Tell-Tale for Measuring Vertical Displacement of Soil Deformation.
Here are some tell-tales that I welded for a project. I have a more efficient design using threaded rods, nuts washers, and a much smaller outside diameter tubing used in other projects. I made several for this project. Tell-tales are

Large Soils Shear Box Modification
We decided to add 2 inches to the bottom part of the large soils shear box and 2 or 3 inches to the top box. We ordered the steel and I had to drill and tap holes to attach the

Vishay Strain Gauging Seminar
I went to the Vishay Micro-Measurements Strain Gauging Seminar last summer in San Francisco, California. We use strain gauges quite a bit in the labs that I work in. We make load cells with them, conduct experimentation, find Young’s

Keezer Project
I am making pretty good progress on the Kegerator. I made a collar for a chest freezer to mount the beer taps. I have 2 5 gallon cornelius ball kegs inside the freezer with all the ball locks and CO2

Upgrading Ovens to Digital Controls
Many of the lab ovens for some reason have settings from 0-10, how that corresponds to the real world is anyone’s guess. Over the years, I have upgraded many of the lab ovens to digital controls. It is usually pretty

Large Soil Shear Box Repair
We have a large soil shear box. It has a mechanical screw drive mechanism that can generate a lot of force. There are a couple of limit switches in both forward and reverse. However, one of these switches either failed

Custom Hangers for Environmental Monitoring Equipment
We have lab equipment monitors that ended up losing most of their hangers. I made a custom rebar bender jig to bend the loops out then another for shaping the hooks. Pieces of C-channel were cut to size and holes
