Re: [Emc-users] a bit of New Year levity
Nerves grow back too. My brother severed the tip of his little finger and it was stitched back on. No feeling for a long time, but the nerves grew back eventually. That's probably cheaper than the Cut Away Spray, but not as instant. Mind you; lack of feeling in the little finger might be useful if you were doing karate chops. No need to worry if the brick you were hitting was a bit too hard. Then again - No Pain: No Gain (?)

Re: [Emc-users] a bit of New Year levity
That was great. It's great marketing too. I had been buying metal from a number of places but had somehow misplaced Online Metals, but after laughing at their joke products for metalworkers, I checked their prices and they looked easier to shop and/or cheaper than my other prototype and small run sources. Plastics, too. I'll give them a try next time I need to place an order, which will be soon. That bit of clever humor might lead to several hundred dollars in new business from me this year. Hey, if you liked that, you'll probably love this video. I laugh out loud every time I watch it. I guess if you don't like robots or rock, you might give it a miss, but I'd wager most of you will enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RBSkq-_St8 (Compressorhead - Ace of Spades) Speaking of laughing out loud, I'm heading out now to pick up the kitted mechanical parts to build my beefy little 24 X 48 CNC router (with ball screws and linear rail). I'm positively giddy. The 1090 ounce inch NEMA 34 motors, motor drives, power supplies and optoisolated breakout board are all in state and FedEx says they'll be here Monday. I may buy a 24 X 48 X .25 thick or thicker aluminum top plate from Online Metals to go under the MDF spoil board, and some .25 polycarbonate sheets for the enclosure / dust collection / sound proofing.

Who says roboticists don't have style, humor, lots of time on their hands:-) Maybe there's a movie in this. Watching t it I hear a slogan forming in my head---a cross between Number Five is Alive (from Short Circuit) and We're getting the band back together (from The Blues Brothers). Thanks, Regards, Kent PS - I have to fess up. I had noticed but not paid any attention to the Cut Away blurb on the OnlineMetals website because I was concentrating on buying some metal. Then it was called out in a post to a local metalworking email list just a few days ago. So props to the original poster. -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
