Draw and produce mechanical parts with eMachineShop

I was very much impressed by eMachineShop an e-business where at the click of a mouse you can order custom machine parts! This is a extraordinary new web-service that allows users to create mechanical custom parts. eMachineShop solves the problem of getting mechanical parts by providing free CAD downloadable software so that the customers can draw or import from an existing file from their CAD program and also budget the price and order the part they have designed via the Internet.


Ordered parts can be for cars, bikes, aircraft, musical instruments, watercraft, optical devices, sensors, models, nameplates, electronic devices, enclosures, clocks, machinery, engines, furniture, games, jewellery, jigs, telecom, lighting, medical devices, photographic devices, robots, sculptures, sound equipment, sporting equipment, tooling, toys, and more.
eMachineShop is an online alternative to a machine shop: your parts will be machined and delivered from 1 to 1 million units.
At eMachineShop they do not review designs; however they encourage users to download their free software in order to determine whether eMachineShop can meet their needs. A list of productable machines is available and users can also specify special requirements using "Comments to the Machinist", and in case they are unsure about the feasibility of the required job eMachineShop will not accept a job we can't properly manufactured and/or require the customer authorization for a price adjustment.

On Net decadence

Sunday Editorial

Two weeks ago, an Australian young man has created a breakthrough in this century shopping and lifestyle when put his life for sale on e-Bay. Yes his entire life is auctioned, including:

• Name
• Phone number
• All my possessions which includes the following
• Clothes,
• Roughly 300 CDs
• Surfboard
• Laptop (minus certain information with my discretion),
• Pushbike (Has wonky handlebars, may need some work)
• Books,
• Bed
• CD player
• Backpack
• Tennis racquets
• Golf Clubs (which you will have no idea how to use)
• Childhood photos
• Skateboard
• Nice lamp which your ex-girlfriend bought you.

In addition the winner will get instructions and training in order to get this new identity including Surfing, Climbing, Skateboarding etc. and 2 more months of assistance after the actual transfer will take place.

What is amazing is that the he has obtained 48 bids reaching 7,500 AUS$! The winner is some “ridderstrade” who is now entitled to collect in Wollongong, New South Wales Nicael’s life package – which includes two enemies and some credits to be collected.

According to Nicael he is carrying out a social experiment. Nicael promises do donate 30% of the revenues to ARAFMI, an Australian association assisting mental disorders victims, and is planning to make a documentary on his experiment.

“I did this because i was a little intrigued as to what exactly constitutes a life, a little intrigued as to what people want that they aren't receiving from their current life, a little bit because I’m a socialist and was hoping to make a point that the amount and type of things that are for sale in this world is insane and wasteful, a bit because I was a little intrigued as to what makes me who I am and at exactly what point in this experiment will I lose it, if ever. Finally I think I did it because I think it will be such a strange, interesting, unprecedented, quirky and hilarious social experiment. How random is this, it's ruling! Everyone who's got behind it is ruling!”

Frankly I deem this is just a provocation, or worse probably a cheap way to reach notoriety. As a matter of fact this is another confirmation of the actual decadence of our Western culture in these days which is perfectly reflected – if not amplified – by the Internet community: side effects of a major phenomenon probably unstoppable.
