Minecraft Pulse Generator

I built this pulse generator to run some stuff- harvesters and my repeater-chaser with a chicken in a minecart design. When its input signal is off, its output is off so that the pistons are retracted.

Minecraft Sugarcane Farm

 All of my sugar cane farms run on the same pulse generator I figured out how to make the harvesting system from watching a youtube video. I changed it to have different sizes, from a single cane harvest to a much larger one that I forgot the size of. A piston comes out and chops off the sugar cane that is in its path. The harvested cane goes into the river and then to a hopper and then into a hopper minecart.

Spray Painting Water

This is a marbling technique that can be used to create scenes that look like water. For this project I used all the cans of spray paint I had available in my shop. I wanted the largest piece of paper that would fit in my tank, so I used a pallet divider from Sams Club.

First I filled a shallow bin with water. Then I spray painted the water and the paint floated on the surface because the solvents are lighter than water. I did this outside on the deck of my shop for better ventilation. Then I dipped the paper white side down into the bin, and the paint stuck to the paper. It took a long time to dry because it was cold and humid that day. The paper curled when it dried because only one side came into direct contact with water. Framing might make it flatter.

Minecraft Storage

Here is a floor that I made mostly from crafting tables. The tops line up and make an interesting design, and it is convenient. Since I play creative mode, resources are unlimited. The center is a hatch for the path to my firework testing room. The back wall has a button panel. Each button is for a separate ingredient. The button sends a signal to the dropper, which dispenses the item to a large chest (not shown in this picture). 

I have a large supply of sugar cane from my 4 sugar cane farms. I connected hopper pipes to the sugar cane and other ingredients that I have a lot of. Each hopper can hold 5 stacks of 64 of most items.

Dust Collector and Dust Blower

The dust blower that was built in to the scroll saw did not remove much dust. I used my airbrush compressor and assorted irrigation tubing and a bolt to improve it with an external pump. The power box I built to turn on my dust collector and scroll saw needed to be expanded so I plugged in a three outlet splitter. I plugged the dust collector directly into the outlet since it uses more power. All three devices do have their own switches, but this way I can turn them all on at the same time and I don't forget to use the dust collector.

Using the light mounting hole to run tubing through and secure the connection. To use the tubing to blow dust out, I disconnect the white tube from the black tube and then connect it to the loose tube.
