If there is anyway I can get my hands on the material tomorrow morning - even if you are busy - I can talk to Ron and Steve about all of the possible ways to work with it that they have in the shop- in case you are unable to make it to Comart yourself. <BR/><BR/>To echo Roslyn was there anyway that we could use any of the scraps?<BR/><BR/>I guess cutting it ourselves gives us a little more flexibility. Can we still order it tomorrow - I am back in Syracuse and can help with my credit card.<BR/>It could be nice that it changes with light I imagine.<BR/>MarionMarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275512325372315939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196767819280721552.post-18744487068254105302007-10-21T06:34:00.000-04:002007-10-21T06:34:00.000-04:00Yes cazhog is David..long story about a pig. The s...Yes cazhog is David..long story about a pig. The sheet metal shear is opposite the large metal brake and drill press. It has a single pedestal leg attached to the floor and a long handle. You've probably walked by it dozens of times without noticing it.cazhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03251782569883346060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196767819280721552.post-60633961392465703072007-10-20T21:00:00.000-04:002007-10-20T21:00:00.000-04:00we will be able to bend it pretty tight.

I havent tried to crease it yet, as I want to cut it first. <BR/><BR/>what did you guys use to cut the floor pans? i couldnt find anything in the shop to cut it clean with. also, the jigsaw had gone missing and there werent any finetooth metal blades for it anyway. there is a pretty large metal shearer at the university physical plant down towards the end of comstock. I was going to try and go there monday morning right after 9 and see if we could use that. <BR/><BR/>bye the bye, who is Cazhog? are you David?Vincent Appelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130397198957276386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196767819280721552.post-4610473627041456062007-10-20T19:25:00.000-04:002007-10-20T19:25:00.000-04:00If it's the same tool, we used it to cut the floor...If it's the same tool, we used it to cut the floor pans. It's very easy to use. I might be able to get my hands on a pair of hand-held electric metal shears. Let me know.<BR/>It would be interesting to see if we can bend it with the metal brake as well....then we could make some interesting shapes (e.g. window/door trim or edging).cazhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03251782569883346060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196767819280721552.post-89886749761588327642007-10-20T18:56:00.000-04:002007-10-20T18:56:00.000-04:00we will be able to predict/ control the way lighti...we will be able to predict/ control the way lighting effects the material .. so its not a bad thing in that sense.
