Summer Post #3

Lego is still a creative outlet for me as an adult.

One of the projects I’d been wanting to do with my summer vacation has been to play with Lego.

Using the spreadsheet that Yoshihito Isogawa @isogawastudio ‘s and https://www.facebook.com/isogawastudio provides I had spent a considerable amount of time tracking down the pieces necessary to construct all the possible combinations of machines.

Power Function Machines and Mechanisms.

I’ve been trying to do at least one construction each day (only 2 days so far).

I also have been interested in creating simple Lego machines and sound machines with pegboards that are laser cut out of wood.

Unfortunately, the Adobe Illustrator file they attached wouldn’t open in Inkscape so I spent a large amount of time trying to open the file.

I finally decided to create my own grid and learned about some Lego dimensions along the way.

I started with the actual stud to stud measurement

and realized that the pegboard model I had skipped studs.

Needless to say, I was able to laser cut what I needed and spent some time playing and experimenting. There was also a healthy amount of math needed along the way.
