Sigh.

Wondering if it should bother me that people 'seem' to be figuring me out.   :paranoia:

'Zee Ratio'. I like that. Let's see...over the last two years...

where 'projects started' > 0...
'projects completed' / 'projects started' = zee-zero  :'(

Thanks all.

Special thanks to anyone who can explain...

He is way behind on the number of posts stakes


Another zee-ratio...

'parts made' / 'pages posted' = zee-zero.

Perhaps re: Zee ratio...but what would we do without our color commentator :) Keep at it Zeepster, when you aren't around you are surely missed.

No doubt some of you remember that guy.  :lolb:

Thanks all. Very much appreciated.

Well the milling of the frames is done. Got a little filing and sanding to do.
Hopefully I'll have pics tomorrow.

But not now. That was the last operation. The operation that often results in a loud wail from southeast PA.
But not tonight!  :pinkelephant:

Might get a 1 in 12 part per page!!!

 :whoohoo:

I do remember that guy Carl, can't remember what he was advertising though...oops sorry, didn't mean to lower the ratio further. Now back to the frames...good to hear they are done and without incident too :) So what's up next?

Calling me out, eh Dave?
Just understand I was celebrating. I mean celebrating. And 'stinking hoppies' makes working a camera just as difficut (albeit safer) than working machines.  ;D

Here you go...



The eagle eyed (of which all of you are) will note the 'flash' in the top frame. My end mills are rather short.
Too deep and I got curling of metal along the top cut. Too shallow and I got a bit of 'flash'.
The flash is pretty thin. A bit of filing and sanding should take care of things. Some of it just bends off.

Bill...yeah he was around in the 70's. That was the only bit he had. Various TV shows and I think some commercials.
Just google "you don't have to call me".

And now...back to my celebrating.  ;D

Thanks! Chocolate with a hard candy coating please.  ;D

Regarding the bit of flash...Not that it matters on this but I don't know whether part of the problem was flex in clamping (i.e. bottom wasn't perfectly square) or variation in thickness. Most likely it was the clamping.

Bill...I meant to answer your question as to what's next. The immediate job will be the spacers and end supports (outriggers) so I can assemble the base.

Thanks all for watching.

But I've been called to dinner.
Russian Vegetable Pie!  :pinkelephant:
One of my favorites and she knows it's an easy way to get me to stop what I'm doing.
She has several tricks like that.  :naughty: Fooey.
Delicious. Well worth the fun in a day or two due to the cabbage.

How's the cabbage situation?  Enjoying your posts and following your build Zee.
