1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Any of you guys watch alien Earth yet?

 

Nooope

is it like a documentary or a movie movie?

 

Saw it appear on our feed (netflix, or max I forget) but it's supposed to be a series

 

Shelter reached out - we said yes to foster her if we can grab her this Thursday since tomorrow won't work but man she looks a fuck load like Biscuit

 

Series on FX and Hulu. Looks pretty good. Thinking going to binge it next week at work.

 

Just wonder if the shit around here comes up in it or if it's completely different than what I'm thinking

 

You been seeing a lot of aliens?

 

Skin Walker and Blind Frog Ranch attract all sorts of humans for some reason

 

Almost tempted to make one last table extension, but going full table width

 

Why not

 

Laziness

I normally like to finish the steel on the table before throwing on a new sheet. Right now I still have several sq ft of 1/8" on top

 

I modeled it for only 10" out, which is still a significant amount when you consider the 6' behind it



Basically this, but at the full 24" width instead of 10" as shown

 

I need a small cart or tool box, whether rolling or stationary, underneath the right side of my fixture

I've been eyeballing the 1000 series Craftsman but I prefer two larger drawers versus any narrow ones

 

You could have used it on your last project!

 

Oh I did use it actually! The longer narrower extensions

But I used the shoulder bolts that hold in my press brake for mounting them to the fixture

 

If you struggle to find something short enough, maybe a packout/knockoff could work? Infinite configurations. I wanted something a pretty oddball size for a little bit of storage on my bender stand a bought a few of the Walmart packout pieces for super cheap and am pretty happy with it.

 

Got enough



It'd have to be metal, short, and with large drawers (meaning it'd just have two most likely)

Being plastic means there's a chance of molten metal falling between the holes while welding

Side note, I thought it'd be cool putting a chamfer for the holes on those table extensions

A 3/4" chamfer bit starts at $110 and easily goes up to $240

Yeah, fuck that...

 

Oh ya…

 

Please tell me you don't wear yoga pants when you weld
