12:01 AM aandrew: rue_mohr: https://eater.net/vga might interest you
12:27 AM rue_mohr: I'm not casting the on concrete! that would be insane, I just use it to set up the mold
12:27 AM rue_mohr: yea, I'm looking forward to getting the rest of the blocks done
12:28 AM rue_mohr: but I forgot to machine them with a bit of a gap for the two halves
12:28 AM rue_mohr: I'll set that up before I machine the top pieces
12:28 AM rue_mohr: they are an excellent fit tho, so I might just take it back like 1mm
12:28 AM rue_mohr: drilling all the way thru will be interesting
02:22 AM WormFeud is now known as WormFood
08:10 AM aandrew: I figured, that's why I was asking wtf
08:13 AM rue_mohr: :)
08:13 AM rue_mohr: Now that the table is closer I only have to take the mold off and set it down behind me
08:13 AM aandrew: looks like that was a bit of a pain to move, how big is that slab
08:13 AM rue_mohr: I have a new spill pan too
08:14 AM rue_mohr: oh its a few hundred lbs
08:14 AM rue_mohr: it was downhill tho
08:14 AM rue_mohr: if it hadn't been for that block I forgot to pull out it would have probably done everything itself
08:15 AM aandrew: I'd imagine casting on dirt would be dangerous too, just not perhpas as explodey as concrete
08:19 AM rue_mohr: too much water just messes with the casting
08:19 AM rue_mohr: the steam just pushes back the aluminum
08:19 AM rue_mohr: nothing crazy

10:48 PM rue_mohr: getting there with the new base for the table saw
10:49 PM rue_mohr: I screwed up the height and had to move it all down
10:49 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/slide.htm <-- at some point that might be easier
11:50 PM rue_mohr: the saw dates from between 1945 and 1951

11:57 PM rue_mohr: its just a hand drawing, but they have SOMETHING on the T square and I dont know what it is..
11:57 PM rue_mohr: and they have a blade guard on there, which I'm not sure if there is actually a mount for.
