10Bull's Blog

Things are a bit hectic for me at the moment. There are less than two months two weeks!!! to go until a new baby arrives in our household. Life is a madhouse as I try to juggle several house projects, family, full-time++ job and rabid imagination. Here are few write ups of some of more more interesting projects on the boil.
As always, feedback is welcomed.

Death of a Piano [Oct 2006]

I had an interesting weekend the other weekend. I dismembered a rather unfortunate 115 year old piano in our front room. Partly because it was in the way but also because I want to make a new bed for me and my wife. It got a little creepy.

10bulls decides to invent to world's greatest battery powered, stepper motor driven, PIC controlled, CNC built mouse trap to rid himself of a pesky rodent.
