University Workshop Visit
John showing us how to do it.
Lasts nights visit was successful for those who attended, thanks to John M0HFH for organizing the evening.
Some of the things we had a go at included glass blowing, glass work using a lathe, flow cutting and laser welding. Also had a play with John’s break time project a morse paddle key without the paddles.
 Paul having a go…  John blowing bubbles.. Paul and John using glass pipe. Paul making a test tube & John blowing bubbles. |
 Garry’s attempt at an insulator  From this angle it looks quite good… The insulator is made from a glass rod. |

The dynamic trio in action……..
The camera stayed in the same position, apart from the order of the dynamic trio can you spot the difference between the two pictures?
The pictures were taken with a Raspberry Pi with a camera module using a time lapse. The time lapse was created using a simple Bash script and a “CRON” job. The script had to be edited a couple of times before it did what was required.
