How many people would be interested in pitching in to share a booth at SBE 2012? I was thinking it might be fun to get everyone to pitch in and share a booth through all 4 days of the show. Booth cost: $1,130 (not sure if there are extra costs) Thursday - 9 hours Friday - 9 hours Saturday - 9...

Great, hope you enjoy them. What I did was kick back and watch each of them all the way through. Then on the 2nd round I took notes and left gaps on the pages. Then on the 3rd round I had questions to answer and also filled in the gaps with stuff I didn't catch the 2nd time. Enjoy.

There's a cool idea but it's certainly not up to me. Do an open auction. Take bids until Friday midnight or something like that. I'll start it at $100

I have 4 still available.

Lucite, thanks I'll look into that as well. I have a machinist friend who was telling me a couple weeks ago all about urethane and how they can make it vast densities and forms, from thin bags to industrial apps. He told me a story about a company that brought in a huge heavy machine and when...

Interesting and thanks. I know glass is considered amorphous. Just wondering how long it would take that KK to actually distort? If its like glass and takes close to a century no biggie, but if I will move as Chopdoc suggested than that would do me no good. I need it to be solid and for a long...

I have an idea I want to try but I will need to build up a crystal clear finish along the entire wrap section about an 1/8" thick. Any ideas on what I could use that's both hard, won't crack or distort and will polish to a glass like finish? I was thinking maybe liquid resin, like they use to...

You might be better off using Gorilla Hair. Its a liquid resin with strands of fiberglass in it. I had an old truck that someone torched a big hole through the floor to put in a shifter. I didn't have a welder so I used that stuff to hold that hunk of metal in the hole. I hit it with a maul and...

:D That's damn funny! OK, so my first idea isn't the greatest. But, the 2nd isn't so bad. That could be fun... isn't that part of what this is supposed to be about? A little imagination and it could look really good and doesn't really change the cue any. Cutting out little gingerbread men would...

Thought of something else (I'm bored at work.... again). Instead of thinking of it as a problem, think of something fun to do with them. Maybe make a kind of collage. Wood, ivory, sythetics, marble, etc... You could get some 1/8" veneer. Get several different colored pieces and stack them. Cut...

I thought of a way that might work. Sounds like a pain to me and initially expensive but if these are cues you put a lot of work on..... Well take it for what it's worth. This may lead to a better idea. Figure you smallest diameter after the rubber is removed Buy a gun drill for that diameter...

I was thinking maybe build it up with a hard finish. Not going to work if you have to build it up an 1/8 inch. Sorry, don't even have a decent suggestion.

Mandrels Actually, I started designing a set. I was at my friends shop and showed him some sets out of carbide. He thought making them out of hardened toolsteel would work well and he could make and harden them fairly easy. He said he would have no problem getting them to 65 Rockwell. The one...

Me too, I've been wanting a good way to store those... this is even better. I bet hanging it from the ceiling will work great :)

I didn't go to the Mods and as far as I know I've never even swapped a PM with one but I am glad they said something. This crap gets pretty old. Reread the above stuff and you'll see it has nothing at all to do with Joe's Mandrels which is what I keep popping in here to read. Just pointless...

How much do you need to build it up?

Looks to me like the Cutter Comp is messing you up when it switches directions on the X axis. If you're not using CC then make sure there is no dwell set at the ends. I would also consider Climb Milling the Finish pass. Converntional milling (cutter and tool path both going clockwise) tends to...

I wondered the same thing when I saw them the other day. Then I realized it is just the lighting. I run into the same problem photgraphing antiques glass. Try taking a pic of a 100 year old piece of glass without making it look like it has been rubbed on concrete and you'll know what I mean. It...

Thanks but he has already paid. I do have the 2nd set of 2 VHS/DVD still available.
