The next task is to shorten this big post by 15 mm. It’s 263x24x17 cm.
I don’t have a functional crosscut saw for that, in fact I seem not to have a saw filed crosscut at all, so I’m going to turn my widest saw (and second longest after Frankenstein) into a big crosscutter, and I’ll use it for heavy timbers and small logs in the shop.
But first I need to restore it, hopefully, and that begins by making a split-nut driver to get these big saw bolts off.
Three projects in one!

These old brass bolts and nuts are fantastic. The nuts and bolt caps are beveled disks.
The bolts have a single wide rib under the cap to prevent spinning. I don’t know if that’s better than square shank (probably not), but it seems to work good.
I’m struck by the notion that these nuts, at least, would be easy to make by hand, but the bolts would be much harder without a lathe.
If somebody had a lathe, though, and wanted to make a little cash on the side, I’d bet these babies would sell.

With that rib it's almost impossible to turn a piece like that on a lathe.
Nowadays it would be a perfect job for a CNC mill, however.

Considering this saw is easily a 100+ years old, how would they have done it?
Maybe they had a strong press with a stamping die that simply took brass rods and brute-forced their ends into that shape. Don’t know.
The rib is important, though. Without that they’d be near useless.

@16af93 It's open as far as they can! The system-on-a-chips aren't fully open but every part MNT makes is, and the boards and form factor and etc all have open schematics

@morrolinux @lorenzodm @tizianomattei @linux
Sono andato a controllare, l'ultima notizia "pubblica" risale a marzo, ultimo status update invece ad agosto sul server Discord per abbonati e Patreon del suo canale personale
Non c'è ancora nessuna build scaricabile
Io in caso mi sono abbonato su YouTube sia per supportarlo perché mi piacciono i suoi video e quello che fa, sia per gli "every-now-and-then-ly" aggiornamenti su Olive

@lindasartini eh la Fucina Fibonacci ha chiuso lo scorso dicembre. Senza drammi e senza debiti 😂 È per quello che da allora posto come un ossesso! Ogni tanto metto online qualcosa dei nostri spettacoli. Sì, il reperimento delle fonti non è stato facile. Anche perché, come immaginerai, se non ero sicuro di quello che dicevamo in scena rischiavamo. E anche quando lo ero!

@cwebber I believe "carrier" means the airline, not the passport holder, so I wouldn't be *too* reassured

@cwebber is this open hardware or "open" hardware? cuz having a laptops and other mobile devices with open standards for which others can make parts would be great
