Hi all,
Shop is very much improved. See shitty photos :)
There is still work to do, mostly related to sorting through, placing and
labelling stuff.
We're on the coming Saturday, from noon to late afternoon.
Make a great week,
Morten

New subject: Farm Hacks
Greetings OMI-ers -
Meet Tim and Evan!
Tim is great, and so is Evan! Collectively, they shape, shift, and
modify, farm tools that Evan uses at a CSA project w/in the Alameda
Point Collaborative (apcollaborative.org).
I am writing OMI because Evan could use shop-hacks help w/ tinkers and
tricks along the way to continue to realize his tri-annual harvests at
this diversified urban farm.
Tim has masterfully accumulated choice farm machinery for Evan's
project; there is just a bit of a void where hardware enthusiasts could
really accelerate this grassroots effort out on the Island.
So I am just writing to connect OMI with the boys across the canal, and
hope that - from here - OMI will check out the APC farm (it is super
cool - aquaponics, polycultures, cobb oven, etc.) and offer its shop
resources, talent, and passion, to further realize social justice
ecology in the east bay and beyond.
Onwards!

p.s. I am stuck deep deep in course-work at the UC, and hope to have the
time to come and hang out in the shop one of these Saturdays, if those
weekly meet-ups are still active. What's been going on over there?!? The
pictures from shop clean-up and re-organizing look great!
with love!

great! thanks Corey!
The first project is to make a 3-point adapter for walk-behind
rototiller attachments. So he can pull them with a little tractor.
His disk bed edger and potato rake are the first two attachments he'll pull.
I just ordered this pin set for $15 (!):

here's a drawing of the cat 1 3point hitch we'll make:

it's 18" vertically from center of low pins to ctr of high pin.
other needed stuff:
- a roll bar for the little tractor.
- Wheel spacers to move the tractor's wheels out a few inches
- 48 volt powered inverter to make AC from his solar bank. I have some
UPSes that might run on 48V.
- air bubbler made from a refrigerator compresser

Corey, thanks for making the connection.
Tim and Evan, great to e-meet both of you. I wanted to reply much sooner,
and life got in the way. No excuses, just that.
OMI has been in hibernation for almost a half year now, and I doubt it will
re-appear in its previous form, so don't expect any support from OMI as an
entity. I personally wish I had the expertise and time to help out with
this, but I would love to visit and check it out at some point. If
organizing a date and time works, I'd like to invite other interested folks
from the hardware hacker community.
I might be able to offer some access to a blacksmithing & metalshop I work
in. Incase you need to use a big bandsaw, lathe or mill or drillpress (or a
big furnace and anvil). It's not my shop and not my machines, so I cannot
guarantee it. But get in touch if you have an odd thing you need to get
done, and maybe I can be helpful with access.
Hope things are going well, entering winter and all. And do get in touch
regarding a visit.
Also, Tim, we have met :) I am Morten with the yurt at Adeline street.
Still have on my bucket list to pay you a visit in Alameda/Berkeley. Maybe
comboing it with a visit to the farm.
Make a great day,
Morten
