This is an overview of my new CNC mill, the ShapeOko 2. This DIY machine is a great option for those wanting to get into CNC milling.
To be clear... I bought this machine.. it was NOT SPONSORED.
It's highly upgradeable, open source, and has one of the lowest entry costs of any CNC available.
This is NOT an advertisement. I have no affiliation with Inventables, the maker of the ShapeOko 2.

Need a way to roll under your car? It's easy and cheap!

If you work on (or under) your car a lot, you know how much of a pain it is to roll under there. It's dirty, cramped and just not a great place to work. Auto mechanic's have long used a really low to the ground cart called a creeper to easily get under the car, do the work and get out.
I decided to make a simple creeper myself, but added a few features to it to make it even more useful! I added two adjustable lights near your head, a cushion for comfort and a simple tool tray to take the tools you'll need with you, when you go under the car.

I had a super lightweight monitor to mount in my shop for a shop computer. Here's how I went about making a swing arm for it!

http://amzn.to/1QqcFZH - 24" Acer Monitor
http://amzn.to/1S7Qnte - Mac Mini
http://amzn.to/1MsTiZH - Apple Bluetooth Keyboard
http://amzn.to/1I3KBl7 - Apple Magic Trackpad
http://amzn.to/1FbfQsn - Silicone keyboard cover

http://amzn.to/1MwrELe - Table Saw
http://amzn.to/1I9twGt - Miter Saw
For a while now, I’ve been wanting to have a dedicated shop computer so that I didn’t have to bring my laptop into the shop and cover it with dust. Dust is definitely one of the biggest problems with having a computer of any type in the shop, so I decided to skip that problem completely..
For the computer, I bought a used Mac Mini on Ebay and instead of putting it in my shop, I put it in my office (which shares a wall with my shop). I poked a small hole through the drywall and fed through an HDMI and USB cable. The audio and video come through the HDMI, and the USB connects to a small USB hub which I mounted to the back side of the monitor.
Having the USB hub allows me to connect things in the shop like a webcam (possibly for live streaming from the shop?) and my X-carve (cnc machine), which is the main reason that I wanted a computer in the shop anyway.
For a keyboard and mouse solution, I’m using a small Apple keyboard and an Apple Magic Track pad (I prefer it to a mouse) both of which are Bluetooth. I cover the keyboard with a silicone cover, attached with some clear tape, to keep out dust.
Another option for the computer would be a Raspberry Pi, a small inexpensive linux computer. It would be great for surfing the web, listening to music and watching video. Unfortunately, it won’t run the software I need for for running CNC, so it wasn’t an option for me.
Concerning the monitor itself, I’m using a 24″ Acer, which only weighs 6 lbs. If you have a monitor that has considerably more weight, this type of mount will probably not be strong enough. my monitor is REALLY light and thin, so this works fine for me.
