Rudy, sorry I haven't been around. It's hurricane season here so I've been busy on my project just in case an exodus is in the cards. Your accordion image needs to be sized to 80x80 pixels maximum or it won't load. I had a few failed attempts until I got the guitar to 80x80. Because it isn't square ...

Hello Rudy, I thought those might be accordion cases stacked up in your interior images. What kind of music do you play? We have a local Zydeco/Cajun band here, the Unknown Tongues www.unknowntongues.com. Every year in Febuary we have our own Mardi Gras at the Gloucester community center. I bring my...

Hello stuartcnz, thanks for the thought. I considered that approach, but when I opted for inset flush drawer fronts the fit prevented that option, as the drawer must have clearance to be lifted out of the notch. The drawer fronts will fit inside the sappele bead that lines the perimeter of the drawe...

Hello Jones'n4chrome, thanks for the link. I'd never seen one of these before. I had to find out more about these rigs and found these images. http://img2.pict.com/29/73/7d/1350022/0/fageolvans001sml.jpg http://img2.pict.com/2c/1a/51/1350026/0/fageolvans005sml.jpg The bodies were built by Fageol tru...

Looks like a comfortable layout. You are a lot farther along than I am. A lot of work. Thanks for the clarification on the circuitry pics. You apparently have it under control. You should, however, consider the fact that you have enough energy stored in your house battery bank to burn a hole in 1/2&...

Wow! Nice Crown Dan. I'll have to know what engine, tranny, how long, what year? Mine's a '78 35' with a Detroit and Fuller 5 speed. Nice images very helpful. In the view of the back side of the breaker panel there is a buss bar connecting all the breakers together. On the opposite end of each break...

Thanks for the info Sharkey. I looked around and found an interesting open source software SVG program called Inkscape. I've been playing around with it getting a feel for it. Pretty cool. I also stumbled on this http://fritzing.org/. Also open source, still in development. Its an electronics protot...

PDF schematic
Hello Sharkey, can you divulge what program you used to generate the schematic in the PDF for the EV motor controller board? Is it expensive?
Very nice work.

Wiping the tears from my eyes... I found a piece of AWG 10/2 in a jacket, stranded 600 volt wire and its outside dimension (the jacket) measures ~11.5 mm wide by 7 mm thick One of the actual 10 ga. copper stranded conductors measures ~ 3.2 mm D. The O.D. of one conductor with 600 V insulation is ~ 5...

Earthing 12VDC
Hello HoFFdOg, the short answer is no. But the following might help you understand why. The term "earthing" generally refers to AC mains circuits. I am assuming you are somewhere in Great Britain. (your reference to "two-core flex") In the US we run 240VAC from pole to service pa...
