The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIV

Not really. Spreadsheets and more spreadsheets.

Good Tuesday Morning all. Having coffee for now and getting caught up on events then off to gym. With all the Cedar Pollen in the air here in Austin will not be doing much outside today. The Cowboys got a new Coach, now if only Jerry Jones will let him coach. Only time will tell? Hope you all have a great Tuesday and please be safe out there!!

I have one, beat the chit out of it with my little impact, no problems yet.

We need a WDYDWYZ (tool edition) so we can watch JC load that 5 mil dollar box and the rest of us can show off our HF/Amazon chinesium sets

Spoiler

LOL... “Chinesium”.

Where I used to work, engineers would design large pressure vessels out of exotic materials that were then too difficult to get many fab shops to quote.

I would have to go into project status meetings and tell people that the actual name of the material was “Unobtainium”, because we apparently couldn’t buy it anywhere.

Hah I know this game. We had a company come to us and ask for a quote on a welded Niobium shield. A young engineer accepted the job without having it reviewed.

For those who don't know, Niobium is the new hotness in the superconductor world because of the relatively high temperature at which it reaches superconductivity.

It also has a melting point close to the internal temperature of the sun (hyperbole, but super hot) and the design called for differing thicknesses of niobium to be welded together (so they reach welding points at different temperatures). Also it needs to be welded in an inert atmosphere (in this case a plastic bubble filled with Argon). The end result was ugly. Welders couldn't fixture it because by the time the niobium was hot enough to melt to itself, it had already melted the fixtures. Also, they could hardly see what they were welding because the plastic bubble they purchased was a budget item, which meant a rippled and wrinkled surface which the welders could hardly see through even without the welding mask.

Eventually we contacted the would-be purchasers to let them know all attempts had failed and we would flog the engineer who accepted the job as a corrective action.

It’s not quite 5mil, but if you were to add everything at list price (including box)...it would probably be near 50k
Reminds me; I need to put additional insurance on it
I’ll have to figure it up one day

Good morning everyone!

Speaking of Chinesium I got a set of Tekton stubby combo wrenches yesterday.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That fills the mm wrench drawer. Next drawer on the list is ratcheting wrenches.

Their angle wrench set, those are made here in Grand Rapids.
