Amazing, I love the way you planned it using Google earth and FreeCAD.

Great job.

When I moved into my current home there was a old junglegym.

Not needing it, I planted Wisteria and Trumpet vines around it and let it grow wild.

Today I get beautiful blooms, hummingbirds, and a great nesting habitat for several types of birds.

Looks good.

And speedy compared with my outdoor engineering efforts.

This year I've done quite few non electronic projects, latest new skill is learning to sharpen drill bits. Still all at the learning phase - last one went from quite blunt to completely and utterly blunt !

Care to share any reactions you have encountered?

Has it opened the doors you had hoped?

Cute little scope. It is always satisfying to finally get something like this working.

When time is important, you don't want to waste time with time-tracking overhead, this gizmo is a good solution...

Spectacular project. Creative concept, multi disciplinary technology, fully functional and aesthically cool. Well done. I would be impressed if someone showed up here for an interview wearing such a system.

Nice project.

I have a similar project awaiting completion.

Maybe I will actually do it.

Nice project.

You did a good job of bringing a languishing project to life.

Great project.

As someone who used to hire new students, I will say you would get my attention and I would be impressed that you could work independently on a project and see it through.

When you are looking for entry level positions, demonstrating that capability would put you ahead of the just book learning crowd.
