I've kinda lost the plot the last couple years. Been doing stuff that's too mad for Madmodder. See this, for example. And try not to get a fright!
...... I'd like to make a thread for that when I get around to it. Really I should've made a thread about that mask since alot of the stuff involved is fairly interesting. At least I think it is. But it's taken me this long to get over the embarrassment.

Simon that was FANTASTIC! I don't know what you're talking about... "embarassment" :wack:
What a tour of creative methods and problem solving, and I love the nuttiness of it, gets well past the boring YT videos for me of ten minutes of explanation of what someone is about to do, then twenty seconds of doing it, and another 5 minutes of recap and a plea to click and subscribe.
In your case I actually have to slow down the video to catch everything I'm interested in, man you trim things to the bone! Wait, what'd he do just then??? Did he just iron a drainpipe? Does he always cut towards his fingers? Wow, cool, etc.
You ought to be proud of that.
ps. my 12 yr old daughter loves fenuc foxes, but apologies if I'm wrong in my guess here.
You HAVE to at least post a link to this video in the Composites and Plastics section of Madmodder. And an apology for not trusting that we're all at least as mad as you are.
Plus we'll probably double your hits for that vid.
Simon, you're desperately needed here! :beer:

Hey that Pultra is also one I love. Very stylish and simple lines. You know, there's engineering, and then there's design. And when good examples of both come together in one object, that's art.
The word art is one that has had its true meaning lost. It's not just paintings on walls, or sculptures. It's skill at empowering objects with something beyond the ordinary.

Hey Neubert, sorry I missed your comment a few minutes ago. Thank you kindly as well, too, buddy! It's people like you that spur me on to get moving and posting! You make this fun.. :beer:

Frankly, I like the lines of yours much better than either of those examples! Bring on the brass, and lovin' those acorn nuts!

Thanks WR! :beer:
Of course I didn't make the nuts. :lol: But I bet Andrew could with that CNC lathe of his that turned the brass screws in a minute or so... :thumbup:
