Hey kids ,
  I've been up here in Ohio working off my moving debt and one of my latest tasks has been to chop up a bunch of the Honda power seats that never made it to full production for one reason or another .So far I've collected 20 good 12 volt screwjacks ,some with dual track drives for the forward/backward travel .These things are made to move a 300lb person !With a little steel chopping I've found that one can be mounted 90 degrees to another and another to make a quicky 3D postioner with 10 inch travel in each dimention .All of the others tilt drives only go about 4 inches but I made a replacement screw for one up to 12 inches .If I spend a little more time making a special tool I can get a full 30 inch drive at 300 lbs .Lots of robot possabilities .
   My other work related projects have been making a test stand for a clutch disk test for earth movers .These things are huge 30 inch diameter rings .Awsome .
