Adventures in Laser Cutting: Protection Devices
So when my Laser cutter got here, one of the first things I noticed is that my water pump was not the best of the batch, and had an issue starting up. Seeing as how it was so silent, I'd probably not be able to tell if the pump was running or not from sound alone. A dead pump means I could lose my tub in a matter of hours, as opposed to months or years.
So I found these little flow meters on Ebay with a self contained thermometer. I thought I give them a whirl, so I picked up a 5V power supply and all the incidentals.

Scale Model Animation
Model Railroading is a terrific hobby for me because it excites many of my own interests including railroading (of course), scale modeling, history, electronics, photography, geology, and animation – to name a few. But it is animation—bringing the models to life—that brings it all together for me, and brings the most satisfaction.
Repacking Model Railroad Engine Boxes
Like a lot of other model railroaders I have a number of locomotives that need to be repacked in new boxes. I have a dozen or so boxes which over the years have been damaged by moisture and water damage. I did buy a couple of paper boxes from the local stationary store but they just look cheap.
