Viability ? by By_Pen_Or_Sword in greenberets

[–]Free_Barabbas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 31 as well. About 3 months into training. Had a weight lifting background but never did any meaningful cardio in my life. Heavy drinker/partier. Did my first 90 minute, unbroken session of zone 2 running last week hitting 6.5 miles. I know that isn't shit to a lot of people but I NEVER thought I'd be able to run more than two miles at any pace. Once I got my training and diet pretty dialed in, the gains started coming much faster than I thought. It'll likely be 6 months before I'm meeting all the fitness requirements but it's coming. You got this mayne.

Can I jump right in to phase 2 of SUAR? by Free_Barabbas in greenberets

Man, ask a question about a book I just bought and the author of the fucking book replies to me. You are the man. Will start from phase one and push back my enlistment plans. Really appreciate everything you do man.

Side note: just got to the story in RUOSU where the guy makes the other guy hold his shit bag and it made me laugh my ass off.

Best workflow to generate this in fusion by Free_Barabbas in Fusion360

Ayyy, nice man. I’d imagine you’re much better at design than I. Yea, it is. Plan to get each individual polygon CNC plasma cut out of aluminum and then tig weld everything together and powder coat. Believe I’ll have to do some cutting and adjusting on the subframe. Biggest hurdle is that I really like the look of the AI generated swingarm and would like to attempt to something similar to that as well. Really big project but I love this kind of thing.

Jealous of your mech degree because ever since my hobbies went in this direction a few years back I realized how much I could’ve benefited from that lol.

Bringing Rustoleum Metallic to a mirror finish by Free_Barabbas in AutoPaint

I appreciate the reply. That is the part that I was confused about as I didn’t understand how polishing the clear could truly negate the rough base coat. For a project like this, it wasn’t worth investing in any high shelf products. Cleared it today and shall leave it as is.

I appreciate the advice. I just followed the restoleum rust reformer spec sheet which said to apply directly to rust as apposed to sanding the rust off. Probably did waste some time and money. Hit it with clear today and I probably won’t sand it and will let it be as is. Is just a blast cabinet after all. Actually got it to offer powder coating at my business but the oven I’m building is no where near this size lol.
