What bands do you think could pull off duel headlining The Sphere? Full on bands because I know the techno stuff can do multiple acts. A band like The Roots could make it easier because those dudes can back anyone on earth and work really hard. I saw them do this one year on the national mall with Sting. They played the entire day and then did their own set.
Personally, id kill for The Brothers and Dead and Co to do this
Hey everyone, hope all of your days are going great!
Things to get ahead of: I’ve cut mother of pearl with this machine successfully before. I did it dry with an open door in the garage, dust boot, and then mopped when it was done. I also left the room while it was cutting. I’m never in the garage without a good (I believe p100) mask. I’d like to do something that lets me work while it’s cutting
I’m wondering if anyone with a Onefinity has made a water tray set up for cutting somewhat dangerous things and what you’ve learned in the process. Dos and don’t type stuff.
My plan is this so far: I made a good acrylic tray that’s EXTRA wide to provide more room for splashing. It also has 2 inch tall walls for the same purpose (I know that’s not perfect. I’ll be cutting mother of pearl in the center of the tray (very small surface area). The entire spoil baked will be lined with parchment paper, the same thing I do when cutting brass with cutting fluid, and it works mostly. Honestly cutting ebony can leave far more oil on the spoil board.
I edited my tool path and ran a test to keep the tool away from the walls, but also am considering letting it end simply by moving 1-2mm above the piece and stopping. Why the stop there? I think I might have a benefit for using a temp self made dust boot but without vacuuming, basically acting as another splash guard. I will also be oiling the rails a bit excessively before this process to let them act as some level of protectant. Should be close
To 20 hours total cutting time spread across 2 days
My big worries are splashes on the machine rails or bearings. I’m fully capable of taking parts of the machine apart and cleaning them up. Probably not a bad idea maybe once or twice a year to extend its lifespan anyway.

Did it again. Simple speaker out mod with a grill change. I love the look so much. Filmed it all for instructions. Will be out… eventually.
This is an excellent Jerry esque amp on a budget. It’s never going to sound like a tube, but it’ll get you damn close for not very much
Hey everyone. I’m off to cut a few mother of pearl pieces for complex inlays. Typically I do it by hand with soapy water but that’s not an option with this complexity. I have a few ideas for safety I’ve worked on. 2 fully separate concepts. One involved a dust boot and and leaving it over the piece for a few minutes after it cuts, Hepa filter and exhaust outside followed by heavy mopping literally everything. There’s also a box fan blowing out at the door.
Then I found another idea… I have a Onefinity and I’ve read it’s simple if you just find a way to redirect router air and then cut the pieces in a small water bath with maybe 1-2mm of liquid above the piece. I’m reading that you don’t need dust collection then. Obviously both ideas have a p100 mask and sealed goggled involved. But every idea is flawed seemingly. Will the router just turn the dust into a fine mist and make it worse? Is this actually a good method to keep things safe?
I guess a third option is viable considering the safety risk. I could buy a cheapo enclosed desktop CNC for this purpose alone. In that case, I’d against just exhaust outside and have this one by the door. My Onefinity is in the back corner. The passes are so light that it won’t be an issue if the machine sort of sucks. Just needs to hold a bit and spin it straight
And sure, a forth option is to pay someone with a professional set up to cut these things using my files.
I’m really not interested in damaging my lungs here
Just want to see others experiences and wisdom to know if I should be a little upset here or ignore it. Basically, a company sold a future tool in development. It seems fully formed from the photos. So I paid for it and was told it would be shipped in a few weeks. Ok, delays expected and understood, it’s life.
Anyway, I got one update from the company several weeks later saying it was almost ready and they were just working out a few kinks. I wished them luck and waited. A month or so went by and I asked for an update. It took them over a week to respond and again said it was weeks away with no explanation. Another month passed, the company announced they had been busy moving the facility. They never told me to expect this delay. I again asked for an update several days ago, and have received no response.
Is this normal for new tool development or just straight bad business practices? Did I just give them an interest free loan?
I won’t name the company.
The final initial version before making the casings fancier. Leaning towards using wood for something special.
Simple foot control of the speed knob, activated by plugging in a stereo patch cable.
Lots of info on the vid hopefully out by the end of the weekend. Happy to share info on how to do it before then if anyone’s itching for it and has a 3D printer plus a 6 pin switch jack. It costs about $10 to do this version. And I already made all of the mistakes for you so I can save you time :)
Anybody else notice Whole Foods cheapening their bottles and leaking adhesives into drinks? Sparkling water is almost always separated and they instruct not to drink due to chemical leakage… but why is it happening so often?
Working at Whole Foods must be really difficult.
So by wholes foods own words: it’s a mixture of cooling water during the manufacturing process and leaks adhesives into the drink. It’s extremely dangerous.
Whole Foods is going to get someone killed or really sick.
Please don’t respond if you’re a Whole Foods employee. This is genuinely dangerous and a disgusting cash grab.
Yea, Whole Foods is really worried
V1 of the Phase 100 ‘Sugaree Mod’
How to video coming soon along with V2s wooden case.
This uses a switch jack, so you get the regular functionality with nothing plugged in. If you plug a stereo cable in the back, the speed control goes to a pedal for foot control. Now you can do major Sugaree swells.
It’s a very simple mod that sort of requires an extension for the parts to fit
Hey Vegas people, I just upgraded my printer and I have two that have been with me for a while that I no longer need. Trying to find someone who needs a printer. Both are color printers, one is inkjet one is the other. Both have fax. One has a scanner. 100% free.
I’d really prefer to give it to students or teachers. Located in Summerlin and willing to drive about 10 minutes or so.
If your a student earning straight A’s, I’ll drive wherever in Vegas
This show is so badly written now that this is how the cliffhanger scene will go…
Faye screams, Wayne wakes, house doesn’t believe either and kills Wayne and Faye right there. Rue gets out in the chaos. A “I now believe in god” moment while narrating everyone else
Posted yesterday but have done some tests and gained a lot more info on what I can manage. So now I’m wondering if this will work.
I have a typical little temp and humidity reader hanging exactly in the center of my paint booth. I can use basically an entire spray bottle to soak the walls and floor, then have a steam cleaner running and keep it moving fast in the booth for maybe 10 minutes. Then, I can get 48% humidity max. If I turn the exhaust fan on, humidity goes back to 10% in about 4-5 minutes. The only other info needed is that this is 2K rattle cans, and it’s a literal one project use so I don’t need a more permanent set up at this time.
The plan is to spray after doing what I described, then do the steam while it’s off gassing for 10-15 minutes. It’s going to be really annoying and not perfect. But for a one project use, technically this will have a much better chance of succeeding? Not sure how air flows or humidity so idk if the levels will be wildly different throughout the booth
Please help! :)
About to spray some 2k. It’s only 10% humidity here and 80 degrees. I can up the humidity for very little time because of the fan running when spraying. Does anybody have experience with the 40-60% being super important? As in can anyone get away with spraying in my environment with a slightly altered method?
Virgin is the last hotel on planet earth, but especially Vegas, that is stealing unopened and legally obtained marijuana products from your pockets. What motivation is there for this? Products not being consumer not being opened… legally held in a pocket? What con artist is running this game?
Anyway, security isn’t very tight lipped about why they do it after hours.
Bands: stay away from Virgin. It’s a venue so corrupt it can hurt your bands reputation.
Title says it all. Excellent show regardless. But man, fuck that Austin Powers wannabe.
Hey everyone!
I have a dumb question involving a bookmatched maple piece I have for a Les Paul build. The problem is that it’s slightly warped and to actually flatten it would remove too much wood. If all else fails, I’ll just flatten it and then add a piece of another contrasting wood for the binding effect, ultimately saving me time. And making it more unique.
But I’m wondering about steaming wood flat. I’ve heard it works some times, others it doesn’t. Other people say it’s a temp fix that always goes back to where it was. Is there any legit use for flattening wood without cutting or sanding it? It’s planed as is. It’s at about 16.7mm now.
Dumb ideas I have: heating two steel plates with wood between them and clamping for a few days, reapplying heat periodically. Steam too.
Does anybody know if personal professional cameras are allowed at the after shows in Tuscany?
Does anyone know if security at the Virgin confiscates pens and edibles? I saw a show there a few years ago and they literally took our unopened edibles and pens. Just wondering because that’s super out of the ordinary for every other venue here
I need to make a one off silicon mold for a prototype. May need more later but yet 100%.
I’m wondering if it’s dangerous to make a diy pressure chamber with a pressure cooker, or just sealing a box and using one of those wine saver things to remove air. I don’t need it to be industrial quality, just good enough
