Behind the Scenes: Chaos in the Shop
🕑 Added 2024-10-26 11:00:06 +0000 UTCFriends:
Things have still been a mess in the shop. We've got construction; we've got equipment coming in; it's pure chaos. We could fight it or we could embrace it, so we turned the whole disaster into a video just for Patrons. Join us for a good old shop-vlog. We'll show you a bunch of stuff we don't normally show on camera.
Happy Saturday!

Interesting. Like the printer farm. Would love one myself, no money to spare on a Disability Pension for such luxuries and no spare room at all. Need a bigger rental or our own house so we can unpack things properly. Our artwork have been in boxes for 25 yrs. Can't hang things on walls in rental places. We have been evicted have to becout by early Feb 2025. Finding it very hard due to having a caravan and all the other people looking as well. Plus we have a cat and a lot of properties aren't cat friendly.

That's so kind of you to say!
Rex Krueger
Hope you enjoy!
Rex Krueger
Yeah, it's a meat-grinder industry for sure!
Rex Krueger
My pleasure!
Rex Krueger
Oh, the panels were easy. It was the lighting that I didn't remember and I don't usually point the camera up like that!
Rex Krueger
Glad you enjoyed them!

The Bel Air has always been my favorite looking vintage car! We're using the Bambu P1.
Rex Krueger
Man, it's evolved a lot. Now it's 3 cameras, wireless mics, lighting. I could do a video about it!
Rex Krueger
These machines cost $800 without the AMS filament switcher. I think that's a great price for the speed and quality you get, but I've never been in the hobby end of this. My concerns are strictly business and the cost makes sense for me. Bambu (the company that makes my printers) has many cheaper models and they're having a BIG sale right now.
Rex Krueger
I hope we get a chance to do that!
Rex Krueger
I don't think there are enough oats for that mess!
Rex Krueger
Well, any car over 25 years is *technically* classic, so the early models count.
Rex Krueger
I think they're almost done. God, I hope so.
Rex Krueger
Yup, it's been a busy week. I'm a blur, I'm moving so fast.

Benchy mc benchface (name for the little boat)? Working hard in shop, as usual. Subtle blurs here and there π
Matt Evans-Koch
Thanks for the update, Rex. Hopefully the roof is done before the snows arrive. Best wishes for a productive week ahead.
Bill Brisky
Miata? A classic car? Either I am older than I thought, or you are just wrong. I'm going with you and/or Lucas.
Lee Nightingale
It looks like you need to dump some oats, overnight, on that damp patch π«€π

Rex, just wanted to say, You are the best. Appreciate your content, your responsibility, your openness, your humility, and perhaps most of all, your integrity. Come out to California some time so we can have a beer together. And talk shop. Thanks a million, bro!
Peter
Can I ask the cost of those 3d printers? I've always been curious about it, but not sure if it's worth the cost, and haven't heard great things about the cheaper models

Life is messy and wood shops are messier. Seeing bits of your video production stuff caused me think it would be neat to see how they made the movie type video. In this case it be interesting to see how your setup has evolved since you made a video about your first camera a few years ago.
Fred Wolsey
Interesting, even if there was no woodworking going on. What printer are you using? (Thanks for the memory: "Bel Air" , my first car was a '68)
Helge
Love the occasional shop blog (and breakfast food review ;) ). Thanks for keeping us in the loop, looks awesome!
Jim
As a thought, could you look back through a pervious vid for the panel locations?
Matthew Joseph Kennedy
Thanks for the peek π€£. I didnβt check before I posted
Matthew Joseph Kennedy
Thatβs for the peek behind the scenes. Loved it
Dave West
Always cool to see how the sausage is made.

Happy Saturday Rex I'll watch it tomorrow as it's nearly midnight here in Oz.
Shane Thomas
Looks like you had a long but fruitful day. Happy printing
