It's been a while and due to popular demand, we figured there's probably three of you that still want to know what's going on with the R/V Camper, Motorhome, Race Transporter vehicle we started eons ago. So here you go!

2025-08-28 16:04:55 +0000 UTC View PostThere's a bunch of equipment and courses that we used throughout episode 41 and I just wanted to give you lot heads up on what it's all about. Creality gave us the printer and the laser engraver - although we had bought their products before - and...

In the penultimate build episode of Project Binky, we didn't get as far as we'd hoped. This is not unusual for us as you know, but this one was lined up and ready to go with just a few bits to finish off earlier in the week except for a nasty hand...

To those of you that are still with us, you have our eternal thanks. Those who moved on, I can't say I blame you.
Crikey what a nightmare this one was. It was actually worse than epiosde 39 because...
2025-04-28 20:00:45 +0000 UTC View PostThere's nothing else to go wrong. I can't think of a single thing left.
The little mill rebuild went very well indeed. Not straightforward at all to convert what is essentially a small manual mill that had subsequently been upgraded to use s...

We might have been mildly distracted last week by a new arrival - we lucked into a solid 2 door Mk1 Escort shell - so we were very, very excited. No money was spent - we swapped it for our rotten R33 Skyline with a friend of ours.
Anyway en...

Due to my incompetence (thanks to Frank for pointing it out) I've got to swap the video out for an updated version later. Thanks to everyone who's commented on the YT version, don't feel obliged to rewrite on the new one.
Sorry!

Well folks, here it is: Episode 39.
Those of you who watched the draft last week will hopefully notice the changes and indeed we took on board your feedback and made some amendments.
We hope you enjoy it - it's been far too long in c...
2024-10-25 12:09:45 +0000 UTC View PostDon't feel obliged to watch this. This is very much part of the editing process, one we use all the time: a rough cut to give us an idea of where we are and how much we still need to shoot.
It's not finished. We still have some pieces to ca...

I've written much over the last year or so about all the things that have gone wrong with the process. Most boiled down to one or two things that were completely unforeseen and almost undetectable. Every time we fixed an issue, something else went...

We'd have no luck at all.
Sincere apologies for the radio silence recently, we've both been working through some issues externally as well as a boat load of issues in the shed. I'm not going to pretend that those shed bound issues are not a...
2024-07-31 15:38:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe feeling of relief was palpable at the shed recently. We’ve been plagued by an issue we didn’t know we had and that has been going on for years unidentified. It hasn’t been a problem up till the advent of our metal solder 3D printing mala...

It's all Nik's fault. Well, nearly all Nik's fault.
If it wasn't for his absolute refusal to compromise on any aspect of the mini build, we'd have been long done by now.
We were astonished to find that you couldn't buy an aftermarket s...
