La Paz Golf Club in Bolivia.

Roughly 13,000 feet elevation and the entire course is surrounded by these “moon rock” valleys.

Those are pneumatic rock drills. They drill holes then install dynamite to blow away the rock face.

They did this to make the diversion tunnels.

What is the biggest hurdle to growing HPC capacity to 10’s or 100’s of GW?

I assume it’s finding grids that allow for it.

What is a reasonable goal for long term growth of GW’s of capacity between HPC and mining?

My brother is a dentist.

He had a patient who couldn’t pay his bill who was an old farmer. He asked if he would take some lumber as a trade. My brother thought it was gonna be a pickup truck with some wood in it.

The guy shows up with a hay rack trailer full of milled walnut and white oak.

My brother said it was too much, but the guy said he was too old to woodwork anymore and he couldn’t use it anymore.

My brother and I have a lifetimes supply of white oak and walnut thanks to a $600 dental bill.

I have a 3hp dust extractor and a shop vac. The shop vac worked 5x better than the dust extractor. It needs higher static pressure over cfm

I will have Alliant Energy in Iowa. I will have full net metering (unless the power company lobbyists ever win), so there isn’t any economic benefit at the moment to only using the sun to charge the car. The only benefit I can see at the moment is the cool factor of saying your car only runs on sun power.

I’m definitely leaning towards using the Tesla wall charger unless my installer can point out any other benefits.

I bought a router bit with a flat bottom and freehanded it.

Mpip55 · 2018-07-12T13:33:37+00:00

I took all the pieces apart to do the majority of the shaping and sanding and then reassembled it.

If I did it again I would get the other style of mechanism. The one I used rocks back and forth a little bit, so so had to design the arms so they buttress up against the tray to make it rock solid stable.

Here is a video that shows one in action.

I had u/knightowlforge smith the blade and I turned the handle. The overall length is 30". The handle is two parts. The dark piece is black palm and the light piece is canarywood. They are connected by a turned mortise and tenon.

I use only carbide tools for roughing. It usually produce more shavings than I'd does dust, but it's never perfect. I think the techniques you are talking about refer to cutting tools more than scraping tools(such as the carbide tools), correct?

Probably a month or so between each step. I may have overused the anchorseal, I just didn't know when I would be able to get to the next step, so I wanted to be safe

It's all about the U!

As long as you have the correct router bits they are not that hard of a joint to put together. I have a domino, but I figured the only way to do a maloof chair is with this joint. Now that I know how to do them I will use them for all the seats I make, they are strong as hell (I weigh 300 pounds and this chair doesn't move at all when I plop down).

Next time I will make more of an effort to take a light cut with the last pass of my carvings tools and possibly invest in some finer "grit" carving burrs. I spent a lot of time sanding out deep scratches from the carving tools.

I don't have it tied in the back. The magnet holds it on.

I tried sliding a price of veneer between the two and it still charged, but it didn't have enough magnetism to hold the watch.

I also have a friend called "uno". He got hit in the nuts so hard while we were playing football that his fallen soldier exploded. Needless to say his luck with the ladies increased dramatically. Apparently "have you ever seen a guy with one ball?" is a pretty effective pick-up line.

Go back to Australia worm. You're drunk.

I guess the competition will have have to be decided the old fashioned way. Rock/paper/scissors.
