It gets jealous when it sees lathe turned legs and inset panels.
Add some lights so it then becomes an electrical project.What the heck. It's interesting, doesn't require a lot of brain power, and I'm good at it. Just wondering if the mods are secretly discussing revoking my membership because this isn't a carpentry forum...
Absolutely brilliant idea! Does anybody know at what rate to flash the LEDs to mesmerize the dogs? Perhaps a cat face with glowing red eyes so the dogs will just cower in fear of the demon?Add some lights so it then becomes an electrical project.
100HP.I'm starting a thread here so we can play, "How big is it?"
[...]
How big is yours?
hah? Crap I forgot they don't let just anybody in there .
Won't let me in to see the motor.
Little help here, strantor?
I'm thankful that my involvement was limited to the DC drive and associated controls, and not the Fanuc system. That Fanuc system is pure sorcery!That thing has more hocus-pocus in it than a medical X-ray machine! Has it crossed your mind that 100 hay-burning horses might be a simpler solution?
When I was working for myself, I was an LLC and I had $2M general liability coverage, so as far as I know, my a$$ was covered and I didn't really sweat the finer details. Now I'm working for someone else, so I care even less about the legal aspect of these things. If they don't have all their ducks in a row, that's on them, not me (sure I might lose my job, but I'm not going to prison). I'm sure there is some sort of liability insurance involved and probably an additional warranty/guarantee and/or release/limit of liability agreement over and above that, but I don't know.In my line of business, I have always been told: "Put it back the way you found it". Don't change ANYTHING or we lose our UL certification and pay for every house that burns down, even if you made a change that was correct, safe, and effective. Thou shalt not re-design a retail product.
Perfect example: a 2 horsepower air conditioner with a 1/4 horsepower fan motor that costs $500 (wholesale) because it's a variable frequency drive, DC motor. Factory Authorized repairmen have to put it back the way they found it, but the unlicensed, shade tree mechanics just put in a $75 AC motor and replace the drive board with a relay, and it works.
Now I'm considering your work. You walk in on a machine that is so old that serial data had not been invented and make it work with modern parts and systems. How do you do that, legally? I'm sure you didn't submit 3 samples to Underwriters Laboratories for certification. Who pays for the damage if it burns to the ground, taking maybe 30,000 square feet of building and half a dozen dead workers with it?
Please do not limit yourself to exactly the question I asked. I'm sure there is a lot more to it than I can imagine from here.
