Aesthetically? He certainly demonstrates functional restoration.

Yes, now it’s a work of art. I always thought “restoration” meant returning it to its original form, warts and all.

He seems weird about that, going way out of his way to keep the insides of even a bolt from the original piece but massively cutting away and even re-designing the shape of the outside of it. 
(and now y-tube is showing me a hundred other restorations 
)

I’m still surprised no one has worked out a way to make the glowforge steppers play a tune. It’s one of those things that should be pretty easy to do if you have any musical talent. (which I don’t)

I did think about sampling some the sounds the Glowforge makes to create a MIDI instrument but, that’s not quite at the same level.

Every design is its own tune, but the Glowforge does not know the words so it just hums the tune.

Neither had I. Isn’t that cool? A clamping surface that conforms to the object’s geometry.

This is a good time to bring up Barnaby Dixon, a talented puppet designer. All of his videos are great, this is a recent one I hadn’t seen yet:

Line crew? Plane Capitan? How old? Military discipline is exactly what this young fool needed. It slapped me awake from the ‘everything taken for granted’ mindset I had at 17 and introduced me to the cultures on the other side of the planet.

Webb telescope vs Hubble telescope images. This is pretty amazing.

Wow! Those pics are stunning! I heard something about it on the news the other night, but I was in the kitchen making dinner and didn’t see the pics. So thanks for showing this.

I think the images from each telescope are amazing, but the difference in detail is remarkable.

The “star burst” effect from the new images appear “wrong”. Almost like the photo was edited. The streaks shouldn’t have a pattern them. Unless that is just some strange aberration from how the photo was taken. But I would expect accuracy not “flair” from a photo like this.
