Somehow a 'like' just isn't enough for this diorama (its not just a model any more imo). I love making things - - - you're going further - - - you're making it beautiful! Good on you, mate!!!

Hmmmmmm - - - if you want to keep the gears you just machine the gears off of the shafts. (Cut shaft beside one gear - - - drill to where there is less than 0.050" (just of 1.0mm) of shaft wall remaining. Gear will be very easy to remove from shaft at this point ( a little tapping with a...

You could always 'machine' the OD of the flywheel on your mill - - -

A large metal chisel + a 3# hammer should be able to damage the outside of the casting (working toward the shaft placement area). A plasma cutter could also be useful. (You are, after all, only wanting to metal from the casing - - - yes? Although the shafts might be useable material for other...

(I've only poured one project and I most definitely wasn't expert then (and still know precious little!!) but I have lots of related 'hot metal' (welding) experience.) It looks like the gloves that you are wearing are leather with a fabric (of some kind) wrist protector (not really a...

Maybe this incident would scare the guy straight - - - I doubt it. He's luck he's lucky he has feet left!

If you find those comments or do another round - - - I for one would greatly appreciate those annotations!!!

I'm curious if you've thought of creating a series of models - - - you've got the WWI version nailed here. What about from the first bronze cannons (thinking 1700's but not sure) until the version you have so wonderfully completed? Sorta like the history of the 18 pound cannon/gun. I love...

(Normally don't include all the quoted text but am this time - - - apologies if that offends someone!!) This is the kind of reading that I find so incredibly useful! Someone that has shown that they're doing the stuff and then they're telling about what to watch for in the doing. IMO - - -...

Ah ja - - - - it would be rather a wonder if you had been there - - - yes - - - 'snickering' being the ongoing action of 'to snicker'. I hope that was polite - - - I wasn't quite at the 'lol' but thought it was at least somewhat funny - - - yes? Might be thought of as OT but what do most here...

Hmmmmmmmmm - - - you're making it sound like the recommendations from Lincoln Electric are inadequate for commercial use. Point of fact - - - I've never seen even the big industrial fabrication sites even use any heavier welding cables - - - and if you think were were not very strictly...

Your report is one reason I wish it were possible to easily gauge the thickness of a tank wall. Its not so I can understand your caution - - - except I think if it were possible to get unbiased information re: catastrophic tank failure I'm betting that the number of tanks that display such...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm - - - - still haven't seen anything related to a 'duty cycle rating' on cables. I am quite aware of cable and wiring de-rate due to a large number of factors.

You still haven't addressed the concept of a duty cycle for cables or wires - - - - which was my question. I hadn't mentioned anything to do with capacity de-rate based on conditions which is quite a different thing. (There is the concept of duty cycle on welding machines. The way this...

That will very much depend upon what type of life insurance you have!

See post #25 in this thread for the pin out for the parallel port.

Hmmmmmmmmmm - - - that's real interesting. I had never heard of cables having a duty cycle rating. Power sources - - - you bet - - - cables - - - 'never'. Don't see anything like that in the electrical code either - - - at least not in the 3 versions I have parked here. (When you're working...

Somehow - - - - I don't think what they did was actually 'funny' - - - especially if you've had vision spots ever since. (apologies to those that think this kind of think 'is' fun but horseplay that results in any kind of injury (like actual injury not that of the ego) is no longer horseplay -...

Hmmmmmmmm - - - interesting - - - what kind of settings were you using? And what size cables? (Curious - - - you know - - curious george here!) (Dunno how many here will remember or connect on this allusion - - - grin!)

(Grin) - - - you might want to upgrade your software in somewhat less than 20 years - - - that just might push you to also updating the hardware - - - but get all the life you can out of the systems. No need to update just to update. (That's working hard to make other people money - - - I'm...
