    • A thermal camera is a device that utilizes infrared thermal imaging technology to convert an image of an object's temperature distribution into a visual image by detecting infrared radiation on the object and applying signal processing, photoelectric conversion, and other means. How does a thermal camera work? All objects above absolute zero (-273°C) emit infrared radiation. A thermal imaging camera utilizes an infrared detector and an optical imaging objective to detect the infrared radiation energy of the target under test. The thermal camera accurately quantifies the heat of the actual detected object. It images the entire detected object in real-time, thereby accurately identifying the suspected fault area that is generating heat. The operator can initially judge the heating situation and fault location through the image color and hot spot tracking display function displayed on the screen, and then transfer the image to the PC for rigorous analysis, and finally accurately analyze the fault area. What are the uses of thermal imagers? Home use Having a thermal imager in the home can help improve the efficiency of roof leaks, plumbing leaks, and electrical equipment repairs. Regularly using a thermal camera to inspect your home building and electrical appliances can reduce the cost of home repairs and eliminate potential safety hazards promptly. Industrial field For the manufacturing and processing industry, there are a large number of high-cost machinery and equipment. Due to long-term production operations, the service life of these mechanical equipment will gradually weaken and malfunction will occur. Regular inspections of these mechanical equipment using thermal imaging cameras can prevent malfunctions in advance. Maintenance personnel can also perform advanced maintenance, thereby increasing the service life of the equipment and saving a lot of costs for the company. Medical field Thermal imagers have very high requirements for thermal sensitivity. Therefore, thermal cameras can be used as an aid to detect specific areas of heat and other medical conditions in the human body, helping doctors improve their work efficiency. Firefighting In firefighting, infrared thermal cameras can quickly locate people trapped in burning buildings through smoke. This helps firefighters to rescue rapidly and reduces the probability of firefighters being injured during rescue operations. The above content is part of the introduction of the thermal camera, want to know more about the content of the thermal imaging camera can be concerned about Kaiweets.
    • Hello! The summer season is starting soon and my orders are piling up. Tell me where you buy wood, beams, plywood, etc., so that delivery is in the United States. I found the site globy.com, very good prices. Has anyone ordered from this site?
    • I started out many years ago. I had no tools or skill. Tried to make a simple box using a hand miter jig working for what seemed like days to get It just right. When it was done.  It looked like a box someone would have made in kindergarten. But I was hooked. I bought a 100.00 dollar table saw and a small drill press. I lived in an apartment with my gf and sister her brother and mother. My table saw was actually our kitchen table had a piece of plywood on it when not in use and my drill press set on an end table. I can remember mother in law using the light on it to read books with. Many years later I’m not much better but my wife and I had a shop built on our property it’s 24x30 and I  work part time as a diesel mechanic 3days a week thinking some day I can go full time as a woodworker but the truth is I’ll probably just stay as is I have to many other hobbies it just tie it down to one.  
    • I agree that maximizing the use of material feels better, and you did a good job with it. I'll point out that chairs are definitely NOT the right application for a lot of figured grain, at least not crotch figure. Avoiding such grain in mediocre cuts of lumber is often difficult. Straight grain with minimal run out keeps things strong and tight. Your QS oak selection is an excellent choice in that regard.
    • A large portion of my tool kit is inherited, gifted, or purchased used. Consumables aside, I have far less than $5k invested in my shop, and that accrued over a couple of decades. I have, at times, offset the cost of my hobby by actually selling some of my product, but I don't suggest that as a means to really drive the hobby. Makes it seem too much like work.
