Sharpen your axe!
07/19/2019 at 18:55 • 3 comments![]()
The story goes something like this…
Once upon a time, a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant. The pay was really good and so were the working conditions. For those reasons, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.
His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he would work.
The first day, the woodcutter felled 18 trees.
“Congratulations,” the boss said. “Go on that way!”
Motivated by the boss words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only bring down 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only manage 10 trees. Day after day, he finished with fewer trees.
“I must be losing my strength,” the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.
“When was the last time you sharpened your axe?,” the boss asked.
“Sharpen? I’ve had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been so busy trying to cut trees….”

Thank for for liking and following my #Relatively Universal ROM Programmer !
Thanks for liking and following #Adventures in programmable logic devices
Thanks for liking and following #3 line to 32 line output expander
Thank you for liking and following my #Homemade Successive Approximation Register ADC! I have been publishing this project in the hope that it can be used for hands-on education of students and engineers. I was happy to inform a college recently reported to me that several students had successfully made and experimented with this SAR ADC on their own.
Thanks for your interest in Pocket Pad. I envy your expertise with PCBs - the next step for me!
practice, don't be afraid to order pcbs, and have fun!
Thanks for following and liking #89C52 clock board Since I designed that I've found many shortcomings. It's a learning process. But I still have a bunch of PCBs to use up, so I'll build them and then say goodbye to the '51 architecture, except for the CH552 module in my collection and move on to more modern MCUs. Fortunately C code is fairly easy to port.
Hi Dave, thanks for liking and following the Improved 8086 opcode map !
Thank you for your interest in my A Tile Based MacroPad and my TMD-3: Turing Machine projects Dave.
I appreciate your continued interest in my work Dave, now including TMD-3: Turing Machine Demonstrator Mark 3.
awesome stuff! i like to follow the projects and insights gained from the builds!
Thanks Dave. Had I hit upon the linear Hall effect sensor idea earlier, TMD-2 would have been what I’m doing with TMD-3 now I’m pretty sure. Having said that I have no regrets having worked with the Pi camera and OCR. It was challenging and fun.
Hi Dave, thank you for liking and following my #Isetta TTL computer !
Thanks for your continued interest in my projects Dave, now including the OSI Challenger 1P Reproduction.
Thank you for liking and following my #Prehistory of my homemade PERSEUS computers , and following me !
Thank you for your interest in my MCM/70 Reproduction project.
Ciao! Thank you for following and liking my project #MRC6502 - Modular Retro Computer
Thank you for following and liking my Sol-20 Reproduction project. It's early days but I'm very excited about it.
looking forward to seeing the results! have you thought about using laser cut blue acrylic for the case? ponoko.com has a good selection and you can share the design files on the website!
Acrylic is an interesting idea. I think it would look cool and I have access to a laser cutter (https://www.kwartzlab.ca/). I'm also still considering sheet metal as I would like to learn to use the equipment at the maker space.
As always Dave thank for the interest in Trekulator - Where No Maker Has Gone Before.
