Well, anything yet???

BTW, it may be month's away but eventually I will have some work for you

When I get my stainless sill plates back I want to fill the Fiero logo with a plexi/fogged insert the thickness of the stainless so it sits flush, and then install an LED back light so it glows when you open the door!!!

I saw something the other day you might be interested in doing. My wife dragged me (kicking and screaming, I might add) into the local Wild Birds Unlimited store. An artist had some wooden artwork there, of birds. He/She had cut birds out of wood, and had pieced them together out of different kinds of wood (For instance, there was a bluebird, on a tree branch. The bird was pieced together out of different kinds of wood. The head was out of one piece of wood, the wings were made out of different kinds of wood, the body and tail were different kinds of wood, all pieced together). That would be a dandy project for you to try in different colored plexiglass. Complex but easy shapes that fit together to form a bird. I'll see if I can find you a pic of what I'm talking about, but I think you get the gist.

^^ Hey Gunner I was looking at that very idea from one of the laser cutter manufactures .Maybe I can make a T/A from pieces who knows ? If I can come up with something interesting I will definately post it .
I still have to dig in a ground plate and hook up a computer and load the drivers . I should be doing a test thursday night hopefully

I got the exhaust ,compressor and water chiller hooked up today .

I mixed in 20% anti freeze with the distilled water and I thought it looked kinda cool in the laser tube

It broke my heart but I had to cut a hole in the garage wall and install a vent

Hmmm....I see some similarities...I think Rainman is up to no good

English, has Rainman been raiding your official Mad Scientist And Secret All Things Hoff Achive? Thats beginning to look less like an engraver and more like a weapon every time I see pics of it!

Now it may of been said that i have a strange infactuation with my mate Dave, in fact some have suggested that it is borderline stalking, but Dave has been told to leave me alone when im at home or indeed conversing with Liz, ( thats the queen to the rest of you ) but at no point have i ever condoned or implied that putting oneself into a situation that would warrant a consultation with proffessional help with what shall be known from this point onwards as a driving a Mini. Although one does not drive a Mini , one hopes to get from point A to B with as little incident as possible,quite frankly its participating in a game of what is also known as Russian Roulette as one is surely taking ones life into ones hands.

Rainman, when do you pick up the De Lorean for that machine ?

Gunner, help is on the way, a nice cup of Tea in my favourite mug.....

Sorry Rainman xx lol.
