    Yup. That's the plan.

    Exactly. It's what's keeping me above the dirt -- the burning desire to kill my enemies, drive their armies before me, and to ravage their women!

    Other than that, I will spend my remaining years practicing tolerance, love, and boundless understanding of the feelings of others.

    I'll leave my mark on this world... even if it's only a pile of **** on someone's welcoming matt.

    Nothing like a brush with death or two or three to make us more of the people we have always been. I think even better as a result. Fierce convection can't even begin to describe it.

    Amazing process!! Gave us model builders quite the help getting a static model into being a working model.

    And unfortunately, a dying art, just as us true scratch builders (excluding 3D printing) are a dying breed.

    In which I related the horrible incident of splashing Ellie's chest area with molten metal owing to the lack of a proper spray-shield during a failed pour (continuing a long-standing tradition of my occasional banishment to the downstairs couch because of some dumb-ass move I made that caught her attention.

    And I'm repeating that set-up in the picture here: Kevin and I staged the process, but without the spray-shield, to better see the disc type tool spinning in the modified blood separation centrifuge.



    I've included other shots of the spin-casting process.

    And what solder on the prop?
    60/40 is my flavor. I hate Antimony/Tin -- only use it if the Lead/Tin is not available. I use acid type flux for all non electrical/electronic unions. 90% of our work is OK to use 60/40. Silver bearing solder is over-kill, you over-achieving-exacting-twidgget, you!
