Any sheet thickness/ strength I wanted was available, and a LARGE selection of test blocks ranging from 1" to 6" thick in a variety of alloys.

I guess that would be your dream huh? ;D

My wife works at an aluminum supply warehouse in the office.  i get to go sort through the drops bin and get it at almost cost.  Free is much better but i'm not a machinist, i just like to play with tools.

That stuff would look great in Paige's living room.

Heh if he wants it for his living room, i'll put it up on ebay for him.  I have a 1975 pyrometor guage in a case now.

ChadTower:

1975 is definitely his deco style.

Lucky punk. I work in a building where I couldn't even hope for anything like that. It's the damn bean counters that ruin it. Everything gets palletized, counted and shrink wrapped. Then it goes and sits in our storage for days, weeks, months or sometimes years before it goes off to be, "processed."

We just upgraded from nearly 200 high end P3's for some mid-upper range P4's. They've been sitting on pallets along with their CRT's and ancient LCD's for the last four months and I haven't been able to get near them.

I wandered into the "old" storage section and discovered an early 80's style cigarette pull dispenser still with packs and coinage. I've been trying to figure out how I could move it without drawing too much attention from the stinking counters.   :angry:

ChadTower:

Why would you want a cigarette machine?
