A couple of nice cnc milling turning pictures I identified:

The 1st pcb i created and contribuited to the develop of – hand soldered vias! This was produced on a CNC milling machine rather than being acid etched as JCU does not have the facilities. It worked with some minor modifications (a track cut and a capacitor soldered directly to the cut track). The green LED shown was attached to a programmable output of the micro, which is why its not on in this photo. Hooked into a board (which i dont have a photo of) which had two pots, one of which was controlled by a motor – the aim being to handle the motor to match the pots to any turned worth.

This surreal stunt is the operate of 30-year-old artist Alex Chinneck, master of architectural illusion, who has previously turned buildings upside down, pulled off their facades, and let them slither down in a heap on the pavement. A Uri Geller of bricks and mortar, this is 1 of his most ambitious works but, fabricating an imaginary eastern entrance to the industry hall that he’s then torn in half and jacked aloft, its Portland stone columns and granite walls left brutally severed.
“I wanted to play on the theatricality of this location, and make anything physically extraordinary,” he says. In location for the subsequent 3 weeks, it is already attracting crowds of gawping passers-by, as a visually arresting a single-liner, seemingly produced for the Instagram era.
The illusion of weightlessness is created achievable by a lot of polystyrene and 16 tonnes of steel. A 12-metre armature hidden inside the structure is connected to the ground by way of an innocuous market cart, in which a six-tonne counterweight stops it all from toppling more than. The effect of weathered stonework has been immaculately recreated by Richard Nutbourne and his group of scenic artists – who usually function on stage sets for the opera and ballet subsequent door. Covering the CNC-milled polystyrene blocks with plaster and granite sand, they have mimicked the neighbouring gnarled stone even down to the detail of moss, electrostatically flocked onto the surface.
“My perform is generally quite easy in its idea,” says Chinneck, “but it is a nightmare in execution.” Eight months in the producing, the Covent Garden installation is the product of a 100-strong team of architects and engineers, carpenters and set-builders, and much more than 500 hours of digital carving. It follows preceding commissions in the piazza from Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst, Banksy and Sam Taylor-Johnson.
