List of suppliers | dorn | Tuesday, February 28, 2012 - 5:11pm | Tuesday, August 28, 2012 - 9:08pm | 5 |
I think that it is important to have someone to sponsor an initial tool posting, hopefully someone who has experience either using, or building it. I think this would lead to better documentation and exploration and improvement. Otherwise we can just have posts that we find around the internet that are cool looking but without the social connection - I think the forum is perfect for that kind of post.
If this discussion for advocating for a new tool is done in the forum, then we can avoid discussions afterwards about why something was posted or having to remove from the wiki incomplete inappropriate, or commercial products that are not documented.
I think that the documentation may be somewhat different with electronic devices needing less CAD type files and more electrical diagrams and posted code snippets, but the level of documentation required to reproduce it should follow the same model (roughly). Every tool should have a bill of materials, functional description, operating details- methods of use, assembly order, techniques etc...
Thanks for the encouragement. I will see what I can come up with. I think that when you and the team have FIDO going, it is going to be the best example going though.
Welcome to Farm Hack! I have seen some amazing stuff done with all wooden wheelbarrows using laminates and some with steam bending. I have seen some bent aluminum tubing frames stiffened with light weight plywood as well. For attaching to the bike, I would look to the bike forums - I am sure it has been well explored.
I think a glossary would be an excellent feature - perhaps we could start a "Tool" called "Farm technical vocabulary Glossary"? The discussion forum tied to it could be used to ask questions about terms etc....
I will take some tines to my steel suppliers and see if we can identify it. I will post when I get specs back.
Amazon and e-bay are often good places to look too.
If you have additional suppliers please add to the list in this forum
