OSH Complete.jpg

There are several projects that get discussed in a hackerspace but never seem to get built. One such project is the custom built HEXAPOD. The latest YouTube video plays and visions of HEXAPODs dance in someone's head. The project is discussed and talk of laser cutters and cnc mills dominate the reasons why it hasn't been built. The Director of Legal Evil Emeritus, as he want to do, challenges the idea of laser cutters and cnc mills as a requirement for a custom HEXAPOD. A HEXPOD of OFFICE SUPPLIES is within the reach of anyone at the space. And to prove his point he begins the build.

Started Saturday at noon and completed Sunday at 7:30 pm, here is the build.

Office Supplies

What qualifies as office supplies can be subjective, but nothing used here would stretch the definition.
