What Cheered You Up Today?

Don't recall us doing coils.
But sheet and "plate" up to 15" (380mm)

Yeah. We do sheet metal. .016 to .036. Residential and commercial duct, mostly. A little architectual stuff from time to time, but mostly just HVAC.
We buy coils of steel, 5 - 10 thousand lbs. each. My Duct-O-Matic holds six coils. I select the width and guage, punch in the dimensions and catch the finished product at the end of the line.
500' of product takes about an hour and a half.

Friday I was back to "work" tooling around in hot cars; and today I got to a local model show. Didn't take anything to show but I did take away

Exactly what I need that I didn't know I needed for the upcoming Foreign GB.

Speaking of doing on-line searches. A few weeks back I was getting ready to paint my airplane's propeller and was looking for the official standards for painting the tips with markings to make it more visible when rotating. The concern is not giving the Ronco Veg-A-Matic any competition, especially using human beings.

Finding the only FAA standard that referenced the subject to be about 35 years old and long since superceded, I did an online search for propeller markings. Then I Iaughed for 15 min.
One thing that came up was the picture of a 1/32 F3F-3 model I posted on this website years ago. I was careful to mark the model's prop in the three colors used by the USN before WWII, red, yellow, and dark blue. And there was picture I had taken of that model, showing up in a Google search as an example of propeller markings!

I guess I am now an authority, huh?

Dad spent his entire career after college, in the refinery business. I grew up thinking that anything under 1" was sheet metal.....

Me thinks it must be travelling at the speed of dark so it is not visible to the naked eye?

Nothing a little blue pill in the tank cant help.

After members here said adapters were available for old lenses on DSLR cameras, I just ordered a Canon adapter for all of my FD lenses to fit The EOS.

Stopped by the Thunderbirds hangar and museum at Nellis and picked up a coin for my collection.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

How come the second coin has the "5" upside down in the "1953"!

 

[fubar57]

A keeper for sure

 

[Greg Boeser]

That's a collector's item right there!

Good catch! I'm not sure. Error maybe? Maybe thats why it was free.


Edit: The #5 is painted upside down on jet #5 because it represents how the lead solo spends most of his time during an aerial demonstration which appears right-side-up for much of the routine. USAF Thunderbirds Super Delta Formation. F-84F, F-84G, F-100C, F-105B, F-100D, F-4, T-38, F-16.
