CPK Encyclopedia Edit Discussion

I thought it looked like a 4" blade knife. I think doing both is a great idea if feasible.

Wonder what the weight would be.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Swords are wildly disruptive. I don't think I'm going to make swords again after this.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Right now I have this feeling like I just saw something secret, forbidden, and incredibly cool.
Like I stumbled into some hidden corner of the internet at exactly the right moment.

Awesome?
Awesome!

Truth is, I haven't shown this to anybody

Really heavy because it's all steel.

It would probably make a person's purse unwieldy, but I think you would probably be able to manage it because you'll just stick it in your pocket and carry it like a man.

Why is Nathan derailing the Encyclopedia discussion thread?! We need a dedicated WIP thread, maybe?

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

I acquired an Okamoto 3-axis automatic high precision surface grinder specifically for this project.


Those of you who knows what those are should be duly impressed.

Timmy?

Unfair unfair undair

I want it…!
Wow

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

I have everything I need to do this here

I just have to get these swords off the machines and swear to never do them again

 

[Moorik]

No jokes, I think showing the folder and the sword, and all of that in just 30 minutes, is literally unfair, Mr..!

Nah, this is good. No one's going to look in here. This can just be our dirty little secret.

Can we get it under 10 ounces?

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Can we get it under 10 ounces?

It's 8.2 oz

 

[trevitrace]

Sexy.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Jo and I were bidding on a 400 MM class horizontal last week. Specifically for this project. It got a little bit out of our budget though.

Maybe, with the deteriorating economic situation, there could be some good auctions at the end of the year.

We are ready

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

My biggest problem right now is shop space. Which is why there are shipping containers everywhere. I got too big for my space here.

 

[Blues]

It's 8.2 oz

I have folders of that weight. Not many...

 

[Casinostocks]

It's 8.2 oz

How does $100 an oz sound to you for the basic version?

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

I could probably make one that's 10 oz for you

 

[Richard338]

I'm convinced, let's do it.

I'm waiting for Nathan to pull the rug out from under us...
