Northwest Dive Club

I would liken the whale's experience to standing on a rock outcrop, ready to dive into the water on a gloriously hot day in anticipation of the cool relief yet to come, only to bust your noggin' on a rock in 3' of water

I was asked by a co-worker if I would be willing to inspect their personal mooring buoy. I was happy to oblige but I know nothing about inspecting the system, what to look for, etc. I was going to take video for him to review, but I was wondering if anyone out there knew of some resources I can refe...

Even better

Forget the chick in the cat suit--that's an average Saturday night. Did anyone else notice those ride-able scooters? I mean, the ones they strapped between their legs? (Is that a scooter hanging there or . . .?) That seems like it would be wicked cool! Yeah, instead of a CUDA, its called a GOOSE! :...

Motel 6 is always a sure bet with dogs. Expediient routes is another matter. I would not go through Yosemite, maybe 395 down from Tahoe? Haven't been down that way for a long time and getting to that part of the Sierras I remember being a PITA.

What size booties - my sister is looking for a DS

Time to bust out some of your best jellyfish recipes

I'll take the pony and the undergarment. Sending PM

Some tape on the top may help limit chipping when making the final cut. I second making a rough cut first.

You can use a keyway cutter at different depths that may approximate the shape you are looking for.

LOL - not what I was thinking, although terco is more appropriate.

And what does Cabazon mean in Spanish????

Its actually not very smooth. The resulting 'print' has ridges in it from the extrusion. Almost like a tightly coiled-up piece of play-doh. Its best suited for rapid prototyping of rough parts with tolerances down to around .005 at its absolute best. I'd expect it to hold .010 or .015 Like the first...

What are you going to make with it? They are cool but I couldn't really think of anything I'd print with it. But they're very cool. I'm trying to get my boss to front the project. We reverse-engineer stuff for customers and could use it for prototyping. For myself, I just like making things. I hone...

If I asked my friend for a drink of water and he proceeded to blast me in the face with a firehose, he would no longer be my friend

Will the undergarment fit someone 6'0" and ~210 lbs?

I'm sure all you DIY geeks can appreciate this.

Working at a machine shop has its benefits.....

I may be wrong, but it doesnt seem like blasting with a fine media like aluminum oxide would remove enough material to impact the integrity. I would assume more material is removed through dents, dings and scratches than anything else. Blasting with steel shot - now that is probably quite a bit diff...

What about acid etching and anodizing?

If you are talking about the 2nd photo, that is a stubby squid, not an octo at all.

Not even just a little bit?

Make sure you practice on Mourning Wood

Nice pics.

Could the unknown be a salp?

Pusher block

That blue-tinged octo looks like it belongs on a velvet painting.

Nice pics.
