I'm actually more concerned about what the military needs it for, than what a bunch of yayhoos from the general public might do with it. Seems they've pretty well perfected 3D holographic visual projection systems. Now voices in your head to go with the visuals? Hmm... -G

You've got everything pretty well right. As for the working distance, you can pretty much make it whatever fits your machine since you can focus the beam. Keep in mind, though, the farther the emitter is from the workpiece, the longer it will take to heat and burn the spot. Just get it as close...

From what I've been reading, the village did, indeed, catch it. But didn't do a damned thing about it. Therein lies the problem. People now days see something like this in the making, and rather than take a little personal responsibility upon themselves, would rather pass the buck. Or worse...

The camera seems to have captured the correct color, too.

And they're doing it with the same old carbon particles that you can see being trapped here on the forum. Only they've perfected the ability to move 'em around REALLY FAST! Scientists Create New Type Of 3D Images That Are Better Than Holograms | IFLScience

Paul, try Easy Off oven cleaner. I stripped several 501B's of their coatings with it. Takes off anodizing, too. -G

I got him in email early this past week. He's out of pocket somewhere and having a signal issue with reaching the forum. I ordered his 20w LPM and exchanged a couple of emails, and he accepted my paypal. Hopefully his signal issues won't last much longer. G

Arrived safe and sound, and working. Packing was superb! Pleasure doing biz with you, Zach. -G

Pretty easy actually, Jerry. I just cut a couple of notches on the lathe, and made a v-block out of wood. Then just laid the part in the block and pounded the wire in with a ballpeen. Then sand and polish, and voila! The only tricky part is making the joint disappear where the two wire ends...

Thanks BTG...now if I could just figure out how to get images inline since Photobucket shat on us.

Didn't come out half bad if I do say so myself. I pounded copper wire into a notch here.

I found this during some web browsing and had to post it here. For those of you that don't have one yet. Wired AND wireless remote actuator! Martin Rush SM650 650-Watt Fog Machine with Remote | PSSL Home Depot has a 400 watt one for 10 bucks more, and no remotes.

Wait what? I never heard anything about subbing the group in two places.... hellfire.....THAT'S probably why I'm not getting notif's. Hook a brutha up Hak!! Sorry to but into your thread KMitch, but this is important. 😉 -G

Umm...yeah. Copyright restricted.

Its a rigid column. Model 4190 from Little Machine Shop. 3-axis Bluetooth DRO's. I must say...I really love the DRO's. Takes the sting right out of backlash!! And, BTW... you said you cut M9x.5 threads in your focus caps. May I ask how? Lathe or tap? -G

I feel ya on finding room for everything! My little shop is only 10x20, and already I'm planning to add 8x20 more to it. And, in my book, ditching lawn mowers and toys is always justifiable for tools.:evil: Don't worry...that's all about to change. If I make this host to fit 26650's, the...

Ok...Alaskan - It only has a 3" chuck on it right now, but it can take a 4". Dden - What you're looking at is precision apparatus that will let me machine linear cuts on cylindrical parts...With the 5 part harmony...and precision. (Anyone who gets that reference, sound off and show yer age)...

I've been waiting since I got the mill up and running, and it's finally here. Without further ado, I present to you....my new Rotary Table. OK, so it's not a host...but I'm gonna use it to make hosts. [/URL][/IMG]

Think about it. If you direct a single, stationary laser beam at a mirror, no matter what shape the mirror is, all you're going to get is a single beam reflecting off of that mirror at some angle. Shape of the mirror is not a factor in this scenario. Making sense? -G

I like your thinking Radim...Alaskans too, but he knows this. I just wanted to comment on your idea that "only our bodies disappear". I disagree, nothing ever really disappears. Oh sure, the arrangement of energy waveforms no longer resembles a human, but it never disappears, only changes form.😉...
