QueenBee pro CNC router Electrical diagram

So here is the electrical diagram you asked for: I have a couple of words of explanation to go along with the diagram as well. I created the diagram to lay out all the power electronics and the main power distribution of the QueenBee Pro CNC. This means that there are no terminal numbers or […]

How to build a 350 kg squat stand

Once again I have managed to cobble together something in my garage. The whole Covid situation have caused all home-gym equipment to sell out here in Sweden. And from what I understand it is about the same everywhere. All left over equipment is either bad or ridiculously overpriced. So I decided to take matters into […]

New Tig torch setup with stubby gas lens

Another video is live now. In it you will see me replace one of my old Tig torches with a brand new one and also installing a stubby gas lens kit. If you haven’t used one before I can highly recommend it. If you have any comments or suggestions you want to make don’t hesitate […]

Air Compressor rebuild part 1

In this video you will see me rebuilding an old air compressor that I got for free. It was disassembled and in a barely usable condition when I got it but in the end it turned out alright. There are still some things left to do on it so keep an eye out for part […]

The Norweld TIG 180 Part 1&2

So I’ve published a couple of more videos. In them I show how I cleaned up an old pulsed DC TIG and got it back into working order. I also talk a bit about troubleshooting, and repairing electronics while I’m at it. I still have a lot to learn and I have already invested in […]

It has been a long time in the making but now it is finally here. The companion video to my articles in the PID regulator series. It isn’t much and there are some things I will do differently in the future but for a first video I have to say I am pleased with it. […]

If you’ve read about the purpose of this page you know that I partly started this website to learn web development and how to manage a web site. And the management part is really easier than I thought but then again I don’t really know what I expected. I mean it just sits there, you […]

Machine building the smart way

Let me start of by saying that I am not a traditionally trained mechanical engineer, I have studied several subjects that are the same as what mechanical engineers study but I don’t have a degree as a one. I think this might be an advantage when it comes to building machines, cause even if I […]

Sequence programming in C/C++ part 2: Memories

Last time I showed you how to program a sequence that is progressed by increasing a counter variable (Part 1), when a condition is fulfilled we increase the counter variable by one to progress the sequence. A similar type of sequence programming is to use memories instead of a counter so that each memory represents […]
