Thanks a lot callen, I was really, pleasantly surprised by the turnaround, too.Originally Posted by callen_1
That's beautiful man! Very awesome design, and i can't believe how quickly the laser guy did the job. I couldn't even get a quote to have aluminum cut (they'd only do mild steel) let-alone a 1 hour job! Now if you'll excuse me, i'm going back up for another look at those pics
If you read too much into it, maybe it implies that this shop (or at least the laser cutting function) is not terribly busy, or maybe it's not the core of their business, at least not a large part. Nonetheless the quality and tolerance speak for themselves, I am extremely happy with the cutting accuracy + precision.
For the record (callen not for you specifically as I'm sure you're very familiar with various metals), the laser guy said mild/stainless steel is hard and the laser just *blasts* through it Cyclops-style, leaving a clean edge that's smooth to the touch. Aluminum is soft and for whatever reason (the behind the scenes physics escapes me) the cutting process leaves micro burrs that need to be filed away. Max 15-minute filing job at any rate but just something to take note.
Thanks a lot Charles, of course you must hear this a lot but it bears (roar) repeating, many design elements are inspired by your murderMod work. So cheers to that and thanks for your support as always, and now that you've piqued my curiosity, I'm dying to see what you have in store (literally and figuratively) next!Outstanding execution as always Kibbs!
I'm not supposed to be out in public - I'm deep, deep in design phase working on new stuffs and trying to stay totally focused. I just wanted to pop out/in briefly and say how much I'm enjoying your work.
If that's me you're referring to please email me instead as my PM box here is full and I haven't had a chance to weed it. There's actually something I wanted to talk to you about...
btw yes I was referring to you, I will shoot you an email post-haste.
