Not stressed at all about it my friend.
How about an electric powered sauna or mini hamam?
What was your most interesting recent non solar project?

How about an electric powered sauna or mini hamam?

Sauna??!!?? Yeah, when you're sweating gallons in the heat, the best idea is to build a box where you can sweat bullets in the heat??

Yeah man, the idea is to get your skin pores open and really clean and help you recover from physical activity. I hear it has a lot of benefits for your body. I am over forty and i am starting to pay more attention to all this stuff.Sauna??!!??

I live in humid south louisiana. If my pores get more open you'll be able to see right through me.

Yeah up in the Nordic countries you need to build a box for the experience you get for free walking out the door.

3d printing is fine and dandy but liquid metal!

How do you cast a complex shape unless first you build a mold...one that can take the temperature of this liquid metal?

For example, these are 3 aluminum plates i casted to test the Whitworth method to create flat surfaces. Look at the interferences fringes in the last pic, how straight they are, i got that cast to be less than 2 micron across flatness.

I saw this from a documentary of the Parthenon in Greece. That is how they got the different sections of the columns flat enough to mate with nothing but wooden plugs to center them.

Crap! I really should stop watching this thread.
You all have already fueled my addictions enough with the solar batteries and enough blue going into my RV to make @sunshine_eggo feel like a proud papa smurf.
Now my wife caught me surfing the web looking at 3D printers, which I tried to change tabs only to have it go to metal casting. Oops!
Now, instead of getting to go to sleep tonight, I know we are going to have "the talk" a about "projects" and why no cars (meaning her car) can fit in the garage.
I don't think she likes this forum. We already had to deal with a week of my kids trying to figure out how they can get their hands on a prehistoric bison skeleton!
Crap. Stop doing so many cool things!

I didnt knew that. I know that the 3 plate method is very old and Whitworth popularized it. Today is commonly referred with his name.
I went through a phase of obsession with lapping plates a couple of years ago. Now i am almost cured.

The museum borrowed an ice age mammoth tusk for our latest display. In exchange for the loan we had to do a little restoration. My job was to glue all the pieces back together. My next job will be to get it out of the sand box without breaking it again.

Not the most interesting but maybe the most redneck. Acetylene powered golf ball cannon.
