CNC mills do a lovely job of cutting keyhole slots.These are exciting because the bit is trapped in the material so it doesn't have any room for errors.

Tradition!

Mini project: rounded t-slots cut in walnut. This is for hanging oil paint tubes. I wrote u shaped tool paths and learned a lot about minimizing tear out on the climb side, by cutting half the tool depth into the wood, and then offsetting to do a conventional cut that comes out into the area I already cut. Steel is so much easier.

@smellsofbikes There's a Coyote on the Couch would make a great children's book.

Tonight I learned a bunch more about work offsets in LinuxCNC. But: I have a power strip with individual switches for outlets so I can power off the motion control hardware so it doesn't overheat, and the individual switches each had two tiny screws in tension into two tiny plastic standoffs, and one broke. I could 3d print a support bracket but I could also use a coping saw and some pine to build a compression support for the switch.Stupid side quests.

Things I just now learned: garter snakes have mildly neurotoxic venom, AND ALSO can ingest many toxic amphibians and reptiles and accumulate their toxins in the garter snake's organs, thus making garter snakes both venomous and poisonous.(All of this was only discovered in the last 20 years.)

40km biking at lunch today including this fun encounter #weirdbikemastodon

I learned a fun Indian English slang term today, "chuddi buddies", where chuddi is slang for underwear and the overall term means someone who represents that they're so close to someone else that they'd be comfortable sharing underwear.I love snippets like this.

And then it gets boiled to seal the dye in and put to use. This is a stem compression cap for aheadset style bearings.
