Well
here is the first incarnation of my buzz saw arm...
I'm not sure it looks right. and I'm not talking about the fact that the paint needs some work (and it does) just something about it doesn't sit right.
Well as I said this is mark 1. my original plan to power the blade using a fan from a computer power supply failed miserably. none of the batteries I had on hand were strong enough to make it rotate. so when I battery wasn't strong enough I tried something stupid... a loud pop, a flash of light, a few wisps of smoke and the acrid smell of fried wiring later and I'm sure it'll never rotate the blade. Truthfully I think I was asking too much of the fan. It just wasn't made to move sometihng like that. I'm going to keep the ruined fans as an axel though and use a small motor I pulled out of one of my sister's old battery operated toys. Hopefully that will give me the power I need. If not well the sa hand was a superficial add on I'll still have my pincer.
