Safe to say we've all been a little bit bored over the past two months and for many there is no end in sight.
What projects has everyone been doing?
Here are two of mine. Yesterday I built a small garden. No I didn't design it in Solidworks, lol.
And a little bit more challenging project. I've been developing a theme for a video game emulator front end named LaunchBox (BigBox). It's been both fun and frustrating to learn a new coding language (xaml). Phase 1 of 5 is complete.
I was actually looking forward to some time off to catch up (or actually start) several projects around the houses.
Unfortunately, The company I work for is considered Essential since we support and make wafer handling tools for wafer fabs all over the world. They are essential so that makes our support essential.
I have been working my usual ~ 50 to 60 hour weeks this whole time with no end in sight. (wish I got paid accordingly). Even with my carried over vacation time I didn't use last year and taking 4 days Vacation to go to World, I still have over 21 days of Vac.time and too busy to get to use it.
No 'Bore'antine for me in sight and the home projects just keep building.
I have been trying to practice some things I don't use often or know well and get Solidworks certified for them but never get the time.
I'm lucky to be able to work from home I guess. The time saved from my commute plus being able to sleep in longer has given me a lot more time and energy to do stuff like this.
I thought this thread would be much more popular though. I guess most people's quaratine project has been watching tiger king, lol.
My boredom project is learning Design Tables.
After sprockets I intend to set one up for Hydraulic cylinders

Nice, I did something similar in the past with bolts and screws. All bolts and screws that our company uses are contained in a single file, no matter what head type, drive type, tip type, size, material, finish, etc.
Design tables are very amazing once you understand their true power.
