A backlog?

No, I don't have a backlog... Well, OK, yes I do. I've been modeling for a while, mostly learning how to get more out of FreeCAD and my printers. Some of my prints may be of interest to ham radio operators, others may be of interest to carpenters. I'm also working on a fairly simple marking knife that looks like a stylus, and a stylus, and some jigs to hold parts of that for machining. One of my background projects has been making a 3d printed lathe. It takes ideas from some other projects, including some lathe parts I've seen elsewhere.

In time I'm hoping to have enough 'good' (In my eyes) models that I can start selling some of my prints on Etsy, or other market places, but I'm probably going to hold off on that for a couple more months.

For now, what I post here is going to be freely available for anyone. I'm currently debating whether my next model to be posted is going to be for hanging bar clamps on a wall, or for putting up a G5RV type antenna using a pair of extendable paint poles where the model also gives an option for guy ropes as well. This might be handy for some people for Field Day or Parks On The Air, or contests where operators want to operate remotely, but not mobile.

In a couple of weeks, I'm going to be heading out of ton for a couple of weeks. Wouldn't mind finding out t hat people are interested in what I'm making.

People may find me on X or FB, or even Discord. I'm not on Instagram, but if you're on the Fediverse, or using Mastodon (there are other interfaces) I can be found there @rusty@ma.zcx.cc.

I also 3d print stamps for a local leather working shop. A bit of trivia there, I've yet to find a 3d printable material that will stand up to more than about 20 presses with a 20 ton press. And yes, that's what they use. So my skill set may eventually include metal casting... We'll see.

Have fun, chase dreams, love life, and share. The universe may not care about fairness, but that doesn't mean you can't choose to.
