The title kind of says it all. I work alone in my small machine shop at home and I miss the fun engineering projects I used to be able to do with my colleges back when I worked for big corporations.
What I can bring to the group: I was schooled in chemical engineering, although I should probably have done mechanical engineering. So I can design and do CAD but im def. not a design engineer. I can machine any of the parts we would need to build our "project" as I have a small cnc lathe and a semi small 5 axis cnc mill. And if whatever we design and build isn't too big, I probably have all the material we would need sitting on my shelf and if not, I get a good discount on onlinemetals.com.
Project ideas: 1. Open to ideas 2. rail gun 3. compulsator 4. low cost underwater ROV 5. airsoft AA gun/tank 6. 12lb or 30lb combat robot with a unique weapon system
This is a shot in the dark but maybe some other bored engineers would think this is fun and we could together make something really cool. Bonus if you happen to live near the mid west USA as I could more cheaply ship you the parts we design for testing and what not.
