![]() Haven't seen one of those since I worked in the oil industry when machine shops where real machine shops, Ok so where do I get the plans for the flat bed planer, I already have a BCA MkIII (which is a Mill cum Jig Borer), but there are some jobs that seem better suited to the Shaper. like those magnetic drills that they use on girders ? I may need to to re-think the approach: Perhaps it should be a "portable" Shaper Head, that can be clamped to another structure. The Shaper would be used for precision detailing, not for rapid stock-removal. I anticipate working mainly on Brass/Bronze, and hard Aluminium Alloys and will be happy to take very light cuts. probably because the designers expected to work on Iron Castings. Unfortunately: Everything does look somewhat coarser than I had in mind. Of these the 1952 Model Engineer article, and the Martin Models design, are most interesting. ![]() I'm thinking of taking it to the 2014 local "Maker Faire", and let people zip a tool along some brass or something - kids at the 2013 Maker Faire had incredibly little knowledge of machining. Passed by a couple of nice-sized ones recently, but the Drummond hand powered one from a club member was too good to pass up, and it helped him do a necessary cleaning out of his workshop. Its kind of like what ex-smokers go through - you *think* you are past it, when one comes along at a good price, and the temptation is sooo strong. cant understand why anyone would want a shaper in this day and age! If you need to ask then you'll never understand " cant understand why anyone would want a shaper in this day and age" I thought that the model engineers size vertical mill such as the dore westbury and all that has gone since has made shapers obsolete? (dore westbury owner here). The castings shipped overseas might set you back a bit even shipping "north of the border" is problematic. About a 4" x4" x4" cube working area.Īs I already have a Hand Shaper (Nobby is not the only one!) I don't know if I'll ever get around to getting a set of the Martin Models castings or not. I really like the Martin Models "Strong Arm" shaper - modelled after the little Adept. I think I've seen another design in "Practical Mechanics" or "Popular Mechanics" a Google search should find those.Įdit also Model Engineer OCTOBER 9, 1952. ![]() This link at Vintage Projects :- might give you some ideas. what is the "Working Envelope" of that one? I have a small Drummond hand shaper it great to use.īut it appears to be bigger and heftier than I need. The one that was recently in Best of ME Vol3 would be about that size. There are three pictures of a delightful little machine by Vautrin, on this page but I would probably want something a little less delicate. Thanks in anicipation of expert advice from the Shaper enthusiasts. Working envelope no greater than 100mm cube.You will be proud to add this machine to your shop.I am considering building a small Shaper for horological and similar work, and would welcome any Design Ideas. But you can’t beat a shaper for simplicity and economy in the home shop.The shaper has a 6" stroke and a mean capacity of 5" x 5", variable and adjustable stroke length, automatic variable cross feed and graduated collars. Obsolete in modern industry, of course, because milling machines do the work much faster and cheaper. And all of these with a simple hand-ground lathe tool bit. It will cut splines, keyways, gears, sprockets, dovetail slides, flat and angular surfaces and irregular profiles. Exotic is a mild adjective when applied to this shaper.

![]() I felt like all that work was down the toilet, then I moved on to JoytoKey. I learned all the quirks and worked around them, until I eventually reached the 255 profile limit, that I didn't know existed. I'm also thinking that would nullify my problem I had with Xpadder before with multiple controllers when using RUI's built in keymapping.įor a long time, I used Xpadder's standalone keymapping, as I found it a fairly stable solution. Your idea of using two different controllers to have different IDs is actually very smart, props for that. It just goes to show that there is truly no perfect solution. Now, when using XPadder I can turn on the controllers at any time and start playing since it detects newly turned on devices on the fly. Now I can't remember exactly because I've fiddles with this for so many hours and days but sometimes after turning on the second controller and restarting joytokey, the controller that was player1 (only controller plugged in at the time) would change and become player2. I kind of fixed this by launching Joy2key on every single game launch using user functions. Because like you said, Joy2Key needs to be restarted to recognize a new controller. This didn't work very well because If I booted up the system, turned on my controller, started hyperspin and launched a game, then in order for anyone to join in on the gaming I would have to shut down and relaunch hyperspin. This is a very big deal for me.Īt first I had setup JoytoKey to launch with Hyperspin. It doesn't matter which controller was turned on first. ![]() When both controllers are turned on, my white controller will always be player 1 since I can arrange the order by device ID. Joy2key will use the white controller as player player 1. But if the white controller is turned on first and the black controller is turned on second. Joy2key will use the black controller for player one and white controller for player two. Now if the black controller is turned on first and the white controller is turned on second. I want to use the white controller for player one and the black controller for player two. I have one white and one black controller. I hear you, but here's why XPadder works better in my opinion. I could go into the issues, but that's for another post. It's not without it's quirks, but once you figure out what those quirks are they can be predicted and managed.Įdit: It should be noted that I use JoytoKey's standalone keymapping functionality, and don't bother with RLUI's integration. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like on my end - I have two Xbox 360 controllers plugged in, and it sees the first one plugged in as 'XInput Device #1 (Connected)."Ĭonsider giving JoytoKey another chance. ![]() Maybe that is part of your issue?Īs far as I know, JoytoKey just uses whatever Windows has your controllers configured to. However when I use PS3 controllers with the SCP driver (fools windows into seeing your PS3 controllers as Xbox 360), the one issue I have there is, JoytoKey needs to be shutdown and restarted any time a device is turned on or off. It just sees whatever controller I plug in first as player 1, and then the second one plugged in as player 2. I use two wired Xbox 360 controllers, and I don't seem to be having any problems like that with JoytoKey. But in XPadder you can set them up by device name which is great. Some of these have different Device names and Device IDs, but Joy2Key doesn't care. But in XPadder you can set them up by device ID which is great. ![]() Wireless XBOX One S controller using bluetooth. Wireless XBOX One S controller using wireless adapter.Ĥ. Wireless XBOX One controller using wireless adapter.ģ. Wireless XBOX 360 controller using wireless adapter.Ģ. Joy2Key sees all my controllers as "Xinput Device" no matter what Device name or Device ID they have. This seems to work great so far with XPadder if it wasn't for this issue that I'm having.Įdit: To clarify a little bit. Since these two have different names in device manager and have different device IDs, I am able to have them work as controller 1 and controller 2 by using the JoyIDs app. Now I'm using 1 Xbox One controller and 1 Xbox One S controller. I first tried using 2 Xbox One controllers, but since they both are given the exact same Device ID, it seems impossible for windows to seperate the two. Long story short, joy2key sees my controllers as Xinput Device 1 and Xinput Device 2 and keeps screwing up the order of the two. Yeah, I started using joy2key but gave up after about a week trying to get it to work in a good way with my controllers. ![]() I loved how the brick was slightly darker than the washed-out ones, had lots of brown tones in it, and had lots of variations in the way the brick was laid. It’s actually a few houses down the street from us. Ultimately, we decided on the look and direction of the exterior finish in the home below. The decorative herringbone brick pattern is more expensive to lay and it’s a big project. When we priced it out we realized it would cost us an arm and a leg. Of course, I loved the limewash/whitewash look of the brick on this gorgeous house (below), but the brick finish is a more expensive option. There was low contrast with the trim and roof and the finish wouldn’t flatter the design of our house. The brick on this house (below) looked too washed out to me. It seemed like an overwhelming exterior finish.Īlternatively, I checked out another house in my neighborhood with a lighter all-brick finish. While it’s a nice all-brick finish, I decided the all-brick looked too dark for our home. In my neighborhood, I found this house (below) that had more of a mortar-wash and German smear look. Well, I guess it isn’t a very popular look where we are building and after looking through the neighborhood finishes, I ultimately decided I didn’t like the all-brick look. I thought I liked the look and I would get a German smear-looking brick finish with lots of mortar. ![]() Little did I know how hard it is (unless you majorly upgrade!) to figure out how to achieve this look with your exterior finish.Īt first, my husband and I chose a plan that was all brick. I also didn’t want the brick to look too dark and heavy. The overall look I wanted was a washed-out brick look without much red in it. Here are examples of homes from around our neighborhood with brick layouts, exterior finishes, and/or colors I loved. ![]() Since we were one of the first to build on our block, I was lucky and had a lot more options.Īlways check this with your builder and keep it in mind when selecting your property in a housing development like this. I had no idea 3-4 houses in a row can’t have any of the same brick selections. In a semi-custom home, like ours, the options are somewhat limited. Most neighborhoods have a cohesive look when it comes to finishes and some even have set guidelines on brick, exterior color, and materials. So, my first step was to drive around our neighborhood and get inspiration for the look I wanted to achieve. If you’re struggling with how to choose brick for your home, the best place to start is to gain inspiration from other beautiful homes! When I began this process I wasn’t really familiar with all the different exterior finish and brick options available. Use a rendering as a reference and carefully assess how each finish will weigh down or lighten up the look of your house.ġ. When selecting brick (or any exterior finish) for your home, it’s important you assess your house from all angles. It is a lot of house in the front so we needed it to not look too heavy. There are 3 windows above the garage where the media room is and then the windows on the left bottom are into the dining room. So before we begin, I wanted to share a rendering of the front of our home. SELECTING EXTERIOR FINISHES FOR YOUR HOME: But through this process, I’ve learned good rules to follow for anyone selecting exterior finishes. So, I’m crossing my fingers and praying I love it when the brick and stone are installed. Looking at 3×3 samples and attempting to envision a whole house covered in brick is SO stinkin’ hard, even for someone who does a lot of design work like me. Honestly, coming from California, I’m more of a stucco girl than a brick person when it comes to exterior finishes. I do have to say, out of everything I’ve selected this was by far my hardest decision. We’re literally wading through all kinds of brick and sorting out how to use brick on our exterior. They delivered our stone and brick at the end of this last week and will install it this week. Today seems like the perfect time to discuss exterior finishes and to share our exterior plans for the house. Friends, I’m excited to share with you as we work on our design plans, updates and finish our new home! Without further ado, let’s walk through how to choose brick for your home! |
