Quadcopter Build introduction part 1

This is another  little project that I put together last month. I will write a more in depth post about the components, board settings, and flight behavior when I have some more time.  It uses inexpensive parts and flies quite well.  There was a bit of trial and error involved (a few broken props) getting this thing flying...

This thing is really fast.

4 Post Bed Project

I have let this blog die for the past year or so, and I thought I would start it back up with a recent project.
During the past few days of flooding and destruction in Canmore and surrounding Alberta I tried to do something constructive, and I have built myself a 4 post bed frame.  This is the first bed frame I have ever owned since leaving home in Bend.  

The bed is constructed of construction grade pine and took a fair amount of sanding to get into shape.

As suggested by my brother, Jared, I choose to use 2x6s at a 90 degrees for the uprights.  It is incredibly study and the bed has absolutely no movement or play.
