Department of Wacky Ideas
United States
Приєднався 17 січ 2019
The world is full of wacky ideas. I've worked in research and development for much of my career and in one position, where I managed a small R&D team, we were referred to by some in the organization as the "Department of Wacky Ideas". I embraced the title and did my best to live up to the challenge. Join me while I travel the world, visiting interesting places, meeting interesting people, and documenting interesting projects.
Validating tickets on Italian Trains. What are the rules?
Italian train travel is fantastic but there are a few rules. Sometimes you need to "validate" your ticket before you get on the train. In this video, Dave explains which tickets require validation and how you validate paper or virtual train tickets.

Essential Tips for Sharpening Woodturning Gouges - Wood Lathe Success - #RandomWednesday
Переглядів 8785 місяців тому
At #MakingAwesome, my local makerspace, we have a wonderful Conover wood lathe. I'm enjoying learning to use it to turn bowls, but having a good lathe is only 1/2 of what you need. You also need an assortment of gouges and those gouges need to be sharp. Join me as I learn how to sharpen gouges using a slow speed grinder and some very useful jigs, with Ralph Callander, the President of the South...

About how much money for the workshop like that?
@@phuhuynh9359 With the development of CNC, water jets, and other technologies, machine shops have become much less common and there are bargains available on old school machines.
Thanks, will use my first mobile ticket on Tuesday
Look at those tallons
Oh my ! What a beauty ! When cars were cars ! But for one that nice you need a garage. ❤❤❤
This was so helpful!
@@GeometryInStatic I’m glad it helped. Enjoy your travels.
Did you know Tobe? I did !
Yes. He was my awesome neighbor.
Found you on reddit, thank you for making the video it was really helpful 😊
You're welcome. I hope you keep traveling.
How many cooks are there in the kitchen?
Only one - a very busy cook.
I'd rather pay more and get better food.
@@TerryLuttrell-s1u The food isn’t awesome but the culture is entertaining as are many of the workers and fellow customers.
Hi.....From India 👍🏻👍🏻🥰❤️
Hi from Florida where it’s a little hot.
Cool 😎 Vid
Thanks
Hugs to "Rambling" Davie
Back at you my friend.
God bless stay safe man
Thank you. So far everyone at our complex is safe and the roof is tarped (but still leaking). Now we're waiting for the insurance adjuster to schedule a visit. Several people in the complex are now homeless, and one guy is still living there without electricity in a relatively undamaged unit. In other units the plaster ceiling has fallen down.
Is that a Dutch winter-ice scenes on the wall behind your head .
I’m not sure. That was shot in an apartment in Torino Italy.
Did you see any signs of the use of concrete in Herculaneum
Not that I remember. There was a lot of stone work and mortar, and a lot of really interesting tile floors. Because of the way the city was buried in mud, there are quite a few examples of wood lintels and beams that have survived.
Interesting and useful tips for travelers!
I'm glad you think so. I am travelling again next week. I have wandering shoes.
Traveling is wonderful therapy
It makes you appreciate home.
Where are all the Refugees?
Some Albanians I spoke (English or Italian because I don’t know Albanian) with talked about a mass migration of young people out of the country in seek of better paying jobs.
big hug my lucky friend
A nation of criminals - no thanks!
Not being funny but I thought everyone knew about the pickpockets (and guarded against them)
Yeah. I was tired and not thinking straight.
The aircard sounds like a great innovation!
Unfortunate situation, but glad you're ok! Safe travels!
Thank you.

Hi. Thanks for posting this video. I am really happy Fablab Torino is still kicking, but I partially disagree about the storytelling that is given in your nice video. The project was produced with the help of Officine Arduino, now Officine Innesto (name changed after the big Arduino drama) too, and when Arduino eventually went away in the other part of the building we stayed (for many years), and did many sacrifices to pay out the machines - namely the CNC milling machine - that were bought during this period, and keep the place alive along the effort of Toolbox Coworking. We eventually finished paying these things after the COVID lol. Not to mention this is lacking respect of many people that were eventually involved in this interlude, and me myself that had the precious and ancient honour of damnatio memoriae. I'm not surprised this story is not aknowledged an possibly wasn't given to you, so this is just my effort to give you the complete picture, but I really would like to add the fact that Officine Innesto helped the development of the Fablab Torino, and still is indeed, by lending some of the machines. We all know a Fablab is not its machines, so most of the merit of keeping the place alive goes to the people that now have the time and resources to take care of it, but indeed this has to be aknowledged. Feel free to contact me to have another title in the video. Ciao
Those busses look cool
The bus system in Bologna (and many other Italian cities) works well.
Inside the main waiting room there is the huge crack in the wall left by the explosion, cleaned and left there as a memento, with a plaque reminding the 85 names of the people killed.
Today the waiting room was closed.
Bro said information in 10 which is actually useful and interesting This guy is underrated 😂❤
That is what my mother always said. 🙃
Maker Space is almost as awesome as Davie, our host!
Happy to report that RideMovi ebikes in Bologna rent for about 2 euros per hour.
I have now used the service in several Italian cities. In general, the rental rate was similar except in Torino where instead of 2 euro for 30 minutes, it was about 6 euro. It's still an excellent deal and worked well for me.
I played an older model for about ten years. The Hayden system is very intuitive. You should learn it very quickly. I sold my old stagi to my sister, as I had purchased a peacock from concertina connection. I'm 68 years old. My fingers have some numbness issues. The peacock has those little metal pins. Very uncomfortable. I had liberty bellows sell it for me and I bought a new stagi duet. The action does seem faster than the older one, and those big fat plastic buttons are so much more comfortable. The only thing I changed was the leather hand straps. They're made of good leather, but very stiff. Hurt my hand immediately. Get some "latigo" leather, Very tough but much more flexible. The duet system is the only way to go. The peacock is , (In my Opinion), great for session, but it's loud and out of balance. The chord side buries the melody. The stagi is also much sweeter. People will say. The peacock has hand made concertina reeds, much better. Well they don't sound better, they sound harsh. sorry for the long explanation, but it's hard to find detailed info about this stuff. Hopefully this info, from someone who has played a concertina for a while will help. John Xavier Poetic License
I've had mine for 8 months now. I play the instruments in three different bands. It's easy to play for me. I love the sound and except for one slightly stiff button, the action is very good.
I made an error in the video when I identified the Hayden duet as a diatonic instrument. It is fully chromatic. I was so intrigued by the system that I recently had one made for me. It is super logical and easy to learn to play.
Oh man ! That is a beautiful car ! but then I compare those 30s Buicks with Bently and Rolls. ❤❤❤
There were 100 equally beautiful cars at the rally.
Sweet
I was there with my band to play music for the event. I had no idea that I would be encountering these awesome old cars.
Model T’s!!!!!!!! Not A’sss
Thank you. I am working on restoring a 1954 Ford and that is about as far back as my knowledge goes.
T’s
Thank you.
Beauty😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
It truly was. There are over 100 antique beauties at the Glidden tour in Thomasville Georgia this week.
Beautiful car
It really is. I have a 1954 Ford station wagon which I'm working on. That show was an inspiration.

Thank you. You live in a beautiful state.
Firepit?
Yes. There is a fire pit near by but this oven requires a small fire inside to heat it to the temperatures for making pizza.
Сказочное место
мне очень повезло
Great! Have fun!
Congratulations!
I made a video in the Concertine Italia factory last year - ua-cam.com/video/2ypFYSbA678/v-deo.html

Not mine and I agree. However it’s new and shiny.
@@DepartmentofWackyIdeas yes yes it is

Italy is a delicious country.
