03:13 PM rue_shop1: is there a tit in the middle????
03:13 PM rue_shop1: looks awesome
03:43 PM Tom_L: yeah i used a different cutter than i wanted to
03:43 PM Tom_L: working on the other half
06:10 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1170044.jpg
06:10 PM rue_mohr: this is brutal
06:10 PM rue_mohr: I cut rocks down for like 4 hours on thursday and didn't get a row finished
06:11 PM rue_mohr: I'm doing a great job of turning lots of rocks into small peices
06:22 PM Tom_L: ok, first top was too big. fixing i hope..
06:23 PM Tom_L: i realized they both can't be the same size
06:23 PM Tom_L: now i'll probably get it too small
06:32 PM Tom_L: rue_mohr, are you part of a chain gang now?
06:38 PM zhanx_workshop: did rue_mohr go to jail?
06:38 PM Tom_L: he's out smashing rocks...
07:17 PM zhanx_workshop: i am thinking of making so concrete forms
07:17 PM zhanx_workshop: and he is making dust

08:07 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/Brass_cup/Brass_Cups4.jpg
08:09 PM zhanx_workshop: nice whats it for?
08:09 PM Tom_L: you don't know?
08:09 PM Tom_L: me either!
08:09 PM Tom_L: just an exercise in custom threads
08:11 PM jymmmm: Tom_L: did you do those?
08:19 PM Tom_L: yes
08:20 PM Tom_L: was a good test of my cad cam thread macro i wrote
08:21 PM jymmmm: Tom_L: they look really good. Can you do longer threads, like 1" long?
08:21 PM Tom_L: up to the length of the cutter probably yes
08:22 PM jymmmm: Tom_L: could you do SS ?
08:22 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/thread_mills/Thread_mill2.jpg
08:22 PM Tom_L: probably
08:22 PM Tom_L: not sure if the mill would like it or not
08:22 PM Tom_L: i doubt i could machine it practically
08:23 PM jymmmm: Tom_L: I've ALWAYS wanted a walking stick that had comparts that screwed together to store stuff in, even water if you wanted to
08:24 PM jymmmm: Tom_L: maybe SS tubing, then thread like you did
08:25 PM jymmmm: then maybe laminate wood veneer over the metal. Could be alum I guess, just metal for strength mostly
09:00 PM Tom_L: you'd need a lathe for that
09:04 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/Brass_cup/Brass_Cups5.jpg
09:04 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/Brass_cup/Brass_Cups6.jpg
09:04 PM Tom_L: all shined up
09:04 PM Tom_L: i still gotta cut a thread relief so they fit all the way
09:48 PM rue_mohr: maybe I should cnc this idea
09:48 PM rue_mohr: whats 0.72mm in # drill bit?
09:49 PM rue_mohr: hmm about 69
09:49 PM rue_mohr: I dont think I have that
09:57 PM Tom_L: what you workin on?
09:58 PM rue_shop3: well, I want to make an adapter so I can plug 64 plastic fiber optic cables to an 8x8 led array
09:58 PM rue_shop3: I have _1_ 0.7mm carbide bit, I dont trust the machine not to break it
09:58 PM Tom_L: there is no 72mm drill or equivalent. the nearest is a #70 - .7112mm
09:58 PM Tom_L: .72*
09:59 PM Tom_L: #69 is .7417mm
09:59 PM rue_shop3: oh I have a #69 in here too
09:59 PM rue_shop3: it can be close
09:59 PM * Tom_L gives rue_shop3 a hand grenade for close
09:59 PM rue_shop3: the plastic fiber cables varry
10:00 PM Tom_L: oh... the led thing
10:00 PM rue_shop3: yea, I'll try 3d printing it
10:00 PM Tom_L: bar graph
10:00 PM Tom_L: did you see the finished product?
10:00 PM rue_shop3: its just burning curiosity at this point
10:01 PM rue_shop3: I'm probably going to use these plasma bar graphs
10:01 PM rue_shop3: for some reason not doing it is bothering me
10:02 PM rue_shop1: k, if I'd had a HSS drillbit for it, I'd give it a try
10:02 PM rue_shop1: hah, maybe I should make some EDM equip eh?
10:03 PM Tom_L: you'd have to get lotsa wire
10:03 PM Tom_L: or graphite
10:04 PM rue_mohr: use random wire or form cutters
10:04 PM Tom_L: the wire i saw them use was pretty fine
10:07 PM rue_mohr: yea, you can use forms and rods for plunge cuts too
10:08 PM Tom_L: yup
10:08 PM Tom_L: takes alot more juice
10:10 PM * zhanx_workshop uses his saws-all to vibrate the cement mold
10:11 PM rue_mohr: :) I thoguht that was a cool trick
10:11 PM rue_mohr: along with a drill w/crookid weight
10:13 PM zhanx_workshop: drill is harder to use really
10:31 PM rue_mohr: I beleive it
10:32 PM rue_mohr: do you put a lump in the saw or just go with nothing
10:32 PM zhanx_workshop: nothing
10:32 PM rue_mohr: cool
10:32 PM rue_mohr: no more copper fieths?
10:32 PM rue_mohr: f
10:34 PM zhanx_workshop: not since i welded in a new gate
10:34 PM rue_shop1: k
