Projects to write about.

Ah! Finally a place to write a comment for this new Blog!

This is to be a place for me to post my projects of various kinds. Some finished, some in progress, some speculative, and some failed. I will try to say which is which. Don't expect perfect grammar or presentation. The true goal is to just get this stuff out there and hopefully allow others to use some ideas that I liked.

Me... I am in my mid 50's, I am female, and yes I love to work on all sorts of things. I tinker with almost anything. I love wood working but have branched out to various cold worked metal projects, wire-work(mostly decorative), lapidary, gardening, and computers of various sorts... I reserve the option to add or subtract from this list without notice. LOL!

As a short list of things I wish to document here I supply the following:
Gypsy shelf crates with enhanced Gypsy shelving
Gypsy shelf double wide drawers
Computer peripheral shelf (cord friendly)
Small prototype Paulk workbench- built for testing before the large bench to test out ideas. (partial success, partial failure)
Shop enhanced Paulk workbench
DIY Recumbent trike (failed)
Behemoth box computer build
Wood box server build
Home audio rack
2x4 Home video audio shelf (an old design, clunky and will only be presented as drawing)
2x4 Box shelf- for storage racks... It holds boxes... minimalist and keeps stuff off damp floors
Indoor hammock rack
Outdoor tensegrity hammock rack (not original to me but very cool nevertheless.)
Home TV stand- built and designed by hubby but I figure it will go here too.
Platform bedstead-built by hubby based on one of my old designs... I will present both
Small prototype Paulk workbench- built for testing before the large bench to test out ideas. (partial success, partial failure)
Camp kitchen (a blue sky design)-Made in tandem and in cooperation with hubby.
Camper couch redo (a project in planning and design phase)
Camper bed extension- a hubby plan that works and is elegantly simple
Ranger pickup topper/camper platform (limited success and just comments with pictures)
Mini router table (small table) a case of needing a tool to make a tool.
Rebuild of a small extension of the house - just some pictures for fun.
Fencing build in sand and fines... just a little bit different to work up. Hubby mostly
Aluminum foundry- an ongoing project that needs attention
Lumber rack -teamwork over time with hubby
Small shed-a future project in the planning.
ok.... thats it for now. Hubby calling to go to the locksmith...

Recumbent tadpole trike: Posts on Velomobileforum p.10

I have recently built about 4 possible versions of the tilting mechanism I have beem toying with in my very informal test stand. Here are some pictures of the one I think will work the best. This is pretty much like I think it will be on the actual trike. The orientation on the outer tilting assembly may change a bit but it will be very similar to this. The shocks that are visible should be the ones I use. The tilt arm on the center shaft will be very similar. At this point I have gotten the general outline of what I want to do sketched out in my mind. I have another bathroom to work up and a garage shop to work up before I get back to this little project. Time to get some of the things I put off during the winter done so I can get back to the trike. The things I have been figuring out lately have been the way to get my steering kingpins made and I think that by using a female heim joint and a longer bolt with a spacer to hold the extension of the...

Recumbent tadpole trike: Posts on Velomobilforum p.4 In response to Wolf and Hein, First Wolf's comment. What I am aware of is that there are quite a few tilters that do not use a monolithic steering system and have in fact decoupled the tilt in order to get the system to be stable. The brake application to the tilt is in fact an effort to stabilize the tilt. I am just before work here and have very little time to comment but I will try to cite examples later. Below is a general view of the Aileron tilting trike made by Wayne Soohoo it is pretty obvious wher the trike tilts. He controls the tilt by using a brake released with the steering handles. This is what I based my thoughts on for the theoretical spaceframe tilter. Instead of a remote release I think something like a direct brake would work as well. These data where gathered from http://jetrike.com/prior-art.html#Kurvenleger There are a quite a number of swing arm designs at this site. The above is the c...

Recumbent tadpole trike: Posts on Velomobilforum p.8

Hello Hein, Titan Wolf, trike like (Martin?) and Stephan (shs2_de) It has been a couple of weeks since I was able to remark on what I have been doing with the idea of a tilting space frame trike and I have some things to share. I have built another new prototype of a tilting mechanism and have already come up with a new version. Interestingly enough my newest designs bears a great resemblance to what Stephan (shs2_de) worked on with his suspension system at the beginning of this forum file. It may be interesting to Stephan and others to see a modification of that suspension system. I have also spent a considerable time with my husband and a friend remodeling our 2 bathrooms as well as working overtime… Sigh real life… enough said on that subject. Before I much go on I want to address a couple of comments from Wolf. I read your comment on obstacles in the road and thought about that in terms of tilting and locking the tilt mechanism. First I think that a tilting trike (1 st te...
