Wood Block Clock

Wood Block Clock 08/12/2004 09:20 AM

Despite what you might think, this clock is a solid piece of wood with a faux cord running out of the back, designed to purposely confound you into ignoring the fact that the only method in which a block of wood could display the time is if it were impelled by dark, heathen sorcery. If this were not the case, why would the burning red numbers show an hour to have 66 minutes twice a day?

It's either that or there is a thin veneer front that shows light through it from behind. I say we burn it anyway. (Thanks, Martin!)

Building with wood is eco-friendly?

Building with wood is eco-friendly? 09/22/2004 08:30 AM
David Pescovitz: A new research report shows that wood is one of the greener materials that can be used to build homes. According to the report, prepared by the Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials, the environmental impact of fabricating building materials and actually constructing a home is more intense than most people realize. And while the industry has slowly moved away from wood, the use of dead trees may actually be better (well, less bad) than other products and techniques. From a press release about the report:

The research showed that wood framing used 17 percent less energy than steel construction for a typical house built in Minnesota, and 16 percent less energy than a house using concrete construction in Atlanta. And in these two examples, the use of wood had 26-31 percent less global warming potential...The growth of wood in renewable forests works to "sequester" and remove carbon from the atmosphere, and fewer carbon emissions are created in the processing needed to produce wood products than their steel and concrete counterparts.

My friend Roger Wood is a genius clockmaker who builds clocks into assemblage sculptures made from found objects, antiques, rust, and vacuum tubes. He publishes an irregular newsletter showcasing his latest creations, such as this one, which is similar to one that I bought from him before I moved to London, which was the first piece of decor I put up in my new flat after moving in. Every place I've lived since I left Toronto has had a Roger clock in it, and it wouldn't feel like home without one. Link

JVC SX-WD10, SX-DW505 Wood Speakers 04/06/2005 11:31 AM

JVC knows how to make fancy looking speakers. The new "SX-WD10" and "SX-DW505" do that, too. There must be something about wood and speakers that people like. But what's this? "Copper Clad Aluminum?" It seems to me speaker manufacturers just sit around and come up with the most exotic materials they possibly can, and claim it produces higher quality sound.

Roger Wood documentary footage

Roger Wood documentary footage 09/08/2004 08:06 PM
Cory Doctorow: The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Zed show has done a segment on my pal Roger Wood, the mad assemblage clockmaker.

Roger Wood creates with time in mind. Yet even though the clock can be a consistent element of his work, it's often secondary to its creation. Whether it's a curious timepiece or a unique assemblage, Wood thrives on working with an immeasurable array of findings from the tarnished and forgotten to the odd or intriquing. He is a devoted collector of usual and unusual objects with one thing in common, a history.

The source of his inspiration lies in the hundreds of curiously labelled drawers and boxes brimming with artifacts of all description that line the shelves of his Toronto studio. Wood orchestrates an arrangement from his myriad of treasures until the precise moment that it feels right. Then he quickly glues them all down so they can't escape.

Playful, wondrous timepieces emerge that take flight on cherubic wings, float and sway on fine wires, or appear frozen mid-explosion with flying springs and cogs that bounce at the touch.

My nemesis: a 1'-high wood-and-steel

My third flight in "Sky 12" became unexpectedly challenging when the GPS receiver for the microwave uplink failed.  Normally the transmitter automatically aligns itself to point at the TV station and send them a feed from the helicopter's camera.  It can't do this alignment if it doesn't know where the helicopter is and without its GPS the only solution is for us to aim the transmitter manually.  My supervising pilot was Rob Roberts, who has been doing this for 9 years and is an expert in every facet of the operation (see earlier story).  Nonetheless if the helicopter changes its position or orientation the transmitter will need to be reaimed.  So we are forced to do all of our filming from an out-of-ground-effect (mid-air) hover, which I establish about one minute before our signal is due to be broadcast.  Rob doubles as "talent" and is one of the two pilots qualified to be an on-air reporter, for which we have a small camera pointed inside the helicopter.  About 45 seconds before we go live, the guys back at the station say "we're receiving your feed; don't move!"  This turns out to be one of the cruelest things possible to say to a helicopter pilot.  Inset into the camera monitor on my side of the machine is a little window showing the actual broadcast coming out of the TV station and into homes.  The little picture and the producer's words serve as a constant reminder that "any kind of screw up and the screens inside 100,000 Richmond homes will go blank.  This kind of reflection turns out not to be conducive to good flying.

For the rest of the week I was able to handle most aspects of the job without too much fear or incompetence.  However at the end of every flight the fearsome dolly would be waiting.  If we just landed on the ramp it would be too hard for the maintenance guys to pull the Jet Ranger into the hangar.  So we land on a surprisingly small dolly, about 1' high, which they then tow with a golfcart-style tug.  The dolly is a few feet wider than the Jet Ranger's skids and a bit longer fore-and-aft so it shouldn't be all that tough.  However, the one thing that you are taught as a helicopter pilot is never to look down at the ground when you're trying to hover.  You always look off into the middle distance.  Looking down leads to overcontrol and wild oscillations.  Another problem is that the skids of the Jet Ranger are not easily visible to the pilot, unlike with a Robinson R22.  Finally there is the issue that if you get the helicopter into a position where it might fall off the dolly, or at least half off, there is a serious risk of dynamic rollover and having to go out and buy another $1 million helicopter.  This is the bit of knowledge that makes the whole thing hard.  If there were just some painted marks on the asphalt and the consequence of missing them were being embarrassed and picking the machine back up or buying lunch for the line guys it would be easy.  But the consequence is spectacular destruction and this ruins almost everyone's concentration.  Apparently there is an expert instructor at the Bell factory school who refuses to land on a dolly.  He doesn't have to do it regularly so he sees no need to add this kind of stress to his life on occasion.  Sadly at HeloAir one does have to do this after every flight and it turns my knuckles white.  At the end of the week I'm able to do it with only a bit of help from Rob but I would not want to try it by myself.
