Saw a turtle crossing the road this morning and drove right past it. Last time this happened I told myself there was nowhere safe to pull over but this time I have no such excuse. I was even running early.
@CrusadeSymphony More or less already there on old furniture. Real wood and glass at the thrift store/estate sale is cheaper than ikea plastic and cardboard because no one wants it. The NPC yearns for the ikea gray
Blacksmith graduate Paul Reilly created this masterful 7 foot tall door with a Roman arch inspired by Bottaro for his capstone project. Truly a capstone for the ACBA record books, Paul's composition and articulation of shape and curve are displays of his dynamic drafting skills and technical expertise. Paul, we can't wait to see the work you produce in the coming years!
@SeppWieland See my other post for true solution. Make the log a trailer worked even better because it puts some weight on the truck for traction. Super maneuverable bc is steers like a trailer. Lifting it up with a jack isn’t bad at all.
reasons you should avoid 80/20 and grow up and just learn CAD instead:
- its modulus of elasticity is a third of steel’s, which means you need three times as much to get the same stiffness. this means it isn’t actually lighter in most cases. point 1 for why it’s flimsy
- it’s open cross section. this seriously reduces torsional stiffness and strength. point 2 for flimsy
- there are very bad joint options designers can pick and won’t realize without some secondary analysis (which is annoying to do)
- it’s expensive. especially for what it is
- once you cut it to size, you’re stuck with a piece that size, so it isn’t really reusable
use unistrut (sorry that it doesn’t look cool), learn to weld, or just CAD the exact frame you need and get the the sheet and tube cut with bolt holes
