your dad is hugh hefner?

Dunno if that's quite the right word for it


I'll keep the details out of this thread, just keep the awesome-ness coming.

I'll have to take your word for it and hope it comes in useful somewhere down the road. Right now it's only use seems to be in giving me headaches.

have you been introduced to princess sohcahtoa yet?

Friday was it's first day in the theater.

With certain skill sets we can't mention on the forums, you shouldn't have a hard time watching it though.

Ill probably have it by friday...lol!

Getting my thumbdrive back tomarrow.







Gwaii looks awesome, can't wait to see a finished product. Have you ever tried carbon fiber?

Sine = opposite/hypotenuse
cosign = adjacent/hypotenuse
tangent = opposite/adjacent

I knew that Trig for Dummies book was good for something.

haven't had the opportunity....yet.

but from my(minimal)research on it,it's not as simple as fiberglass.

i've been using that mnemonic for over thirty years now....back when we had to use tables in the back of books...scientific calculators weren't invented yet.

No I seen some done, it requires presurizing and baking...

Well the problem I'm having is that the only class I could get into with my work schedule was online. Teaching myself + First math class in 3 years = hard as hell. How's that formula? Managed to get a 85 on my first test and a 98 on the retake of my second test. If I can keep this up I may just be able to pull this class off with at least a C.

ya,that's what i meant by 'not as simple'.

comparatively,fiberglass is stone age tech.a roller and a paint brush are the big techy tools involved

IIRC from my composites class in school (that was ~6 years ago) that depends on your desires for the final product. Many people only want the looks of carbon fiber and don't need the strength, for that I believe that you can use it just like you would fiberglass. Where the other processes come in is if you require the strength as well.

if you can pull grades like that,i'd be looking for better than a 'c'.

remember,you may have to work your butt off for a while to get through this,but afterward you can make that grade work for you for years.

this is true...but carbon fiber is also much stiffer than fiberglass,so if it's a form with a lot of shape you are trying to make it's really hard to get the cloth to stay in place while the resin sets.

Which is a process I need to take up I want to make a rear bumper for my focus.
