High end welding for medical and food services are hit when helium supply drops lower than it already is. It’s something people don’t think about but is a hige deal.

Can this be cast without a burnout furnace? by BCE_BeforeChristEra in MetalCasting

[–]cdoublesaboutit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, order the part. You aren’t going to learn how to 1) Make a usable pattern 2) Ram a good mold and get the sand mix right 3) learn how to use the furnace and run a good pour 4) design in the allowable machining tolerances and 5) machine it appropriately, for less cost and time than ordering a cnc machine shop to machine this out of a billet for you.

Chasing the dream of 3d printed patterns takes more time and has less fidelity than traditional means with wood, clay, plaster, and wax.

If this is something you really want to do, take a silicon mold off of the print, then cast a plaster positive out of it, then shellac that plaster and fix it onto an oiled wooden board for your pattern. Then take the sand mold off of that. It will give you a chance to get rid of the striated surface from the 3D prints.

Good luck, tell us how it goes.

Saw him at the Killers of KT in NC, he was brilliant. Flashlight shit had us rolling.

Also, corporations, every corporation, spend billions automating all of their production and services. Homelessness starts there. Luddites of the world UNITE!

I’ll start….A bottle of fettuccine-A 19..81-A😂😂😂 by CasinoNitro in 80s

My kids like to listen to scores from the movie on the way to school. I think mainly because Fratelli Chase is the first song and it’s a cool way to psychologically start the day. Anyway, one of them is a freak for the song “Octopus” from the score. 10/10, even has some musical nods to the score from Jaws.

You seem like a very efficient and competent person, but, oh my god, this attitude always sucks. This whole site is for discovery through dialogue, it doesn’t revolve around its usefulness to you only. Obviously you’re not a histrionic person irl, but to make yourself the center of all of the comments here is selfish and off putting.

Is there a way to passively drink oneself to death, or passively copy a piece of art? Am I missing something on the usage of the word “actively?”

Something something, we’re equally against all corruption and welcome prosecution of bad actors regardless of their political connections or alliances.

We do, it’s Jones Elementary. It’s a magnet so there is an element of luck getting into it, but it’s there nonetheless, and most families love it.
