My personal art project for this quater---is a PVC BMX frame and fork, it will be all race ready equipment with the most near perfect pcv sprinkler looking paint job I can make . Earlier this year I made a Bamboo BMX frame and fork, It has been alot of fun whaching the reactions to this very beleavable art work, and two weeks ago I used it to come in fifth at the ABA Worlds in Reno Nevada.

scott, the connecting rod mold will produce an aluminum die cast part, and the hanger mold will produce a plastic part. (We build Aluminum die cast molds, and plastic injection molds.)

 

BTW, post a pic of the pvc bike frame if ya can. I'd be interested in seeing that.

Some tooling kits for a machine that does some kind of materials characterization. All stainless parts Turning Milling Wire EDM. We supply the whole kit so the biggest pain in the arse has been getting the foam lined plastic boxes just right.

 

Starting a 316 stainless steel micronizer which has some nifty undercut surface machining. Thankfully V9.1 should make this programming task much smoother. Customer is really trying to micromanage this one. He has called 3 times and I haven’t even received the material yet !

Well getting our department ready for the big move getting Machine and everything ready to move to the new plant. Then the company we originally hired to do the job showed up today one month after they had come out to get all the information and were like what you mean that machine weigh's 10,000lbs well we really cant move that machine and your SAL's might be a problem insuring we dont hurt the laser's in them. Oh that is only about 1,200,000 worth on machines. this while I am out today meeting customers trying to get new work. I get back at 4:00 pm today and well guess what we need you to line up soemone to move the machines. Got it taken care by a great outfit thank god I had moved something when them about 2 months ago.

I also am getting it done for about $4,000 cheaper than the other guys.

 

Well looks like we are for in some fun.

 

Hummmmm there some more of them grey hairs.
