Hi Piper184, happy that my simple device will be an inspiration for a future project !!! A big Ciao from Italy, Alberto.

Ciao Alberto! Thank you very much! This is a great project and I hope to make one soon!

I just saw on your YouTube channel that you're located near Venice. We just came back from Venice last night. It would have been nice to have stopped by and traded stories with you, perhaps next time. (We live in Stoccarda and come to Venice at least once a year, it is one of the coolest places on the planet!)


All the best from your neighbor in Germany, and keep up the good work!

Ciao Cab,

thansk for your nice message to me: yes i live at 1.5 hours of car from Venice, it was 2 years that i did not go to Venice for the Covid problems but now
here it is more or less finish, so i hope to come back to Venice soon!! I like so much Germany, I went to Nuremberg by car, easy and with beautiful roads, black forests, a beautiful experience !!

Venice is a unique city, which shouldn't exist since it rests on ancient wooden poles...next time you go try to look closely at a "gondola", the typical boats for tourists: they are not symmetrical like all boats but built off axis because the boatman is positioned off axis;

in addition, the boatman always moves the oar in the same way, but depending on where he places the oar, the sling goes forward / backward, right left ..... it's an engineering miracle !!

Ciao Cab, see you soon !!!
Alberto.

To knock down the head of a bolt like that, --------- why not do it the real easy way

Thread a nut onto the bolt and then shove the nut into the three jaw, then get at the head of the bolt with the tooltip.

Saves wasting time making that "abortion", eh ? :-)
