toes. Plug in the power and hit the "enable" switch.

Heating bread in an oxygen deficient atmosphere turns it into a carbon foam. Carbon foam is an excellent insulator and in this case, a workable foundry. ????Safety Squint T-Shirt! https://teespring.com/SafetySquints_us

I've been using this MSR water filter for 10 years. It's better than the Lifestraw and better than the Katadyn. Boiling is the best option, but you have to make a fire and wait for it to cool. Chemical purifiers are a good backup, but taste like ass.

Errata: Strain in austenitic 304 causes martensite formation NOT ferrite. Both M & F are magnetic. It seams that martensite formation is not depended wholly on carbon (304 has very little) but on strain, either from thermal or mechanical. THANKS ANDREW!
We see what's inside the Yeti. It's got interesting internal features like copper plating and a weird ferrite bead. We also go full geek on what makes stainless 304 non-magnetic and corrosion resistant.
