" These released juvenile specimens, out of a total of 700 planned for Floreana, will be introduced gradually. According to Christian Sevilla, director of ecosystems of the Galapagos National Park, they carry between 40% and 80% of the genetic makeup of the Chelonoidis niger —a species that has been extinct for 150 years."

Got round to finishing the latest lantern. Some small holes repaired in the tank and she’s all good now.
Meanwhile, back on the #CylinderPlayer project. I found an Edison speed governor that turned out not to be from the same model of player (different threading for the connection with the mandrel gear) but the weights were compatible so I put them on this machine's original governor. And now things are running pretty nicely.

Finally got to take my scavenged 54 year old bike out for a test ride after fixing it up. It's actually pretty nice!
Things it needed:
- New tires & tubes and some rim tape
- Lube in the cables, calipers, and shifter
- Shifter adjustment
- Bodged together fulcrum sleeve and brake cable clamp
Altogether about $50 in parts and a couple hours of fiddling around, and now it's a bike again.
(Lots of cosmetic issues but that can be someone else's problem.)
if these targets are achieved, much hope will come to the #ocean

TIL about the fact that a yacht can be purchased for USD1 with caveats
- It's rotten to the core
- It's a hundred years old
- It will cost high wood working skills with specialization in boat yacht & ship building (legacy high skills)
- It will take a ASTRONOMICAL ammount of time to rebuild from the bottom up
keel to mast - Many unforseen events shall occur
- The reward shall be incalculable
Quote:
I purchased the boat TALLY HO for $1 in 2017 and moved it to a friends house to start work. I didn't know how I would fund the project but luckily my YouTube videos picked up some momentum and people started wanting to get involved. Eventually the whole rebuild process was funded by its online audience - through donations, patrons, volunteers, and many other acts of kindness. I'm so grateful to have been able to facilitate the rebirth of this historic vessel and I'm honoured to now live on board.
The next challenge - sail halfway around the world to compete (100 years later) in the same race that she won in 1927

O.k. i know, this one is wild ... but hear me out!
We all know about the tragic loss of the original 3d data and files used to create all those awesome space scenes and battles..
But what if we could use one of the modern ""AIs"" to scan trough the whole of all babylon 5 and reproduce the 3d meshes, pixelclouds and textures for us?
That could. maybe, be one at least not completely meaningless task for those energy monsters....... Mh ;)
What do you think?
When working with a fringe hobby such as mine and using a 3D printer, I often get comments like "Isn't that part like $19? Why bother fiddling with a 3D printer". While technically true, I'm not really after the money saving angle here. A pinball machine has a LOT of parts and owning over 30 of them means pretty insane parts stock.
What usually breaks or wears out is very well known and a lot of it is compatible with a wide range of machines, such as coil sleeves and rubbers. Those I buy. But then there are unique parts, that were used only in a specific machine. Often those parts can be found with a web search, but they're not in stock anywhere or they'll take up to a month to arrive in this corner of the world. There's also cases where a tiny plastic part can fail, but you can only buy the whole assembly for $200.
Being able to just print one means the game is back in the action often in hours and at least in my designs I don't just clone the parts, I also try to see why they break and make them sturdier and easier to install. I also hope more people would be inspired to share theirs, so there'd be a printable parts library out there when needed.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand... Sharpening the saw which was originally sold out if the storefront next to where the Blues Brothers had their apartment, which I purchased this morning for $5, the saw now cuts nicely! I will go and wax it next time I use it, as well. #tools #restoration #saw
So, what I think I see there, is...
No. 95
THIS SAW HANDMADE FROM
COLD SPRING STEEL
PATENT GROUND AND TEMPERED
FULLY WARRANTED
STEBBINS HARDWARE CO.
CHICAGO
I don't know how deep the manufacturer's imprint goes, so only removed a bit of rust so it's readable. #saw #restoration
So as I was removing rust, an imprint of the manufacturer appeared.... #restoration #tool #saw
