Blaze me a trail
Not much to report. I've been spending most of my spare time in the machine shop building a new fixture for work. Here is a photo from a few weeks ago for you to admire and then post under telling me how cute my girls are. :)
It's also in the basement. Everywhere I've worked or gone to school, the machine shop is in the ground floor. :)
I'm making an enclosure to maintain a cool temperature inside of so I can test snow inside it while I remain nice and comfy outside in my lab at ambient temps. Less cold room time for me. :)
Darned good idea! Hmmmmm, measuring shearing stress in ice while you get to sit toasty warm, cool.
Someone told me the machine shops are on the ground floor cus of the weight of the equipment, but I think it's so that us poor truck drivers didn't have to haul really heavy deliveries upstairs!
