Messing around over the holiday…Just setting up and will figure out attaching them later. Different materials always make welding them tricky. Might figure out a mechanical connection…
Then and Now Volt Meter
Could not help myself…Just had to bring home the Rider VoltOhmyst. Plugged her in and measured some voltage on some DC batteries as well as some ohms across some resistors. resistors. Dead on…Well after some adjustments and warming up. Will put on the shelf now.
Dates around 1939.
Installing Gradle on OSX via HomeBrew
Recent selenium project required use of Gradle. Quickest way to install was via HomeBrew. No rocket science but I find if I don’t write this stuff down I lose it quickly.
Install HomeBrew if you don’t have it installed already: goto http://brew.sh/
[code language=”bash” gutter=”false”]/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
[/code]
Use HomeBrew to install gradle
[code language=”bash” gutter=”false”] brew install gradle [/code]
Pimped out Barrell Adjusters and another Faux Headset
Finished up a few projects. Another Faux Headset for a friend and mods to some cool brass barrel adjusters for another local shop.
Diamond Mills
Cleaning up and adjusting coming along pretty well. Arbor removal was stubborn but done. Cut some tubing on one of them just cuz…
Rewired all done and motors good. Rewired one of the coolant pumps…worked good until I reassembled…now showing some sparks. On the list but don’t plan to use them anyway.
More soon
Diamond M22 Horizontal Milling Machines
Two Diamond M22 Horizontal Mills. Picked up this morning and got them both into the shop. Trip was thankfully uneventful! One is more complete than the other…missing overarm bracket and one crank. Saved from county school system many years ago…very little wear and should clean up nice.
1000lb each
Made in LA..neat to find them on East coast.

Ruby On Rails – AWS Linux
I have been working on setting up a Ruby on Rails project and using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to host it. AWS EC2 instance out of the box of course is not setup to run rails. After much trial and error I have narrowed down the setup process as listed below.
1 – Setup AWS EC2 Instance (your milage may vary – Assume you have setup EC2 instance before)
I used the following:
AMI – Amazon Linux AMI 2016.03.1 (HVM), SSD Volume Type – ami-f5f41398
Instance Type: General purpose t2.medium
2 – Setup Rails Environment
Connect to EC2 Instance (ssh via terminal)
ssh -i "****.pem" ec2-user@ec2-XX-XX-XXX-XX.compute-1.amazonaws.com
