Tuesday was a momentous day at Brese Plane. I managed to almost
completely negate what I had accomplished from Monday up until noon on
Tuesday. In one bonehead moment I completely destroyed my chances of
making this tool, and in the next moment I was back on top.
For
any of you who have read David Pye, just because machines are involved
does not mean there is no workmanship of risk. With digital readouts,
strings of decimals, and the tendency to invert figures (3.167 can
easily become 3.176) the workmanship of risk mostly takes place in the
mind, and not in the hand. Coming from a hands-on background, I would
much rather rely on my eyes and hands to create, than on the mind to
control a machine in a numerically controlled manner. I flunked Algebra
in high school and college.
The video tells more of the story.

ReplyDeleteGood recovery from the edge finder fubar. Did you nail one of those sides to the wall as a reminder? Since you have some extras, send me one, OK? ;-p
