Trust me, you don't want to be him.

 

@ Tinytech

 

You guys that installed center console vaults, did you have to take anything apart to do it? This "Lock'er Down" vault won't drop in.

EDIT: I'm retarded, you have to unscrew the inside cover of the factory console first.

 

Her: Ooh, dinner? What are you cooking, hon?
Me: Antique drawer pulls. Painted.
Her: GTFO of my kitchen.

 

BS, this wont work. My windows phone is a piece of shat.

 

I be damned....y'all are so screwed. This is going to be so much fun.

 

whatcha workin on in Solidworks?..

 

Some new Open Hole Packers. At first, back in 2006ish, when we switched to SW from Microstation I hated it. Now I love it!!! Such a great tool/program.

 

So i'm just sitting outside the building at work, and this thing comes rolling up the road toward Central Services. THAT is gona be a good party lol

 

What do you do for work? I dont know anything else but SW. lol 16 really is a nice upgrade too.

 

Never had it. Ill have to look at my local Specs (biggest liquor stores here in Houston).

 

I'm an Applications Engineer for an Oil & Gas company. How about you?

 

got ya. sounds interesting.. Looked up open hole packers. what applications are they used for? I love learning about new stuff..

I'm an Engineer/Machinist for a packaging design company.

 

Fracing. Its one part of a complete system. Your packer will isolate your zones so you can frac a specific area/stage. Basically its just a large seal.

 

thats kind of what I got from readin up on em. sounds like a fun part to design. get to play with cool materials like titanium and stuff?

 

Naw, just 4140 (alloy steel). But we do have some cool dissolvable metals. I also get to test a majority of what I design, so that's always fun. Usually after I get a successful test Ill take it to failure...I enjoy breaking things and am very good at it. LOL

 

Thats aweome! love breaking stuff sounds just like my work.. lol

We are a one stop shop for packaging. Designed, Engineered, and Prototypes tested in house. Our materials range from your basic Corrugate box material in various weights and fluting (cut on CAD tables).. to 6061 Aluminum stock (machined on one of two HAAS machines) for molds, parts, etc. We use PET plastics to pull thermoforms, mill surrogates for testing.. etc. then.. package them, and test the shit out of them. vibe, drop, compression, etc. basically TRYING to break everything.. then we record the data and go at it all over again. It's pretty fun.. especially since we have some awesome clients and get to test their stuff.

 

From our meet last Sunday. 80 trucks came out.
