1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Included relief cuts and just bent it by hand on my Harbor Freight vise; it's only 1/8" thick steel



Scrap piece I got from school last year

 

Good for you for doing relief cuts! 6 yrs ago I designed (but had one of our vendors with a water jet cut it out) a holder for our hydraulic crimper dies. Whole mess of relief cuts and I bent it into submission with a hammer and welding clamps

 

Even though that has a ton of cuts, it looks fucking thick.

I would've hated doing that

Here she is mounted.

FUCKING MINT

 

Since I'm not a real engineer and don't know the appropriate level of materials science between "shits gonna break" to "just good nuff", I always over build everything....

So you're right this is heavy, as I did it out of 3/16 steel


Your bracket fur shur is FUCKIN MINT

 

once again, I get clearance at work weeks ago for my OR trip coming up soon and no one remembers a fucking thing about it when they decide I have to be here that week lol. This is why I started getting this shit confirmed in email.

 

Awe no shit 3/16" gets heavy real fucking quick.

I would've just gotten those holes cut on flat steel plate, and welded the plates with 2" beads at 4 - 6" centers give or take. Would've taken longer but way less hard work

 

too real

We even have a group text to make sure stuff coming up doesn't conflict with anyones schedules

they text everyone asking the out of town model to fly in and be in the studio the week of the 6th when my vacation starts

literally my last message in that group was a few posts above reminding everyone that I'm not here that week, and they actually go and text back "wE hAd No IdEa!"

 

I hate people like that

Least everything is documented electronically

Sucks biting your tongue, tactfully telling others you had shared your departure long ago and it was acknowledged by others already

 

Wasn't super tactful but this shit is starting to piss me off lol

 

I had just taken a college course on solidworks and I was trying to "prove my worth" lol

I shoulda just welded it

 

FUCK YESSSS

God I just read that in my former HR's voice...bitch was just like that (or sometimes worse)

 

hahaha shit is unbelievable lol

I love providing screenshot proof and they'll always be like "huh I don't remember sending that"

 

I'm sure a lot of companies are like this but my experience in the corporate fashion business is that everything is always an emergency and no one pays attention to anything until it's become a dire issue...it's like...you know there are ways to avoid this stress right

when everything is an emergency, nothing is an emergency

 

Should've said "bitch I drive a 4Runner now"

Almost as cool as being forklift certified...I'd say about 7 notches below that, but still

 

That's the worst..using it as an excuse

Yet if you didn't do something you were told to do and say "I don't remember" you bet your ass it'll be used against you to the fullest extent

 

My entire job is everyone else's emergencies. Ok maybe it's only 90% of my job. Thankfully they understand that there is a line that they have to form to get their emergencies resolved and sometimes the line doesn't move for a week when I want to go somewhere.

 

Is it a hatch or coupe?

 

Project anyone?
