fire station tool bench

A tool bench in what looks to be a very old workshop. There is a box of rags on the right hand side and a pegboard on the back and there is a line of maybe 10 to 15 wrenches all in order of size. There is a distinct glowing light shining down from the top.

A friend of mine is a volunteer firefighter and took me on a tour of the fire station. This is the tool bench in the very back of the building.

Back in February I met Pablo and Anna. They own the studio Hamill Industries. They were teaching a workshop I was enrolled in.

We hit it off pretty quickly. I was (and am) obsessed with the work they do combining analog and digital stuff to make very cool art, often combined with music. You can see their stuff here: https://hamillindustries.com/

They invited me to come visit their studio which I did almost immediately. They label the spaces North and South Korea. One half is a workshop with a metal lathe, tools, welding equipment, electronics lab, etc. The other half is a cozy space for developing concepts and doing the computer-based stuff. They're very scrappy creatives and a lot of fun to talk to.

I ended up getting approval to skip a week of classes to go "intern" with them and work on a small project together. While I was there, Pablo showed me the work he was doing with an old Vectrex video game system. They had tapped into the system to control the light beam using sound. They then developed a way to send sound signals to the Vectrex in a way that would draw specific shapes. They then hook this thing up in a live setting with a video camera on the screen to use for visuals during live electronic shows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

While I was there interning, Pablo was working on how to get it to render text. He had just started experimenting and got it to render "Hamill". It was really cool.

A couple of weeks ago I went to go see them perform the closing show for the OFFF festival in Barcelona. It was incredible. Three giant screens of live video feeds fixed on analog visuals influenced by sound. Liquid on a speaker, injectors that spit out three colors of paint based on bass, treble and mids, and the Vectrex. Pablo set up a countdown clock to the start of the show. I was giddy. It was so, so cool to see that work appear live on stage.

They set up two Vectrex machines at a show; one for the video feed and one pointing at the audience. They often lean into revealing how they do things. I caught a video of the audience-facing machine: https://vimeo.com/11882345...

I'll post a few more shots of their setup to show the scale.

This is great that you got to have such a hands-on experience with these mentors. One practical question I have is how well does the half of Korea that houses both a metal shop and the electronics shop work out? It seems like a dusty metal shop and a clean electronics lab would not cohabit very well.
robritz an hour ago
@samh great question. I'm not sure! I don't think he works on really fine electronics, like surface mount, etc. He's more interested in servos and relays and arduinos. Those still need a clean environment so my guess is he's just diligent about cross contamination. He also doesn't work a lot with wood? I'm not super familiar with metal fab so i'm not sure how fine of debris that produces. But he's not dealing with sawdust.

Oh, dur, grinding. I'm very familiar with grinding. I'd bet he does that all outside.

That's some nice tight grain for that level of pushing. I did a lot of experiments with HP5 and Delta 400 pushed to its breaking points back in the day... I gave up on XP2, because it just. wouldn't. break.
robritz 19 hours ago
@1f2frfbf from what I’ve read, it’s a variable ISO film. I think you can shoot it from 200-800 and develop at the same length of time. So you can shoot multiple ISOs on the same roll. 🤯

I also read you “can’t” push past 800. I got a bunch more to test, it’s possible I’ll get the same qualities at 800 and 1600.

One of my fav apartment buildings around these parts. A year or two ago it was really run down, windows broken, windowsills crumbling. But you could still see what she offered and thankfully so did someone else (with some money).

They renovated instead of knocking her down for modern soul sucking prefabbed boxes. She looks good again and they've finally started sorting out the garden, which is nice to see.

I heat treated my rotor

Bicycle brake rotor with rainbow-hued discoloration.
alt text
Bicycle brake rotor with rainbow-hued discoloration.
The brakes on my “road” bike (2017 Salsa Vaya GX) haven’t felt strong for a while, and have gotten loud enough to scare pedestrians over the last month or so. The brakes are Avid BB7 mechanical discs, and the bike has about 3500 miles on it.

Step one to try to get them back into shape - suggested by both the local bike shop and the internet - was to pull the pads and rotors, clean everything with alcohol (in case of contamination), and sand it all lightly to remove any glazing. Then make sure the calipers are positioned and adjusted properly. The front went well, other than the socket of the Torx bolt that immediately stripped when I went to pull the rotor. Luckily I managed to remove it, and my habit of keeping old parts meant I had another bolt on hand. I haven't road tested yet, but the lever feels good and strong.

The back brakes though... before cleanup, I noticed my rotor had a nice rainbow discoloration to the inside of the braking surface. Apparently this indicates these got really, really hot at some point. The internet's suggestion in general was to sand the rotors to remove most of the "polished" braking area, which took significantly more work than it did for the front - these were pretty deeply pitted. Finally, once I got them back on the bike, I realized how warped the back rotor actually was as I tried to get the caliper adjusted. I would not be too surprised if the overheating caused that, or perhaps user error taking the wheel on and off to put the bike on the trainer.

Clearly, it's time for a new rotor, and I'l swap the pads at the same time. Hopefully that gets me back to good enough - apparently mechanical discs don't seem to be well loved, I can't say these ever felt amazing. I'd love to replace them with hydraulics, but that probably means a whole new drivetrain - and at that point it might make more sense to consider a new bike.

The suit looks strangely smooth and simple, as though the person is a toy. The person does not have a head; hovering above their empty neck is a sphere with a smiley-face embossed onto it. The face is attached to a string that the person is holding, like a balloon.  The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

He was one of the good ones.
