What have you done this weekend...?

In a momentary lapse of reason I thought it'd be a good idea (and cheaper) to make my own AC/DC distribution panel. Well forget that, just go buy one.

All in my cost is gonna be about $750 Cdn. I could have bought a perfectly suitable Blue Sea or Paneltronics for $500......

The panel was designed with Front Panel Express and cut by them. About $180 but it is uniquie. The software is free to download and use. It even prices out your project. A lil' clunky to get used to but it's ok.



"She:Kon" pronounced "Shay Go" or "Shay Cone" (depending on who translates) is a traditional Mohawk greeting meaning "Do you still have the great peace?".

I can appreciate the skills required for this kind of work. I think I put this together and took it apart 3 times. It doesn't look like it but this is about 7 hrs of tinkering.......



Now having got this far and run out of parts there's not much more I can do for awhile. If I were to consider doing this again somebody stop me please!!!!

Installed the Infinite Improbability Drive switch!

AWESOME !
But I have a deep down suspicion youre going to tell us any way !

 

Ok I will tell

I lofted my boat

Then

Daniel

 

You drafted the boat ??? I thought you fished from it already !

 

A new boat, it is my work. I design, loft, built, sail, and sell (LBSS, It is very trendy to abreviate!)
I lofted on my knee (old fashion, drawing the boat full size on a loft floor) and that always gave me some ideas which I share with my wife.
Fanie I will do not give more detail of my life anymore
Daniel

 

I am glad someone still does things in a traditional way.

 

You know you can do things more funny than that during the week-end.
You should talk about some idea with your wife/girlfriend/lover/significant other/ex wife/fiancee or going to the movie
Daniel

 

Hi Daniel,

I prommise I won't copy it, show what you have done !

 

I realy hope that time to time you copy it

Daniel

 

I should realy follow Fanie proposition and go fishing.

 

Every time I talk to the wife about the girlfriend I get a slap upside the head for some reason!

 

Well I have only been doing a bit of "stirring" as I am a teeny bit boored...

Car needs mechanical work and a service well it is close to being F&#$ed as the cv joint is making expensive noises and a grease and oil-change is due... Next time I drive will be early Tuesday to get carefully to the workshop (with lots-o-luck)...

Go read my economic thread as it is getting close to critical events occurring... link below...

 

Interesting. So what do you think we should invest in then?
