    Isn't amazing how much cleaner a work/business shop is compared to home shops? My shop at work stays clean (partly because of OSHA, Enviromental Services, and Safety agencies), but that's a good thing because it keeps my workers safe. My shop at home is nowhere near as clean.

    Ken:

    Did I get that right? You have slice after slice after slice glued together?

    (By the way, I want to see a picture of the broken ear after you fixed it!)

    Actually if you look close at the small cut away photo in post #7
    you can see that the base was a Glued up 1 1/2" x 6" x 37" block carved first, than the up-right as a 3/4", 2 sided dished carving
    and finally the top 1 1/2" x 3" x 37" glued up block as a domed and tapered 2 sided carving. Finished Rails are 5.5" x 5.5" x 36"
    Have to wait till next week when I'm back at the Shop to fine a photo of the repaired Ear.

    Ken, you are amazing! I am so glad you showed us how you did it, I also thought it was all slices.
    Very impressive!

    Kind of a slow day today, So -- I was thinking...

    While we were talking about shops and how messy they can get, with piles of dust and chips accumulating on the floor around our machines and benches. I thought it would be helpful to have a small robotic cleaning unit zipping around the shop to clean up at least the floor after co-workers have forgotten to sweep or vacuum up after themselves. You know something like that flat kind of round vacuum for the home you see advertised on TV all the time. --- Well, I’m not to knowledgeable about Robotics or combining them with Vacuums, so I came up with an alternative --- Something you’d expect to fine hard at work in the TV show Warehouse 13. If you make a mess -- it chases you around the shop and repeatedly whacks you in the shins, to remind folks to clean up after themselves. I see the device as a cleaning incentive, -- by not having to limp out of the shop at the end of the day.

    Get yourself up on a bench, take a couple Aspirin Tablets,
    and we'll see if we can get there by Thursday to look it over.

    That something like our Maintenance Dept., always tells me.
