A Rough Timeline

Heya!

There's a lot going on around here at the moment, and things just keep getting added to the pile, but I think I'm started to form something of a plan for the next couple of months at least, as well as some hopes and dreams for the year in it's entirety.

First of all, the script for the next video (Loosely following the events of the shed reshuffle) is just waiting on final approval from the sponsor, then it'll be on to shooting the voice to camera and post production. Aiming for an early March release there.

I've also got a sponsor offer that's pretty hard to ignore, only catch is it's gotta be out in March as well. Haven't said yes to this just yet, but I think I've got a great idea for a project on the manual machines (because I've torn apart the CNC control cabinet... Perfect timing.), something I've wanted to tackle for quite a while.

Obviously that's gonna be a pretty tight deadline, but luckily my amazing partner is going to giving me a huge hand, which should hopefullymake for some pretty entertaining workshop moments, and drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to deliver the content everybody seems so fond of!

As the channel continues to grow, I'm recognising more and more that the workload I've been taking on is completely ridiculous, but I really don't want to sacrifice on quality, both in terms of fascinating projects and engaging storytelling. Luckily that growth also puts me in a position where I can start to share some of the workload, so hopefully this is the beginning of more long term involvement on her part - but we've gotta see if she enjoys it first!

If I do end up taking on that deal, it'll mean that there's a chance I won't be able to get back to the control cabinet until towards the end of next month, but as much as all I want to do is get a 5th axis and toolchanger on the thing, truthfully I think it deserves a little more thinking time.

Might as well make some videos in the mean time!

If, by some miracle, I manage to get everything (linuxcnc, atc, rotary axes) up and running on the machine in this half of the year, I'd really like to spend the second half developing some small run product ideas, of which I'm considering a few. But more on that when there's more on that.

Anyway, the point is, I feel like I've finally started the year, and there's a bunch of exciting shit to look forward to!

As always, thanks to each and every one of you.
