…or something like that.
Sticking to just links, since I have many, and they are big pics.

I THOUGHT we did something wrong…

Like I said, tight corners…many…on one layer.

Hey, should that epoxy be in there?

240lbs engineer’s repeatitive jumping, and my own attacks, FINALLY broke it!!! Strong stuff.

Note the top and bottom corners. Problems with sticky carbon, it doesn’t like to slide into tight spots.

DIE!

Almost in bloom. HAHAHA…yeah, one day.

Aforementioned issues of not getting that junk in the corners. Sand flat, and gaps happen. ARG.

I enjoyed killing the piece…then realized I didn’t have any arm protection on after all the cutting dust shot on my arm!!! ARG! I hate glass itch!

For glass itch… Powder up with baby podwer first as it will plug the pores and prevent glass getting in there.

Plus always take a cold shower and not a hot one as that opens the pores to get the glass deeper too!

#3

babypowder eh? wonder if that is allowed…ya know, cleanroom wannabe style of work area :slight_smile:
I’ll check it out though.

#4

Dude…what the hell is that?

I have absolutely no idea what it is that you are doing or trying to make…it baffles me to no end

#5

haahaa!!! Maybe I should keep you guessing?
Here is a hint: It will have a log periodic feed on it.

#6

Means absolutely nothing to me…sorry.

Im “tech” tarded.

#7

I have several guess’s:

CF satelite dish
CF wireless antena
CF wireless signal booster
Some sort of sound amplifier
Or a deathray.

#8

I vote for the death ray.

I dont know enough about dishes to know exactly how they work or why carbon would be beneficial to one.

#9

What are we going to do today brain?

Try to take over the world :eek:

#10

Greatest cartoon ever made.

Back on topic: You can run a current through carbon which is why I think its an electrical product.

#11

1: CF satellite dish
2: secondary function, is yes, a deathray. Pump 1kw @ 2.45GHz and aim it at someone…just be far away when you turn it on.
3: CF IS a good conductor. We are (sorry, THEY) wanting us to build with no metal front. Problem is, if lightning hits it, there is no dissapative layer, it all gets absorbed, and goes POOFY!
I want to see THAT testing aftermath!!!

#12

Thats pretty cool.

If they know it will melt/blow up (when lightning strikes) then at least you have repeat business when they need a new one.

#13

or a lawsuit? Eh, that isn’t my job, I don’ sell them, I just make what I’m told to make!
