mechanical woodvil prototype

[Train2]

Can someone tell me a little about a stabilized Reo?
Would it be lower maintenance? More scratch-resistant? e-liquid-proof or rinse-able? Prone to a crack, from rigidity?
Would it be buffed to a shine (like unsure's Tesla avatar)? Any kind of coating on it or oiling recommended?

Short answer...Two-part process requires applying/infusing acrylic resins and color dye to wood followed by a curing period. The result is a water-resistant, harder-than-untreated wood that can be machined and drilled etc. Rob used a poly on all my stabilized REOs. To me it feels like a polished stone and you don't get the warmth of natural wood........but I likey.

Absolutely right unsure.

The infusing process is quite time consuming as the wood is immersed in resin in a vacuum container, the air is pumped out and that causes the resin to infuse the wood to the core. Basically you leave it in there till there's no more air (bubbles) coming out and the result after it cures is a much stronger and water resistant surface which lasts forever. Looks the business on burls

I wrote a script that has the F5 keystroke on a single word voice activation.

My drinking bird F5 army has been training all year for this event:

An army will be tough to do battle against. I will at least show up.

I hope it's not "antidisestablishmentarianism", 'cause that would be, like, a fail.

I shall be outsourcing the F5'ing to a legion of WoW players jacked up on Red Bull...

Its much more easier and much faster to single dye wood than double-dyed inorder to get the 2 colors a separate look. The grain is a factor since that's where the dye seems to show and a dominate color can easily over power an other if not done right.

I'm loving the fact that Rob picked up the stabilizing equipment to do his own. Can't wait to get my dirty hands on some of that

The Tesla double red dyed block I had made was $60. So cost of my REOs have a higher price tag. lol

Your move.

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

Your move.

I have their leader...



He is being treated well... but there will be no F5'ing by his subjects.

As added insurance, I have backups in reserve...

Stupid aussie dollar just keeps plummeting

Rob once the resin mods are in production do you anticipate"sale days" like the woods or a steady stock like alu?

right now he's got to put the same labor into them as a wood, create each one from a solid block. So unless he can get some kind of mold working it will probably be more like the woods.

 

[CaptSteve]

Dout he can do a mold for the resins to get the same finish as a milled resin mod. Only way I can see that is with injection molding and that requires some hefty machinery. Could be wrong but my hunch is that a mold wouldn't work.

Speaking of made from a solid block. If you haven't seen the videos Rob posted during the last wood run of his CNC machine, it's worth a look. They start here.

Sweet, nothing better than witnessing the birth of yet another Woodvil. Thanks for the link FB and Karen for posting.

PS
Rob if you put a smaller diameter hose on your dust/chip collector you'll find you get but better suction of the chips brother.

Very sweet CNC machine but he really wanted a replicator.

...sadly enough I even know what episode that pic came from...the Cryo-frozen peeps from earth, business tycoon, house wife and that country bumpkin party guy...Data was getting the replicator to make a guitar for the dude...

shoot me now...
