[MetalMarvels]

[steve f]

A 4 cavity thermoforming mold for cookie trays (oreo style). About 300 .025" dia. holes to create vaccum in cavities...nasty.

[Rekd™]

Well, I finished my Rum & Coke; it turned out very good!

 

Then I made a few vacuum fixtures to put up on the rotabs and dialed in some wave guides. What a trick it is to get the vacuum lines to rotate without binding or getting stuck. Methinks it's time to put some vacuum lines THRU the Gerrardi with swivil connectors so this won't be a problem. I've almost got the boss convinced it's HIS idea to put the vacuum lines thru the Gerrardi's, just incase the Gerrardi's don't survive...

[Sandybar]

Well, all week long working on a forming die, wishing I was fishing instead. Well maybe next week we will go fishing.

 

 

Uh-Oh boss says no to the fishing I guess next week it will be more of the same.
