Dr. Evil moment?

Dr. Evil moment?
"Weres the freakin Darktrooperphase 3??????!!!"
(who wouldnt mind sharks, with freakin laser beams attached to their heads)
I'm not sure about the darktrooper. It's not quite evil enough. It's quasi-evil. It's semi-evil. It's the...ohh you get the picture, just build me some new evil deathtrap that I can drop my incompetent henchmen into.
But in all seriousness, this project is coming along nicely.
Heres just a small update,
I just finihsed making the vents for the jet pack, although a small detail, took me the longest. Its comming along at a slow, but steady pace.
I also finished the walls for the topside as well.
Question, where did you find your FX helmet kit? I'd like to have just a helmet to mess around with, and was just wondering. :)
Here another update
I could have done more, but I was more busy tonight then usual.
I manageed to start the main box on the main side of the JP.
Tell me what you guys think...
Check out the Cade Skywalker thread for my work on that, Darktroopernut.
Jet Pack's looking good Tubachris. It's kind of hard for me to make out what needs to be done at this stage, but I think you've got a good grasp of the situation. Keep it up.
Doing a good job so far.
Ok guys, MAJOR UPDATE
I finally got the nerve to go down to Lowes to seek materials for my vacu-form box. The thing was that their customer servie sucks! I called for someone to help me at leat 45 times, becuase I wanted to get a sheet of MDF cut down. No one ever came, so I took initiative, and found already cut down wood that will work other then the MDF. Its 2ft x 2ft table now, took me 2 and 1/2 hours to build tonight. I put a hole through the center (well almost center) as. Its simply amaziing how I managed to build this thing from only a dremel, some left over screws, and $13 worth of wood....Anywyas, Im hoping to convice my mom to let me use her oven, an another reason for her to kill me...
Well despite my fiasco at lowes on my search to find someone in my almost blind anger, I came across the hardest piece I thought I would take forever to find. For the jet pack, there is on the sides of the protruding boxes at the top, a round piece, which I could not find anywhere in the hardware store, but just came across this accidentally. Matches perfectly, despite the square thing in the middle, but I dont care at this point.
Chris, this is just amazing. I've always wanted to do a Darktrooper myself, but never gave it any real consideration as I never had the resources (or skills :D ) to do it. Seeing you take the plunge into something that has never been done before (at least that I have seen) with very little reference and what must have been a hard start is awesome and just downright respectable.
If, in the future, you do decide to use the bucks to sell a few copies, I may be interested (I'll leave it at that :lol )
Chris...for your Vaccumtable box, you might get some silicone via a caulking gun, or one of the squeeze tube ones, and line the inside of it...make it pretty much so no air can leak through...and it will give you way better suction.

Yea, I was acctually about to do this, but I was soooooo tired after building the thing by hand. I'll take note to do that before I begin.
Thanks again guys for your support!:thumbsup
Just to keep you guys updated, I went ahead and sealed the inside of the box and acquired some saw horses for it. I built two equal holding frames as well. What I have left to do before its ready, is I have to attach some hinges, and improv a locking/ mechanism for it as well. Then, I need to construct an oven. I plan to build a box, equal to the holding frame, line the inside with that heat resitant, reflective metalic tape, and then put together 3 rows of 3, of those IR bulbs, the red ones that are meant for generating heat. So those are the only things left for that.
To add to this, a fellow Tuba player, who is actually just short of my height, and general size wants to help, so he as well can have a Darktrooper suit. I plan to go to home depot this sunday, and pick up some MDF sheets, and start constructing the arm piece, wrist gauntlets, hand guards and possibly biceps. These are what Im planning but it still depends on when I get the proper tools. LOL I put my poor dremel through hell getting it this far.
Arg... Update
I just finished weatherstripping the platen (table top surface of the machine) and it looks like that will keep it airtight with the frame on top. About the frame, I had built two "almost" identical frames, but I mathamatically screwed up the measurements, making them too narrow, and not even with the box itself, plus, I need to use a different method of attachment between each piece as well. I learned that my grandfather has a whole garage of power tools, and that I may use anything thats in there for this project, so Im going down there tomorrow, which will speed up the project. Also, I went to lowes and was looking at the Halogen bulbs, and I was trying to find what are called "IR bulbs," sopposed to be for generating heat. I saw a lable saying "internal reflective" bulbs, but I was not sure exactly if that was it. If anyone knows what Im trying to find, please let me know. Thanks guys!
Dang dude, nice work there. Oh and since its one o'clock AM. You must be hardcore at making costumes! :lol
I went down, and got some power tools for making the molds. I acquaired a hand powered circular saw, a jigg saw, belt sander, and a hand planer. I still need to get one of those smaller hand sanders though. I can start making the molds this week once I get the MDF sheets from home depot. One major step closer to getting this completed!!!
Nice to see you still going full bore on this. Do you know of any other members in your area that could help you out instaed of you making it a one man project?
Two heads are always better than one, and it makes the work go a lot faster as well.
Good luck, and I look forward to more progress pics..
cant wait to see the finished armor!
But If I get accepted, I'll be leaving for FSU in June, so I have a fe months.
Commander Voltairecant wait to see the finished armor!
You know, thats exactly what Ive been thinking too! lol
I just got my first hand introduction into the world of power tools and the world of sawdust....
I began making the layers for my first mold. It is for the helmet modification of the backpiece, for the FX helmet. My jigg saw busted on me (its old, and just bought $10 saw blades too!:thumbsdown:thumbsdown) So I was reduced to using my larger circular saw, to cut around the lines, and then use my dremel to cut partially in the excess to weaken the wood, and then sanded it down with the belt sander. I cut out two shapes but my tracer piece is sanded down to its final shape before I go ahead and glue all needed 14 layers....Enjoy.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|We rescued Bandit in November when he was three months. He was skittish and scared. We told and constantly had to remind our kids to back off and give him room. Needless to say four months later and its all good. He now is such a loving and playful boy.
Oh I do not expect or want my kiddos to be part of training classes....I meant at home practicing etc.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I agree with Sp00ks, don't overstimulate the pup. If your oldest is only 5.5, then IMO he is too young to help in training. Although once your dog knows a command then your child can practice it with the dog. The training places I've been to and some dog events usually ask that the children be at least 10 yrs old. but our trainer has let slightly younger children participate - it depends on the dog, they either were small or calm and easy to manage.
When my twins were little (I have no other kids, just the twins) having two cats and no dogs was a handful. So best wishes to you and your family. Your older two children will probably understand what having a baby means, just reenforce the pup is a baby, needs lots of rest and lots of care.
Ok, I am by no stretch of the imagination a dog behaviorist. Or kid behaviorist. I've raised both a few times over and this is my opinion.
Kids should be allowed to give the pup attention one at a time. You are trying to keep the pup from having a traumatic experience. Kids should be calm when approaching the pup. No running, screaming, etc. The pup just left his mom and littermates. He/she will be scared enough. Try and keep the house as calm as you can especially the first week.
Expand from there and they will all be best friends eventually.
Oh and My God, kudos to you. I can't imagine 4 kids and a pup.
Our puppy and our kiddos
Our pup will be coming home on or after March 15th. I read so many bad cases with dogs and kids and actually my son was bit by a foster boxer this past summer. My kids are 5 1/2 Boy(he was the one bit in the face....he was about three feet from the dog when the bit happened, I was right there....the dog just jumped up an bit him....he was evaluated through the boxer rescue and decided they could not adopt him out so he was put to sleep sadly, he had some major issues and a sad past that we were not informed of) 4 1/2 girl, and 2 1/2 year old twin boys. How do I go about the first few days,months,etc of their interactions? I will never leave them alone of course. But how much interaction is okay? Should the older kids help in training? Any other info is appreciated.

I had a call this afternoon from a site concierge office from a temp who was at her wits end. A resident was furious that after having flown back in this morning was trying to get some rest but was being disturbed by residents above.
The concierge replayed a recording of what sounded like the Tanzanian wildebeast migrations.
As the flat above is social housing ( the inevitable mixed tenancies in London) and is a family unit, her approach was rebuffed with a what do you expect and an invitation to copulate with herself.
They are ignoring my shaming of the social housing partner to stump up towards the secure play area for children, paid for by everybody ( nb the only family units are social housing) and a screened area for those who want the world to be like 6 AD, but with the mod cons and benefits.
I happened to be nearby and Mrs LHA set about cheering up the poor temp ( she is fantastic in that way) and I wandered up to loom with my Corporal Carrot persona.
Expecting to be presented with the cast of CCTV police nasty, I was met with a family fronted by several angelic under 5's literally shuddering on the spot eyes bugging out as they sucked like a vacuum on the capri sun in their hands and all clutching a chocolate bar or haribo bag.
Given their size it would be like one of us drinking a 2 liter Pepsi max and eating a sack of Mars bars, and being surprised at the outcome.
As above, charm was deployed "do you children want play in the nice gardens"? reply "Yes!!!!" and much to the displeasure of the family they had to take them out and play in the sun.
And yet as they tore around in a sugar and E something something colouring induced frenzy,the experts say that it does not affect children. Nor, those experts say, is there any need for concern about some of our communities lifestyles and it's effects on children. At least today they got some sun exercise and play and burnt the excess off.
I suspect the experts either don't have children, rarely see them as they are in the care of Grazyna from Lithuania, away at a private school, or so repressed that they are tearing off butterfly wings and being mini Dexters.
Good deed done I am hoping that Mrs LHA will let me eat at least one Mars bar.
What are my chances anyone?

Posted by Nigel Fenwick on the CIOs Blog on February 25, 2010
If the seventies and eighties were dominated by technology-led innovation, with IT in the driving seat, the nineties and two thousands was surely the period of marketing-led innovation. With the emergence of social computing as such a big influence on business, spreading rapidly beyond the sole domain of marketing, it seems we are entering a new era - the era of Social Innovation.
In this era, innovation will be driven by empowered customers and employees and IT and Marketing will need to join forces and collaborate as never before. The CIO and the CMO, IT and Marketing, will jointly power this new era of Social Innovation by bringing together their extensive domain expertise to create a Social Innovation Network.
The way I see it, true Social Innovation goes beyond customer interaction and idea generation, it requires a powerful and coordinated network of players to take customer-generated innovation and to test, scale and implement it. IT has a key role to play in this Social Innovation Network as the broker, helping to connect the network players and components and to establish the management, strategy and technological backbone of the network.

If they are on the kid kart, they are the right wheels to learn. When she gets the hang of it, narrow up the rear wheels (up to 3.25") to get more roll out and top speed. If you go with the skinny ones right off the bat and she can't handle the kart because it is too loose, you may be taking a step back. If you only have the skinnier rears, work on the total rear width by moving the hubs in or out on the axle to adjust for loose or tight conditions.

We invite you to view a slice of ordinary/extraordinary life in Israel in this video.
Be'er Sheva is an ancient/modern desert city that most people visit, if they ever go there, because of its first-rate university (Ben Gurion) and its hospital, one of the busiest in Israel. But like many forgotten places in various parts of the world, it's also home for a certain number of people, nearly 200,000 of them.
Now that Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and practically every other Israeli community in the southern half of Israel have experienced the blood-chilling sound of air-raid sirens in the past three days (and in some places, many repeats of the experience), it may be interesting for people living far from here to see and hear what it feels like from the ground.
We don't know the exact number, but the residents of Be'er Sheva have experienced dozens of incoming missile warnings since Wednesday night. The one captured in this video involves multiple rockets flying in from Gaza. Through the magic of videography, they appear here as floating fairy lights in an ink-black sea of heavens above the ground-level festivities of an ordinary shopping center.
Then one after another in rapid succession they are extinguished. The reality of what is happening is much less poetic, but astonishing when you pause to think about it: an anti-missile technology that did not exist anywhere in the world is now knocking these terrorist flying bombs out of the sky as the ordinary folk who are the actual targets of an attempt to kill them in quantities watch from below and quietly applaud.
It's larger than life. But it's life. Our life, for now.
Many people lack a factual understanding of events in our region because the media report them inadequately. We blog here because our daughter Malki, murdered at the age of 15 in a restaurant massacre in Jerusalem, was a victim of jihadist hatred and barbarism. For jihadism and terrorism to end in Israel, New York, Madrid, London and everywhere else, people first need to understand the scale on which it is happening and why. This ongoing war is killing us.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - North Carolina blanked Boston College 4-0 Thursday night to close out the regular season and improve to 14-2-1 overall and 6-1-1 in conference play.
Carolina controlled possession much of the first half, with Andy Craven putting the Tar Heels on the board in the 20th minute with a shot off the far post on an assist by Mikey Lopez.
Carolina took a 1-0 lead into the half, outshooting Boston College 6-1 in the first period.
Eight minutes into the second half, Danny Garcia added a second strike for the Tar Heels, lifting the ball over the Boston College keeper off a free kick 20 yards out.
Alex Olofson registered his first career goal later in the second half, just 15 seconds after re-entering the game. The Tar Heel freshman deposited the ball into the back of the net from 12 yards out on a slotted pass by Craven to make it 3-0 Carolina.
The Tar Heels added their fourth an final goal in the 82nd minute. Olofson played a corner kick to Craven in front of the net. Craven rebounded the ball to Raby George, who also notched his first goal of the season with a clean shot eight yards out.
The Tar Heels outshot the Eagles 17-6 in their fourth straight win over Boston College, with Scott Goodwin recording his 37th career shutout and 13th of the season. Boston College dropped to 8-5-4 and 3-2-3 in the ACC.
North Carolina has secured the No. 2 seed in next week's ACC Tournament and will face the No. 7 seed in the quarterfinal on Tuesday in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels will face one of three possible opponents as the 5-7 seeds remain up in the air.
Stay tuned to GoHeels.com for more information on the Tar Heels in the ACC Tournament.

Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, which spent its first month on Wednesday nights on Disney XD, premiered a special two-part episode last Friday night. Now it has just been announced that the show will move again, this time to Sunday mornings at 10am ET, starting this Sunday, December 5, with the all-new episode Masters of Evil!
I'm not sure if this is news we really want to hear. I hope that Avengers' rating aren't floundering. Constant timeslot shuffling can be an indication that the show isn't performing as expected, and sometimes under-performing shows are moved to allow another show to benefit from its timeslot. However, this movement could be killer to Avengers because it is not a time that most people would watch. If you are up on a Sunday morning, you are most likely at church or a sports practice.
Plus, the uninformed fans of the show will wonder why it isn't on Wednesday nights and may not bother to find out where it has gone. The average fan can't be counted on to keep up with all of these schedule changes, and with a continuity heavy show like this one, the fans might get lost in the shuffle. My fingers are crossed.

So some of these questions might come off as ignorant, but I have a lot to learn! I am a current student, and I'm planning on teaching abroad in the (semi) near future. I always planned on traveling, and being an education major, I fell in love with the prospect of experiencing another culture partnered with teaching.
I plan on getting my TEFL certification, but I have a few questions that google can't seem to answer. I knwo you can either take it in the classtoom, or online. I'm wondering if taking the course online will yield the same kind of certification. I need to finish my degree before I can pursue any kind of TEFL career, and next year I do plan on living in New York City, but at the time I'm anticipating working full time and going to school full time, and taking it online would really cater more to my learning style and when I'm available. I'm planning on taking the 120 hour course (from what I understand this one is the most desirable), but will taking it online affect my certification? From what I've read, there are so many required in-class hours teaching ESL, and I don't see how I would get this taking the online course, unless there is some kind of substitute? I don't know the innerworkings of the course and am therefore having a hard time making the decision. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. :-)

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Wyliefan, Nov 18, 2011.
Apparently there's new information about her death. There'll be a press conference tomorrow.
Wow, after all these years?
Talk about a cold case.
I wonder what new information the police found. IIRC, her death was originally ruled an accident.
A book has just come out written by the captain of the ship. Apparently Wagner wouldn't let him call the Coast Guard when Natalie and a dinghy went "missing."
Poor Robert. He's too old to be in prison garb. But hey he's had almost 30 years free after her 'accident'. About time he pays the piper.
Witnesses that night heard Natalie screaming for help but did nothing. Reminds me of the JonBenet Ramsey case where neighbors heard her scream in the middle of the night, did nothing, and again another cold case. The Ramsey's next door neighbor even said that she heard a little girl scream in the middle of the night, and figured it was JonBenet, yet failed to do anything.
And it has always been common knowledge that Natalie Wood had a phobia about water, and especially dark water. How ironic that she died in dark water.
True, but there is no statue of limitations on murder. So, the police probably feel obliged to look into any allegations of foul play regarding her death.
Is Lana Wood still alive? She said she would not reveal the man that raped Natalie when she was 15 until after he died. Well, Kirk Douglas has been dead now for years, so what's she waiting for?
Wasn't Christopher Walken on the boat with them that night?
Uh....to find out that Kirk Douglas died? Because he's still alive.
Even if Kirk Douglas was no longer alive, Hollywood spends so much energy building up PR images that his fans and the press would probably eat Lana alive and not many would believe it. Especially not someone at the head of a family that is considered Hollywood royalty like the Douglas'.
I always think of what happened when Bing Crosby's son and Joan Crawford's daughter wrote autobiographies that portrayed their parents differently than the image the public had fallen in love with.
There always was something odd about the circumstances of Natalie's death.
Oopsie, so that's why Lana hasn't come out yet with Natalie's rapist. Sorry....
(I just realized I confused Kirk with Lloyd Bridges who died years ago, for whatever reason I confused the two old coots)
And yes, Chris Walken was on the Splendour that night. What conventional wisdom has determined is that she, in a booze and pilled state, was having sex with Chris and Robert got angry and put her out on the dinghy boat scaring her to death. She overreacted, slid off the dinghy and drowned after 20 minutes of screaming for help. I believe Robert had Chris at gunpoint too. It was ugly, and a screaming Natalie got lost in the drama.
What an amazing development.
I really liked Natalie Wood in 1979 TV version of From here to Eternity, and of course there will always be Splendor In The Grass to remember her.
If the suspicions against Robert Wagner turn out to be truth, then it is/was Poor Natalie Wood, IMO.
'Splendor in the Grass' is one of my favorite movies. But jeez did she overact... She sooooo could have played on Beatty's dumbhick stupidity and gotten him into bed. She was just too crazazy. I really don't think at that point Natalie Wood was acting as opposed to acting out. She was married at the time, was having an affair with Beatty and being her own crazazy self. That she made it to 42 is amazing. The company and men she kept, the substance abuse, well, 42 is an achievement.
I adore her acting in Splendour in the Grass.
So why didn't Walken tell the police this once he was safely ashore and away from Wagner?
I don't know where you dreamed this up, but this is not the "conventional wisdom" that has been floating around for years. If the rumors are to be believed, you have the who was having sex with whom totally wrong.
Rex, where are you? We need you.
And, since we are dishing the tea here, this would tie in to something I read in a biography of Natalie which indicated that the reason her first marriage to RJ Wagner broke up was because she walked in on him "in the throes of passion" with another guy.
Shades of Wade Lewis in "Inside Daisy Clover" (in terms of the alleged bisexuality).
If you're implying what I think you are this would explain why Walken kept quiet.
So she married him again? Did she think bisexuality was something he could overcome like cancer?
I never said they shouldn't.
Was it really Kirk Douglas who raped her?? I knew about the rape, but I never heard who did it.
Off topic, but where did you get this? I've followed the case from the beginning and have never heard or read anything like this.
I still think her best acting was Miracle on 34th Street. It's not easy to play a kid that doesn't annoy me.
Just google "JonBenet scream" and you'll get several hits. That investigation was SOOOO bungled. It's hard to know what to believe.
Thanks - I did that after I posted, and it came back to me. The one neighbour who originally said she heard a scream changed her story several times, eventually saying it might have been a few nights earlier. No one else heard it, including several who were closer to the house, so I guess I had just discounted it as irrelevant.
The biggest problem with that case was that it was initially treated as a missing person, so tons of people were allowed to wander all through the house, handle potential evidence, talk to each other etc. That, and the father moving the body. Later politics between different agencies and people certainly didn't help, but even the world's best investigator was going to have a challenge with that one.
Back to Natalie, y'all!
Point: just from where *I* am sitting, as long as everyone's honest I don't see the issue with a husband who's not averse to sex with men, too. No one would think it odd if the expectation were f/f/m (that one's not my kink, but I have no problem with the idea of threesomes working the OTHER way. Maybe she decided she didn't either.)
Hm. Wagner's on NCIS again this week (he plays Dinozzo's father-casting gag as Mike Weatherly met the producer of NCIS while Weather was playing Wagner in "The Natalie Wood Story") and...he's suspected of murder. Yeah, dead guy in the trunk instead of dead wife in a thirty-year-old cold case, but still.
Wow, I'm actually wanted?
The details of her death were always rather murky, and I've heard various stories about her tempestuous relationship with Wagner, Beatty and others. I didn't know that she was actually dating Beatty while married to Wagner - that's news to me. But she was no saint. Neither were any of the parties involved. After the OJ and Robert Blake fiascos, nothing in Hollywood surprises me anymore.
But I have heard the story about Kirk's alleged rape of Natalie. She was neither his first nor last victim from what I understand. Horrible, vile jerk of a man, and the fruit hasn't really fallen that far from the tree.
Hmm.. So the Captain didn't feel the need to come forward at the time? But now a book that few would have purchased will get lots more attention.
Not excusing Wagner if this is true, but really...

Wayne Law celebrates life and legacy of former dean James K. Robinson
PHOTO RELEASE (Oct. 27, 2011) — More than 125 friends, colleagues and admirers of former Wayne Law Dean James K. Robinson gathered on Oct. 18 at the Detroit Athletic Club to celebrate his life and legacy. The first James K. Robinson Endowed Scholarship was presented that night to first-year law student Nicolas Tlocynski.
"I am motivated to make sure that I am always giving my best efforts in the classroom, because that was one of the hallmarks of Jim's success," Tlocynski said. "He always helped others to be the best they could be."
Also presented that night was the Gershenson Trust-funded James K. Robinson Scholarship. Natalia Santanna received the award for the third year. "This scholarship has given me the ability to focus on my studies so that when I do have free time, I can volunteer and support things I am passionate about," said Santanna, who is involved with the 313 Project, a nonprofit which started at Wayne Law and is dedicated to fostering the participation of the legal community in the revitalization of Detroit. "I know that Jim had great passion for his work, and I appreciate this scholarship allowing me to pursue my passions."
Robinson, '68, who passed away Aug. 6, 2010, at age 66, had served as chair of the Litigation Department at Honigman Miller, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, assistant attorney general for the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and the seventh dean of Wayne Law.
Robinson's widow, Marietta, thanked the attendees in her opening remarks. "This is a wonderful gathering and Jim would have loved to be here tonight," she said. "Jim was not only a former dean, but he was also a proud alum."
The event was the first of what will be an annual celebration of Robinson's life, with the proceeds from the evening used to supplement the endowed scholarship fund.
Contact Michael Silverstein at firstname.lastname@example.com or 313-577-9238 for more information on the event or to give in Robinson's memory.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|This guy is about an hour from me but I don't want to spend that time and money going to look at it and he doesn't have me do it. I'm going to try buffing that enamel this weekend and if I like the results, I'm going to start doing more of it. Then I can give cheaper quotes, charge less for the actual paint and still get the jobs and make a decent wage on labor (Maybe).
|You have better conditions to work then I do. Only have an uninsulated one stall garage I work out of. Not the greatest conditions, I make it work till I can get the dang money tree to grow in the yard. I work full time now, so It doesn't leave a lot of time for any sidework. I won't really do much of anything till spring, plus it is too much work battling cold weather for me. Mitchell is the manuals that I have. Pretty much what most people use, I believe that motor makes them also. You can also get them on cd, but think they are pretty pricey. If you ever need the times on something that is crash work, or like replacing a part, shoot me an email and I'll find the page with the part numbers and times, until you can get some. I have most stuff from early 80's to around 2002 or 03. Mainly domestic in early years. Keep checking ebay. They show up on there, some body shops close down or replace them, or get the disk and updates, so they so up on there. Also might want to check with some shops or the tech school near you. I went back to the tech school the year after I finished the class and the teacher gave me a bunch of different ones. No I don't do interior work, other then maybe repairing some plastic or replacing a part. Just make sure you quote a fair amount on that job, If you find a bunch of rust holes hiding when you strip it, It takes time to replace all that metal and get things straight, paint and buff. If its fairly rusty, even putting in a fair amount of hours everyday, you just might be april when you get it done. Alot of things seem to take a bit longer then you originally thought. I wouldn't even try to give much of an estimate from a picture, you really can't tell much from them, got to see it in person and dig in to know the true story. Kinda getting off the topic of single stage here. Ohh well, not the first thread to go off course.
|There's a lot to learn about the paint bussiness. I am going to look for one of those manuals, is there one that's better than the other? I had a guy send me some pics of an 87 Olds 442 (like the Cutlass), that he wants me to strip and paint but the pics he took are while it was setting in a barn and they were dark and didn't show much in detail. In one pic it showed rot through on the door right where the door seem meets the fender seem, I told him I won't even try to fix it and he should buy a different door, he agreed and I asked him what paint type he wanted to go with and explained BC/CC and Acryllic Enamel to him and he was interested in BC/CC so I told him he could expect to pay anywhere from $400-$700 just for paint and additives then so much per hour after that. I hope he calls me back, it's a cool looking car, I'd have fun with that one (tinted t-tops, tu-tone, mags/white letters) He don't want it back until April or May so it would make a great "IN-BETWEEN" project. Do you do interior too or just paint/body? My shop 35x17 (give or take and inch) is set up in one corner of a 60'x120' pole bldg. The pole bldg. has a concrete floor so I have a LOT of room to work. I also have a "shop" outside the actual shop but still inside the pole bldg. I paint in my shop now but I want to set up a paint booth in one of the other corners, and eventually get a hoist and maybe a pit. I have 3 x 14' doors, I can drive my pickup and car trailer in one door and out another Makes it nice, I can have 4 or 5 projects going at one time. Right now the projects I have going on are: Putting a 350 in a 28' boat, painting a truck, putting a tranny in a jeep, and building my hotrod at the same time. WHEW!!!!!
|You want that mustang, then you better head to appleton. Its not mine either, It was a side job. Much more work then I planned for. A good reason when you have an older car to do, to not just blurt out a price. Anything larger then a small job that you know you can do in maybe a week, tell you won't estimate unless you can strip it first (if its something old and has a bit of rust bubbles), and then set up a payment schedule, break up the work, and when you complete so many tasks, you get payed such and such. Lessons learned for next time. But ohh well, I sort of took it cause of what it was anyways, and had a bit of time on my hands at that time. Good to learn a little about business and dealing with people before you get a tax number and set up a business that has to pay the bills on the shop and also for you. Insurance work would be nice, but hear a lot are a hassle to deal with also. But it would be a lot better money then working on an old car, if you get insurance companys that are fair with the times, and send you plenty of work. I have a lot of mitchell manuals that I bought off of ebay a few years ago, Most models up to I think 2003 or so. The parts prices may not be accurate, but majority of the times should be pretty much the same. Just don't forget to check the front to see whats not included in the labor times. Like clearcoat is not included in the paint time, you get something like .4 hrs times total refinish hrs to add on to clearcoat. and they also tell you how much time per refinishing time to add to buff. Unfortunately they will not tell you time for such amount of rust, or time to fix dents or straighten something, That you have to start keeping track of how much time stuff like that normally takes you so you have an idea what to charge when something similar comes up.
Thanks Kenseth, I'll need your address so I can come to Green Bay and pick up "MY" green Mustang I like that The bad thing about a tax no. is that I would have to claim everything On my tech sheet for this enamel it says to polish and put into service after 16 hours but I'm assuming they aren't talking about "cut and buff" I can still put my fingernail into it. I guess I'll wait a few more days
|RTS= ready to spray. Basically paint that is already reduced and the right viscosity. So I take that is you would measure out your paint, reducer and hardener in the right ratios, and then you can add up to 1 tenth (10%) of that amount of retarder. So say your total mixed up paint comes to 32 oz which equals a quart, then add up to 3.2 oz of retarder or just move your decimal 32.0 oz over one place for 10 percent, or times 32 x.10= 3.2. Just a little math lesson, not only do you have to play chemist, you have to understand math in this business also.
On second thought, I bet the people at the Washington School Information Processing Cooperative would like to know exactly what you've been doing with the school's computer.
|Can you guys just like tell me what training i need so i can get off of this stupid site and get back to school?
I sprayed a lot of Centari back in the late '80s and thru the '90s, and never had a problem with the finish and flow out. I always used overal gloss hardner (793 if memory serves) and never had to buff or colorsand. The only problem would be with your reds, because they would start fading in a couple of years if out in the sun much.
I still occasionaly use Centari, mostly for quick jobs on older vehicles that I refurbish for resale. I've found that there is money in older (10 years or so) cars geared towards school kids or poorer familys. If you can buy them right, do a quility but low cost job and have a product that is clean and looks good you'll come out alright and also make the customer happy.
My paint of choice is Dupont Chroma System, and use this exclusivly on customer jobs in the shop. If your doing collision work BC/CC is the way to go because it's the same as what comes from the factory and it's easy to blend panels when you get to spray clear over the whole blended panel.
As for doing jobs too cheaply, I would suggest getting a tax number so you can bid on insurance jobs, and also getting a subscription to something like "Mitchells" which will give you industry standard times for repairs, and follow the times. I charge $45 hr on Insurance jobs, and in a lot of cases will waive the customers deductable if the numbers add up. This makes the customer feel like the repair is free because nothing comes out of his pocket, and I come out good because my shop is on my acreage and my overhead is low. If you get a tax number and start doing insurance jobs be prepared to deal with a few A-Hole ajusters. I had one a while back from GMAC and decided I will not do jobs insured by them again unless the customer knows up front that if their insurer jacks me they will make up the differance.
Yes, the viscosity of the paint is important. One of the typical gadgets
to measure it is called a "Ford cup" Or "zahn cup" (I think).
This is an issue that has been discussed at great length here before.
Most agree as long as you mix according to the mfg instructions you
will have it right. That is why I said I use retarder in place of some of the
reducer. The final mix is the same reduction rate, or viscosity.
If anything, when using retarder I mix it a little thicker, not thinner.
Example: If 16 oz of paint calls for 4 oz of reducer, I'll mix 16 oz of
paint with 2 oz reducer and 2 oz retarder for the last coat.
But the overall mix is the same reduction, or pretty close.
You don't want to over reduce your paint with retarder.
acrylic enamel
a beginner may want to use a viscometer in reducing their paint. a viscometer is a small handle cup with a hole in the bottom. after adding thinner to your paint, you submerge the cup in the paint and time how many seconds it takes the paint to run out of the cup. when you later add retarder to the mixed paint on your finish coats, the time should not be more than 3 seconds less than when you did the first coat. after a few paint jobs , you may not have to rely on the viscometer. you can get one at your local jobber or at sears. that is how i taught my younger brother, when he first started painting.
No, a retarder and reducer are two different things.
And labeled accordingly.
A retarder for enamel is different that one for urethane.
The retarder I use is a universal one for lacquer and enamel but
not anything else. I also have one for urethane clear that I got
from my jobber. The painters use it a lot when the temps are way
up there, like upper 90's.
I haven't used it enough to have an opinion on it yet.
Hi Jim, by a retarder do you mean a reducer ?
Do you use it with urethane based paint ?
What solvent are you using.
Thanks... X
When I use retarder I use a lot less thinner.
I don't want a thinner paint, I want a wetter paint.
With adding more thinner you get less coverage and it runs easier,
Especially when you're trying to cover.
With retarder, you can substitute the retarder for most of the thinner
and still spray it "full bodied", not over thinned so you don't get the runs.
With retarder the paint will stay wet and flow out so you actually
spray a lighter coat and it will all melt together.
again, to me it's like spraying oil, keeping thicker than over thinned paint
and leveling out.
I use way more retarder than recommended, but it works for me.
I use so much that I just mist on the last coat, spraying half the usual
amount of paint and increasing my distance back when spraying.
The control is unbelievable, probably not the recommended way but a friend
of mine did the side of a school bus this way and kept the entire side wet
before he finished spraying, it looked great.

Jayne Ludlow believes Arsenal Ladies are favourites to reach the UEFA Women's Cup Final after grabbing two away goals in Denmark on Saturday.
Vic Akers' side are within touching distance of their first European showpiece after Kelly Smith's double forced a 2-2 draw with Brondby. Ludlow, captain in the absence of the injured Faye White, took heart from Arsenal's display.
"We would have taken a 2-2 draw before the game but although we are happy with the two away goals we are disappointed that we led twice and then let them back into the game," Ludlow told Arsenal.com. "But we'll take the positives and we're looking forward to the second leg when we have home advantage.
"We started quite slowly in Copenhagen, partly because we struggled a bit with the size of the pitch. That meant we couldn't press as tightly as we wanted but we got to grips with it and had a better spell in the second half.
"I think it was a pretty even game, they were better than when we played them a couple of months back. Kelly scored the first with a free kick and we're annoyed that we let them back in. We went out to play our normal game, to try and get the ball down.
"I'd say we're favourites now we have two away goals. We can go through with a 0-0 draw and the girls will take a lot of confidence from the fact we scored twice over there."
As Ludlow says, a goalless draw would suffice next Saturday but if Arsenal need to score they will have to do so without the prolific Smith. The England star was sent off for two bookable offences towards the end of the first leg and will watch from the stands at Meadow Park.
Smith has been an influential figure since rejoining Arsenal in 2005 but Ludlow believes there is sufficient depth in Akers' squad to fill the void left by Smith's suspension.
"I think the referee was a bit picky with Kelly in Denmark," said Ludlow. "She got an early yellow card and then got another one when she pulled a player back. I suppose the letter of the law said she had to go but there was a lot of niggly stuff against Kelly which the ref didn't pick up on.
"We'll miss Kelly but I think we'll go with the
same tactics in the second leg even though she won't play. We
can move people around a bit because we've got an abundance of
attacking talent.
"We know we only need a 0-0 or 1-1 draw so we might be a bit tighter at the start of the first half, we might not release as many midfielders forward. But we have been in this position before and failed at the final hurdle so we are determined to get through this year.
"The fans will be really important. If we could pack Meadow Park out that would be great. The crowd have been immense at our European games in previous years and hopefully they can be our 12th player against Brondby this Saturday."

Vito Mannone believes he has improved "every part" of his game this year - and he is determined to keep showing it.
The Italian goalkeeper has performed admirably since he replaced the injured Wojciech Szczesny, contributing to shut-outs against Stoke City and Liverpool in the Premier League.
Mannone's form follows a successful loan spell at Hull City - during which he kept a club record six consecutive clean sheets - and has helped erase the memories of a less impressive display at Olympiacos in December 2011.
The 24-year-old insists he is a far better keeper now and hopes he can keep his place in Arsène Wenger's side.
"I think I have improved in every part of the goalkeeper position," Mannone told Arsenal Player.
"In my mind as well, I came back stronger and stronger [from my loan spell]. Especially after the mistake at Olympiacos – it's never easy to come back, but when I've got my back against the wall, I don't mind. I just roll up my sleeves and try to work because I know I can do well.
"It's a good fight between the keepers because we know the level is quite high and you need to keep working and improve yourself to get the first spot."
Mannone is only 24 but he considers himself to be one of the squad's 'elder statesmen' after seven years with Arsenal. And like all goalkeepers, he needs a run of games to demonstrate his true credentials.
"The most important thing for a keeper is to play," he said. "Only one plays and it's difficult for the ones not playing because you lose your sharpness, your game time, your game experience. So when you do get on the pitch it's not easy [to be at your best straight away].
"It's been a great experience [at Arsenal]. Most of the boys are new and I feel like an old one even though I'm 24! I know the place and everybody here and I'm really happy when I'm involved, like now. I would like to be involved more and more and establish myself."

By Rob Kelly
Thomas Vermaelen insists Arsenal's squad is strong enough to compete at the highest level - and will be boosted by the return of a number of key players.
Jack Wilshere, Bacary Sagna and Emmanuel Frimpong all completed 90 minutes for the under-21s on Monday, while Wojciech Szczesny, Kieran Gibbs and Tomas Rosicky are also close to their respective comebacks.
Vermaelen accepts that the team's recent results have been "disappointing" but says there is enough quality at the Club to have grounds for optimism.
"Things can turn around really quickly and in these times you have to stick together as a group and as a Club," the captain said. "I'm really positive this group has the quality to win games again.
"At the moment a lot of players are coming back. We've never had so many fit players in the past as at the moment. I think our squad is strong enough.
"It's a little bit negative at the moment because we had two disappointing results. But in football it can turn really quickly and on Saturday [against QPR] it can be different again.
"That's the positive about England. You play so many games, sometimes three times a week, so you have another chance really quickly to get a good result again."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Hey guys,
I am still working on my Daft Punk helmet, trying to finish that by halloween... school has been kicking my butt as of late.
However, with Skupilkinson's pepakura template files, I'm realizing building a custom could be easier than ever at this point... so I kinda wanna do that.
I have a general idea in my head, but I have not been able to put it down onto paper yet in the form of a drawing or whatnot...
But I am considering orange / white / silver for color scheme. Does anyone know if there are any orange / white detail / silver base painted mandos out there, or any white / orange detail / silver base ones?
What I mean by "detail" is... well, the armor and such. The main color (coming first in those three) would be for softparts and such -- jumpsuit, flakvest, etc. Detail would be armor pieces... Silver would be a silver base coat which would show through with scratches and dings.
I have always been impressed with Hydra and Jax's custom mando projects, as well as those who have built mandos using Hydra's concepts.
Opinions? Ideas?

This tour is best Tuesday through Friday, when both museums and City Hall are open for business.
Start at the (1) Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (118 North Broad Street; www.pafa.org), an elaborate architectural wedding cake designed by Philadelphia icon Frank Furness. The grand staircase hall is a work of art, embellished with gold leaf, silver stars, intricate carvings and bronze ornaments. Don't miss "The Gross Clinic," Thomas Eakins' fascinating medical masterpiece, considered the Mona Lisa of Philadelphia, only bigger. Eight by six feet (2.4 meters by 1.8 meters), the work is now shared on a rotating basis by the academy and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Exit the museum, make a right on North Broad and a left on Arch Street. Proceed to the (2) Fabric Workshop and Museum (1214 Arch Street; www.fabricworkshop.org), America's only nonprofit workshop dedicated to new work in fabric by emerging artists. If you aren't snagged by weaving, walk back up Arch and turn left on North Broad.)
Proceed to the (3) Masonic Temple (1 North Broad Street; www.pagrandlodge.org), where the exterior is patterned after a Norman cathedral. "The interior will knock your socks off, fantastic carvings, incredibly over the top," says Ron Avery, author, Philadelphia: Beyond the Liberty Bell. The museum includes George Washington's Masonic apron, a gift from the Marquis de Lafayette.
Turn left when you leave the building and walk around City Hall. (You'll return here at the end of your walk.) Proceed down Broad Street to (4) the Bellevue at the Park Hyatt (Broad and Walnut; www.parkphiladelphia.hyatt.com) a splendid hotel built in 1904. There's now high-end retail including Nicole Miller and Tiffany & Co. on the ground floor. You can take the elevator to the 19th floor to gaze at the sumptuous Barrymore room, named for the famous Philadelphia family of thespians.
If you're hungry, stop at (5) Bliss (224 South Broad; www.bliss-restaurant.com) to indulge in contemporary Asian-inspired Mediterranean fare. Go to the (6) Academy of Music (240 South Broad; www.academyofmusic.org) where Broad intersects Locust, the oldest opera house in America.
Press on to the (7) Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts (260 South Broad Street; www.kimmelcenter.org) and tour the hall where the Philadelphia Orchestra plays. You can visit the (8) rooftop garden rain or shine. (It's under a glass dome.)
Exit, cross the street and turn left, heading back toward City Hall. Admire the funky façade of the (9) Wilma Theater (265 South Broad Street; www.wilmatheater.org) an innovator in the arts since 1973. Proceed on Broad and turn right on Sansom Street. Turn left on 13th Street where you'll land smack in the middle of cool shopping, including (10) Sailor Jerry (116 South 13th Street; www.sailorjerry.com) a local clothier whose designs are based on seamen's tattoos and (11) Scarlet Fiorella (113 South 13th Street; www.scarletfiorella.com) a purveyor of antiques with a twist.
Continue on 13th Street and turn left on Market Street, where you will see (12) City Hall, completed in 1901 in French Second Empire style, rising 548 feet (167 meters). For years, no building in Philadelphia could be constructed higher than the hat of William Penn, whose bronze figure tops the tower. Although there are now taller structures in the city, it remains one of the world's tallest masonry buildings." Be sure to go during business hours so you can go inside. It's magnificent, with lots of statues," says Dave Davies, columnist, Philadelphia Daily News.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a metal stock bracket for my ROTJ EE3?
I currently have a (Draven Models?) EE-3 but the bracket is cable reinforced resin and it's cracked which makes the blaster very wobbly and odd - I don't want to try to repair this as it will just break again so I would like to replace the whole bracket with a metal one to ake it much more rigid and allow it to stand up to the stresses of trooping.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > South Korea and the U.S. Nuclear Umbrella: Extended Deterrence in the Post-Cold War World
Since 1953, the United States has maintained a formal extended deterrence commitment to protect South Korea. The guarantee included a mutual security treaty that formalized the U.S. pledge and basing troops close to the border as a sign of U.S. determination to defend its ally from another attack from the North. The U.S. commitment also entailed the inclusion of South Korea under the U.S. nuclear umbrella whereby Washington vowed to use nuclear weapons to deter, and if need be, defeat an attack. The United States never renounced the first use of nuclear weapons so that a nuclear response could follow a conventional attack or a nuclear strike. For South Korea, the umbrella also included the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on the peninsula. However, these weapons were removed from South Korea in 1991. The nuclear umbrella has long been a part of U.S. extended deterrence in East Asia, yet there have always been some troubling aspects of this strategy, both in Asia and in Europe. This talk will examine the history of the U.S. nuclear umbrella for South Korea, the role the umbrella plays in South Korean and U.S. security planning, and questions regarding the credibility of the commitment.

text: What do you believe were the most overhyped rivalries of all time. Here are some of mine: Kwan vs Cohen- not really that much of a rivalry. Cohen never won a major event over Kwan, though she did finish over Kwan at Worlds twice she still did not actually win the title. Cohen never beat Kwan at U.S Nationals. Stojko vs Eldredge- what rivalry? Eldredge only beat Stojko once from 1992-2000 and it was at the 96 Worlds where he fell in the short program and finished off the podium. Stojko didnt even need his quad to beat a clean Eldredge. Anyone who Stojko does not need his quad to beat even when they skate cleanly is not a rival to him. Kerrigan vs Harding- people talked about the rivalry even before the clubbing. There was a rivalry but it wasnt a great one. How it went was either: a)Harding and Kerrigan both turned in so so long programs with mistakes and Kerrigan usually wins on higher 2nd mark then. b)Harding skates great in which case she always won since Kerrigan never did a single great long program until her final season in 93-94 anyway. Sale & Pelletier vs Berezhnaya & Sikharulidze- a media invented rivalry as the vastly inferior skills of S&P were somehow built up through hype and politics to be regularly beat and even made to be out as clearly above a superior team like B&S. Totmianiana & Marinin vs Shen & Zhou- one team or the other was always out injured or coming back from injury in T&M's final two seasons. Lysacek vs Weir- Lysacek pretty much dominated Weir after the 2005 Worlds. Weir had the occasional win over Evan, but where the two men ranked among the elite and fared in major competitions was not really close the final 4-5 years.

Hi everybody,
I'm new here. I'm a non native EFL teacher and so far I have taught in secondary schools and some private tuition too. I'm used to teaching a long term syllabus (at least a school term) and in August I'm asked to help a student (17 years old) with only a 12 h intensive course (2 weeks) in English before he starts school. He is supposed to have B1 level but according to my experience, students who need help with their English generally don't even have A2 level.
12 hours is such a short course. I don't really know what to teach as a priority. I guess I'll have to focus on grammar rather than others skills. Such is very often the case with private tuition.
Can you help me and give some advice, please ?
Thanks a lot

Does running a 60 front/9" rear make sense?
So I've been planning on building a 44/9 set for my Cherokee and by planning meaning I have a set and the 9" is completely rebuilt and done, I just need to order some shafts. The 44 is just stripped down at the moment with no money into it yet other than I sandblasted and powder coated the drivers knuckle.
My plans were to basically build them as gnarly as possible to handle 37s and to keep the weight down as much as I could. But the longer these are taking to finish the more I'm starting to question the reality of that and what I want to use it for. It may be because I've been spending too much time on pirate and seeing rigs with semi float rears snapping at the flange, and 44s with blown shafts taking out lockers (in was planning on going with RCVs) and this happening on 33s and 35s. But i like to think these are the guys that just point and bounce the revlimiter in rock gardens, where as I'm the type to plan my lines very carefully and mosey my way up.
The plan for the Jeep is to be able to drive it to what ever trails I want and back, whether its out to Moab or just the Mounds. Making it OK on the road is simple (well you know kinda) but the hard part for me is the off road abuse. So far I've only wheeled it about 10 times at the Mounds within the last 6 or 7 (sheesh) and that was on stock axles (30/8.25) with an welded diff, and 31s and the only problems I've had was two alternators and a water filled diff. So I can't really get a good feel of how things would go on 37s and on trails I've never been.
Any way, so I was thinking of just selling what I got, giving up the dream of an anorexic Jeep with good diff clearance and going with 60s or 60/14b and just drag them over everything.
OR, keep the 9" in the rear and build up a 60 in the front? I've read one thread that a dude mentioned it would be a good combo since you can steer the low hanging 60f and with the higher 9" you won't have to worry about it as much?
Sorry about the long winded life story, its just been on my mind the last month, and I've exhausted my brain.

did you post this on NAXJA as well?
9" can be built sufficiently strong.
front 60 can be converted to 5 on 5.5.
check out John Ds build:

It comes down to cost in my opinion.
If you don't mind throwing some serious coin at the 9" and are ok with having all custom parts its a great choice.
If you want cheap and beefy and the ability to find parts in any junk yard in the country then a 14 bolt is a better option.
Another axle to consider is the ford 10.25.....they are similar in strength to a 14 bolt but have way better ground clearance

A shaved 14b has better ground clearance than a 60 or 9" that has not been shaved but they are heavy! Look at the TMR 15 bolt kit. The one I did for the buggy in my avatar only had a touch less ground clearance than a d44. The TMR kit will require a ring gear that has been turned down in a lathe though. If I decide to build axles for my tj I will probably build a shaved semi float hp60 for the rear and either a hp44 up front or a shaved hp60. I would run 37" tires max and try to keep it very street able. I realize the hp60 in the rear is weaker than a lp60 but I believe it would be worth the trade off to gain the driveshaft clearance and angle. I also don't see me pushing the hp60 to its limit with 37s. It also helps that I have a bent hp60 sitting behind the barn that I could retube and put 9" flanges on fairly cheap. I was in the process of building this combo for my last tj but then decided to go buggy and now I traded the buggy off to go back to a jeep so back to my old plans.

If memory serves from centerline of the axle to bottom of the shave was around 3/8" less ground clearance than a stock hp44. The other plus is it is a nice smooth surface to slide on.

Yes Sterling 10.25....mine in stock form has ~.25" less ground clearance than my buddy's shaved 14 bolt with the turned down ring gear and everything. You can buy whatever you want for them from the after market.....i have less than a grand in mine with 5.38's, all new bearings, welded, disc brakes, cover, ect

IMO I would do a 14b over 10.25 for a few reasons. The first reason would be the extra pinion support. Second would be lockers are cheaper. Last but not least is the ease of setting up the gears in the 14 compared to 10.25.

Check out the true hi-9 website & read up on the comparisons. I'm running a hi pinion 9" & it has held up well to the abuse. Of course I'm not a 1% er. Lol
I have no regrets.
|June 9th, 2013, 08:05 PM
Flex Is OverRated
Imo the only actual advantage there is the pinion support....which isn't a huge deal in a lighter, moderately powered rig like a 6cyl jeep or my Toyota. The gear setup may not be as easy but it's still on the easy side when you compare it to something like a Dana axle. As far as locker cost....depending on your choice there may be no savings and any money you do save is quickly negated by the cost and work of the shave kit / pricier turned gears that are required to get the same clearance.
They are both great axles....my decision came down to this: if i built a pimped out shaved 14 bolt and somehow fucked up the housing (cracked it, bent tubes, spun tubes, ect) i was stuck with a bunch of work and possibly money building a new one....if i fukc up mine i pickup a new one for next to nothing and it'sready to run....no work required (to the housing)
At the end of the day you can't really go wrong with either imo
|June 9th, 2013, 08:49 PM
expert jeep disassembler
If you shave a 14b and a 10.25 you can only possibly gain 1/8" of ground clearance with the 10.25. The ring gears are only 1/4" difference in size between the two of them and the ring gear is the limiting factor when shaving. With that said I'm pretty sure you don't need a shaved ring gear 14b to match the clearance of a stock 10.25.
|June 9th, 2013, 08:57 PM
Flex Is OverRated
My saying that is based off measuring my buddy's shaved 14 bolt using Ballistics kit and machined ring gear (same principal as the Tmr kit you posted) vrs. My 10.25.....i don't remember the exact number but iirc it was less than .25". I will measure them again next time i'm at the shop

"Sorry about the long winded life story, its just been on my mind the last month, and I've exhausted my brain. "
I know what you mean I have a d44 and 9" out of a 70's Ford with chromoly shafts, but the tires that came on the 93Yj I bought are 42x14-15 IROKs. I have been hashing over getting tires in the 37-38" range or just selling my current axles and getting a d60 and 14 bolt or a d60 and Sterling 10.25 as some here have suggested. I have run about every scenario there is and still can't decide what makes the most sense. Financially concerned my current axles have Moser shafts already and don't really need anything but 37's or 38's may still be pushing the d44, I believe the 9" is strong enough. So I feel for you I know first hand what you're going through.

For a budget guy can't beat a 14 bolt.the old sterling was a
Sweet axle and came w 513 gears.can weld to it and lots of ground clearance. Only thing I have never broke and is still original is my 14 bolt.cheap cheap beef! Weld it and do a disk break kit and you have a bombproof axle for a few hundred bucks. Make sure and weld the tubes on all 14 bolts though.they will spin the tube if you don't.

Gail Fisher's Dog Tracks: The good news and bad news about life with an active puppy
GAIL FISHER | September 21. 2013 8:31PM
Here's the good/bad news. The good news is that I know this time, this energy level, this hyper-exploratory behavior, shall pass. But that's also the bad news. There is so much that is fun, funny and adorable about his antics, but I know this time is short-lived.I got an email from a reader after last week's article. She wrote: "I am really enjoying reading your columns about Larry in the Union Leader as we recently added a new member to our family. Your last paragraph nearly brought me to tears as I've been experiencing the same frustrations as you, but him waking me up at 4:30 a.m. every day is so worth it if it gives me five extra minutes with him. He is growing up so fast, and it has been so challenging, but I wouldn't change anything. His unconditional love makes it ALL worth it. I wish I lived and/or worked closer to Manchester so we could visit your gym, but thank you for sharing your experiences with Larry. If it's tough for someone who is a dog trainer, that reminds me that it's not just me! I hope to learn something from you! Please keep sharing!"It's so true that this time passes way too quickly. Larry has lived with us for only three weeks, and so much has changed in that short time. Aside from putting on 8 pounds, seemingly growing before our eyes, his antics have grown with him. He kept trying to leap onto the chair hassock, bouncing off it in repeated attempts, and last night he made it! I think his success surprised him nearly as much as it did us. His expression was priceless.

For those so inclind here is a very rough draft for Boba's gloves. They are sized to fit me - 8.5" around the palm.
This is so awesome Alan! Thank you!!!!
Nice to see you back in action Alan!! Is this ESB or ROTJ??
I was actually wondering if there was a pattern for gloves around, those should do well on my Jodo. One quick question: where do I measure my palm, just in case I need to scale down?
Thanks again!
very cool!
This is crazy awesome!
thank you!
I have no idea how to sew those together but WOW they look awesome..
Thanks, these were based off an e-book on how to make gloves that I found online and various work gloves that I have worn out and have taken apart. The drawings still need some work, but it is something to play with. I would suggest to anyone wanting to make their own to study how gloves are put together, turn some work gloves inside out to see how they fit the pieces together. These patterns are styled after the leather Driving gloves that you can get at the hardware store. The problem I have with most of the pre-made Driving gloves is that they are too big and bulky to look right.
I have made a test sample out of felt to check the patterns and they came out pretty good. Made me wish I had just invested in some better materials. These are not intended to be screen accurate. But parade gloves just dont cut it for me; they just dont look the part for a rough and tumble bounty hunter. Seem like a quick compromise on the part of wardrobe department.
If nothing else folks can use the patterns for the finger & hand padding and the cuffs to modify their own gloves.
rdhawk - Take a tape measure and wrap it around your hand over your palm (see attached). Mine is 8.5", this is where I run into problems with the Jango gloves at Nordstroms. Their large is 7.5" to 8" and I just can't get my hand in them. I nearly bought them on several occasions thinking that I could stretch them out, in the end I decided to make my own.
Awesome thanks Bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Wizard does it again! Nice work!
OK, I know I'm kinda necro-ing this thread, but anyone have any idea how this thing is supposed to go together in any order, cause it looks Greek to me.
Oh, and this pattern should be in the sticky thread on making your own soft parts *coughcough*!
Agreed on sticky: just add it to soft parts, unless WOF doesn't think it's accurate enough (your drawings are ALWAYS spot on) :D
Also, are the green lines for stitching and seam allowance?

The changeable weather is likely to continue at first, bringing further showers or longer spells of rain with only brief bright or sunny spells in between. However, drier and warmer spells are likely to become more prevalent during the second week of July and these may perhaps become more widespread as we head into the second half of the month. This will bring more in the way of sunshine and higher temperatures, with perhaps some very warm spells possible. However, an increase in temperatures also poses the threat of some thundery showers.

Jessica Biel said her husband, Justin Timberlake, has a secret talent - he is a superb baker.
"He bakes pies. He's Southern, so he's got all this influence from his grandma," Jessica told the December issue of ELLE magazine. "He does a three-layer pie...and blueberry crunch cake, which is pretty unbelievable. It doesn't happen all that often, thank God. Otherwise, it would be a big problem."
PLAY IT NOW: Jessica Biel's Biel Playing For Keeps Premiere
The "Playing For Keeps" actress tied the knot with Justin in Italy back in October and she shared her view of what marriage means to the mag, in the new interview.
"It means always having someone there to open the pickle jar...to share the ups and downs with, have adventures with," she said. "Someone to go swimming naked with. That kind of thing."

Jessica famously wore a custom petal pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown for her wedding and she told ELLE it started out as a "leap of faith," but turned out wonderfully.
"I wanted the dress to be very romantic and feminine and a shape that I very rarely wear. I have never been crazy about all-white wedding dresses, for me at least. [Giambattista Valli] had created that same fabric in a fuchsia-and-pink combination for a dress in a previous collection, and I asked him if he could create that same pattern in a white combination, and he suggested pink," she said. "It was a bit of a leap of faith at the time, but it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. [Putting it on], I felt like I had made the right choice. I felt elegant. And it moved like a dream."
