The real question is, what did he use to make the tools to make the shoes?

My teeth naturally.

I've made a bunch of stuff lately, but I just finished one project I'm pretty happy about. I made some tools and with those tools, I made shoes. They don't look very good, but they are comfortable and most importantly, the construction seems solid. The next pair should be much better. I'll post a better picture of the finished shoes once I get my camera back.

That chair is awesome! I have been toying around with a very similar construction (two L profile plywood pieces mirrored) in my head every now and then, but couldn't think of a smart way to connect the legs/back rest. It looks like you figured out a very nice way of doing it! You should definately send it to Dezeen etc. With a little work it would definitely make a very good product

Edit- it was boring and offtopic.

But yeah Cole, most likely I used wrong terminology, I haven't really read much about weaponry in English.

what is holding the vertical suports to the wood?

At the moment, just friction (in the prototype the tolerances are very tight). But I've designed a clip that hooks onto the vertical supports and keeps them from falling out. It's hard to explain without a photo (which I don't have).

I just bought a nos RNC lite sprocket (28t). Will it fit my first generation Wombolts? (I've been out of the bmx thing for awhile. Can't wait to start riding again)

Brooks seats aren't track seats, so no it isn't "proper". It is comfortable, though. I ride a Swift on my road bike, but wouldn't put one on a track bike. Commuters and ss/fixed bikes used on streets are a different story.

I've always sorted wanted one of those since you can shoot 1/2 of full frames on it.

Actually it seems the half frame function is only on the first Auto-Reflex, it was dropped on the T2 and T3.

I have 2 T3 frames. I was going to offer you one of them for the cost of postage (since I have no use for them), but you probably wouldn't want it as it doesn't have the half frame function.

Vacuum bags are great for prototyping, but a proper 2 sided press is better if you actually want to make something functional imo.

I have also made a bunch of mockups with a single sided press and a very strong fabric that you "pull" over the veneers. Compared to the vacuum bag I've used, the fabric method actually provides more pressure and is easier to control (not to mention much cheaper).

So I've been thinking about one of those or a GF1 recently since I could use my nokton on it with a mount.
How is it?

I like it a lot (especially with the Panasonic lens). Only big downfall is the lack of a viewfinder (I'm not used to using the screen to compose shots). I'm going to get the VF-1 external finder to fix that.

If you get a E-P2 or E-PL1 you can get the digital finder which works with all lenses, shows focus and exposure data etc.
