| | I've posted the scripts used to generate the anti-aliased text used in the User Interface. The first is a Photoshop script,CreateFontData.jsx. This makes a set of PNG files, one for each character. The second isConvertText.py, a Python script that takes the output of CreateFontData and generates C code for display the characters on the Epson LCD used in the project. Note these scripts have some hard-coded pathnames in them (to the development folder) but this is pretty easy to find and modify.

| | In an earlier post, I'd mentioned that I was thinking about building a spar lathe. The basic idea is to rotate the spar around so I can evenly sand it. The hope is that I can take the somewhat lumpy spars (especially the boom, which I'm not entirely happy about) and get them nice and round. As I mentioned, the inspiration for this came from an article by Chris Cunningham (editor of Small Boats Monthly) in WoodenBoat issue 176 (Jan/Feb 2004).

| | When last I wrote about about my attempt to make a spar lathe, I'd thought I'd solved the hardest part. After all, the big wooden wheel was no longer falling off. I may not have been entirely accurate with that prediction. My next step was to make the other end of the lathe - the part that'd support the spar as it was spun around. I ordered four rubber wheels, and cut out some pieces of plywood to help surround the spar with wheels.
