Arduino CNC mill

There are more and more successful home made CNC-mill and 3D printers. I'd like to make one using Arduino, which is the micro-controller that I am familiar with. Amazingly I could find a deserted manually controlled X-Y stage for optical experiment in the surplus warehouse of my department. I want to revive it and turn it into a CNC mill controlled by Arduino. (details about hardware and code are to come...)

Blade Runner Spinner made from Meccano parts

Lego built the one and only Spinner for Syd Mead (http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/06/25/exclusive-oneofakind.html). I want to build one using the Meccano parts and think it would be fun. The size of wheels are out of proportion, but I think they look great. Smaller wheels from Meccano don't have the futuristic feeling. Because of the wheel size, the arm supporting the front wheels are also longer than a usual spinner.

The whole project is based on an old Meccano kit I bought from ebay. I also ordered several flexible plates from http://www.meccanoshop.co.uk/. Decals are made using Bare-metal-foil products. I am getting more interested now in making more vehicles with sci-fi origins using Meccano parts. This combination provides a strange blend of industrial and space-age feelings.
