Because noneed, the third world barely civilized societies america invades don't have stairs

why dont i just get a bigger wheer that will climb over it either way?

Like this guy ?

Where I work the young engineers wear hoodies at work, the rest dress how they dress. T-shirts to dress shirts. The only guy who I see wear a suit is the boss of the department.

My workplace is so damn hot that most of the time we don't wear more than a coverall and boxers against the chafing. And we try to have the coverall cover as little of our body as possible unless it needs, so pretty much just 'jeans' and a boxer most of the time

Clutch the dark purple hairs of the galloping orangutan of normalicy and ride, nigga ride!

>>4512
is that fucking interpol?

my dads a programer with a degree in EE, he wears polos and jeans on the reg.

look up the gothic arch, they're difficult to construct out of balsa, but if you make an effective jig to form it, they can be insanely strong.

I made a 2' tower out of balsa using 4 gothic arches, and it held 136lbs. it weighed less than an ounce.

Back in my day, all the fancy suspension style bridges made of balsa for this test failed miserably. It's a great design with heavy materials IRL, but doesn't scale well to a brittle wood. The design that held the most while still remaining light was basically a straight mimicry of cardboard, plain and simple.

>>5644
this is awesome, please do it
also, you will need someone who has done an engine swap before (or atleast replaced an engine)

you're gonna need a crane

>>5682
and a crance for the crane

I should also mention that I would preferably log to an SD card, not having the device tethered 24/7. nb

You can import values into the office packet and make graphs and staples out of it

I think it even can do live plots with a ODBC driver

i dont know OP why don't you find a nice, high cliff, give it a shot and report back with pictures your death.

>>5621
Fuck you, you shitposting faggot.

I hate this age where you have to be a fucking certified genius to legally build a toy of wood twine and tarp

Stop being a pussy OP

do it, but with a 2hp motor and a prop.

jolly good fun.

Careful, you could land on these assholes.

Two long poles and some heavy cloth? (everyone runs away) OH WAIT

your work may not be sitting exactly flat on the collet. make sure there's no burrs on it (or the part itself) when you clamp it down. What are your feed/speeds like? material? Like the above poster said, a slower speed might help.

>>5568
also make sure the part is getting enough coolant

is the lathe sitting on complete level ground? also try finding a good speed if its to slow it will heat up fast resulting in overusing coolant, just pay attention to the speed and the color of the metal, make sure its fairly clean of burs and don't speed up slow down whilst in motion.. test an offcut before you find the correct drilling speed

i can post a similar picture to you from my engineering book for you if that will help?

could the reamer be 2 thou of centre?

If time isn't an issue, try oshpark.com. It's a batch pcb service, so you're limited to the standard stackup, and the turn time can be a few weeks. but that's probably going to be one of the cheapest routes.

If you have a little more money to spend, silvercircuits.com is also a good deal with a slightly quicker turn time. Plus they are good about working with you on more complex designs (plated slots, cutouts, odd shapes, etc.)

If speed is your priority, there are services like pcbfabexpress and protoexpress that can get it done in less than a week, but prepare to pay much more for a 4 layer board.

I've used all of these services in the past and haven't had any issues.

>>5648

Thanks man, I'm gonna shoot oshpark an email.

It's stronger than a flat wall using the same amount of concrete. It's just the concrete equivalent of corrugated cardboard...

>>5639
sounds legit, could you tell me more?

didn't proofread, but the formulas are right, that's really about the limitation of my intrest, if you want a better/more accurate verbal explanation just torrent a statics book.

I'm planning on using a shop-vac on a blowing setting as my bellows soon for my next iteration of the design. nb

>>5636
There are a couple of ways to go about this. you can either make a charcoal/coke forge, or a propane forge.

I highly recommend propane, although it's slightly more difficult to build. it still only takes simple plumbing parts, a bit of welding, and an empty propane tank.

if you go for the solid fuel forge, then a grill can be pretty easily modified into a workable forge, or even a brake drum can be effective, but you'll need to buy/make a blower.
