jamie peacock: Welcome to the Lone Machinists, where it's just you, the work, and the machines. What have you got going on today, Kurt?
Curt: Uh, this week I'm going to try not to die and I'm going to talk about a bunch of fun shit because I've just been on vacation. So I'll talk about abandoned mines and giant bells and flying drones and yeah.
Curt: Uh, how about you, Master Jamie?
jamie peacock: Nice. Nice.
Curt: Who what are going to chat about?
jamie peacock: um Well, we've got a product announcement coming later in the podcast. We're going to talk about some production issues we've been having this week.
Curt: Ooh.
jamie peacock: um And we're going to talk about, well, we're going put up a poll. dont know if it's to the patrons or to everyone about me getting a haircut. But yeah, before I am Tess.
Curt: who
jamie peacock: But yeah, how are you doing this fun day, Kurt?
Curt: Good dude, um I made it through my entire trip and then got home and caught whatever freaking virus you have. um and yeah no
jamie peacock: Nice. I faxed it to you.
Curt: You 100% faxed it to me, so I'm sitting here just like sweating profusely on a copious amount of drugs, so if this podcast gets a little wonky, that's probably why.
Curt: Anyways, how's sunny South Africa?
jamie peacock: Yeah, I just remembered. it Yes, sunny and fun. um I just remembered something. ah We found somewhere that does DTF printing, and you buy the blank roll and he transfer your own stuff.
Curt: Oh, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: And I have jumpers with stuff.
Curt: Oh, nice. Oh, sick. Okay, so you can just put it on whatever.
jamie peacock: Yeah, so like full color, all the details, all of our shirt designs Danica had printed locally and I can now have them.
Curt: Yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: And ah yeah, we're thinking of offering, if you buy anything on Nautical Workholding, you can get a shirt made by us if you want.
Curt: Oh, cool.
Curt: Oh, that's cool. What was that?
jamie peacock: I'm very curious as to what the fuck that was. One moment, please. Okay, well, don't know what that noise was, but I blame ghosts.
Curt: good Okay, well, we'll see if you get murdered.
jamie peacock: Yeah, I heard a loud slamming noise, but I have no idea where the fuck it came from. Anyway, um yeah, so now all my shirts have J-Spec and Nautical on my shoulders because we can do fancy DTF printing and it's not a total borel ache to do.
Curt: Ooh, fancy.
jamie peacock: And relatively cheap.
Curt: Nice. Yeah, just yeah just like iron on or whatever, or heat press on or something.
jamie peacock: ah Yeah, we've got a we've got to heat press, so...
Curt: Okay, fancy fancy.
jamie peacock: is he press Well, it's sucked with yeah it's one of the little ones you hold my hand, but Danica just stands on the fucking thing and it transfers beautifully.
Curt: Cool. Nice.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: and
jamie peacock: It needs quite a bit of force. But yeah, now I can get more CNC Machining Expert shirts for my workshop helper who sweeps and moves shavings and runs the press because it brings me great joy seeing him in that shirt.
Curt: Oh, nice.
Curt: Yeah. What? Sorry, what does it say?
jamie peacock: CNC Machining Expert.
Curt: Oh, sick. Okay.
jamie peacock: Yes, it's my old shirt.
Curt: ah
jamie peacock: You need a shirt for the workshops. have this shirt. And yeah, it brings me great joy to see him wearing that.
Curt: That's awesome.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: That's awesome.
jamie peacock: So how was your how was your vacation?
Curt: Dude, it was so nice. i was like way in the sticks, like out of cell service. um So like I couldn't check Instagram. I couldn't get emails.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: I couldn't, I could barely get phone calls. So it was like for anybody that knows, I was in, I was in BC and I was down by Rock Creek. So it's like just middle of nowhere kind of area.
Curt: um Just have some family down there. So yeah, it was, it was super nice. It was, it was hot as hell. We had a nice clear weather, even though like there's some heinous smoke right they are there right now.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: But it was good weather. and Yeah, it was good time. It's just nice to like be forced to like fully unplug my brain from our world. Because like I couldn't really like play with our world because I'm like oh, well, I have no service to do anything.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: So I'm like, I guess I'll just do all this shit that I wanted to do. So yeah, i was it was good. I'm glad I went. It's just, yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah. oh It was an ass break.
Curt: Dude, yeah, it was so nice. Like, it's something... it's It's the whole... The hard thing about, like, when you work for yourself, it's like, it's so easy to just never stop working because, like, you just...
jamie peacock: I wouldn't know anything about that.
Curt: Like, you... Yeah, you say, like, well, I gave up my nine five for a frickin' twenty four seven Like, just...
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: And we all do it. We just work and work and work and work and work and work, which is fine because we probably all like it.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: Like I do enjoy working continuously. It's not like it's stressful for me, but it's kind of nice to actually not do that.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: So.
jamie peacock: Yeah. So that time, well, I would say that's my September, but it is not because I'm going to IMTS. um
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: And let's be real, that's that's a work thing. We actually, I'm in the throes of trying to get the map of IMTS printed because I'm planning on publishing my planned movements for there.
jamie peacock: Like, okay, cool. On this day, going to be in this for the morning. my My goal is in the morning, go look at the stuff I need that I want to go look at. And then the afternoons are just a free for all.
Curt: Oh, cool.
jamie peacock: Like, if you want to go somewhere, I'll go with you.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Like, I don't give a shit. Like, let's go on adventures. um But the mornings, I want to take a bit of time and go look at specific things.
Curt: Oh, cool. Okay.
jamie peacock: Yeah, go see whose vases I can copy and things like that.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Pull an
Curt: Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome.
jamie peacock: AJ. Yeah. So that is the plan for IMTS. I'm quite excited for IMTS. Yeah.
Curt: yeah it's ah Yeah, it looks like it'd be a ton of fun.
jamie peacock: I know, and we're going to have to get a cardboard cutout still.
Curt: Yeah, I know. so Yeah, well, whatever. That's a whole changing cluster every day. so
jamie peacock: Yep. But yeah, that's fine. I actually need to modify the Airbnb booking to be one day less.
Curt: Oh, yeah.
jamie peacock: Because we are leaving Chicago on the Saturday, not the Sunday.
Curt: <unk> Gotcha, gotcha.
jamie peacock: Yeah, and then heading to New York to go, and I don't know, if I can look at people or something for three days.
Curt: There's a lot of them to look at there.
jamie peacock: And then, yeah, so...
Curt: Yeah, it's a good time. I like New York.
jamie peacock: Yeah, New York's going to be ah going to be interesting. But that'll be a bit of a vacation because it's three days of, i don't know, looking at shit. And then we fly home. Hopefully no one needs tuna on the plane.
jamie peacock: And then we literally land back here in the afternoon. And 2 a.m. the following morning, we get in the Land Rover and we drive to Plett for my brother's birthday.
Curt: Oh, rough.
jamie peacock: I started on birthday for his wedding.
Curt: Oh, yeah, that's going to ah's going to suck with with jet lag, yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah, that's a 13-hour drive. It's going to be rough. So I think what I'm going to... Yeah, I think what we'll do... Sleeping pills on the plane home. Get our clocks back synced to South Africa time. And then I'll probably get home early evening, smash a sleeping pill.
jamie peacock: And then wake up at 2am and I'll just take the first shift of the drive and Danica can sleep. And then we can trade halfway through. Yeah.
Curt: okay, yeah, okay. Oh, oh.
jamie peacock: I can sleep in the car, no problem. So as long as people don't try to fucking talk to me, I can sleep. Um...
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: And then, yeah, she can drive. Like, I'm doing... i know I'm driving the last... I think it's two hours when we do the mountain pass. Danica's not interested in driving that. I'm like, fuck yeah, put the thing into dirt road mode and fucking send it.
Curt: Sure.
jamie peacock: Like, yeah, the landing does really well on off-road.
Curt: ha Nice.
jamie peacock: But, yeah, that's...
Curt: Sick.
jamie peacock: September's gonna be fun.
Curt: Yeah, it sounds like fun. It sounds like fun.
jamie peacock: Yeah. Yeah, we've got a lot of work until then. Got to order for another batch of molds, so... going to be fun i ordered a shank hydraulic six millimeter i've got to run a six millimeter ball mill 10x extension or 10x stick out yeah so i ordered a shank i'm actually very much considering going to one of my neighbors who have a cylindrical grinder and seeing if i can get them to grind just relieve the shank by like a thou just so that i don't rub in the corner yeah because it's a three radius and if i go to five it's going to be hilarious
Curt: Oh,
Curt: oh okay. Okay. Just so you're not rubbing.
Curt: Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: like it's going to be floppy noodles. So yeah, we'll see. I've got an order for five sets of molds.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: So that is my, pretty much it's a week worth of machining to machine all the molds. And then I've got the last of the rings are going in the machine later today.
Curt: Okay.
jamie peacock: We're starting with those.
Curt: The giant rings?
jamie peacock: Yes, the last seven of each are getting put in the machine this week and will be done and I can get paid for that.
Curt: Okay.
jamie peacock: And then I have some money to go to the end, yes.
Curt: Sick. Yeah, that's been a long time long time coming. We've been working on that forever.
jamie peacock: Yeah, it's, yeah, the delivery was only, the full delivery was only planned for August. So it was staged.
Curt: Oh, okay, okay.
jamie peacock: But yeah, that's now done. Hopefully that'll become a recurring order. It'd be great.
Curt: Yeah, that'd be sick. Yeah, cool cup.
jamie peacock: Yeah. um But yeah, the anchor points have been super useful for that kind of shit because got fixtures. I drop them on. I check their flatness. I probe the bore and I hit go. Like, it works beautifully.
Curt: Sick.
jamie peacock: um And yeah, I've been using the anchor points and stuff going in and out of the machine this week. Like crazy.
Curt: Nice. Yeah, I know. I feel like I feel like i haven't talked to you in a million years because we've...
jamie peacock: Like, yeah. Dude.
Curt: Yeah, I was like, I don't know what's going on in your world at all.
jamie peacock: ah well, so we bought hydraulic chuck for Cole's lathe.
Curt: Okay, to get rid of the manual. Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yes, because he did 450 parts.
jamie peacock: Yeah, parts.
Curt: Okay.
jamie peacock: Loaded twice So 300 the next batch, Op1.
Curt: Okay. Okay.
jamie peacock: worth a talk- wrench
Curt: oh ah
jamie peacock: annie did another three hundred of the next batch up one
Curt: oh ah
jamie peacock: I went on Friday and bought some hydraulic. That oak needs to buy a fucking lotto ticket. So when we when he got his machine, it had a two-jaw chuck. Obviously, we're not going to run a two-jaw because we like to not die. um So we pulled all the hydraulics off. He put a manual chuck. That's how we you didn't have the money to buy a hydraulic chuck.
jamie peacock: um We plugged in everything and everything just fucking worked. The draw tube adapter fits in the new chuck.
Curt: Mm-hmm.
jamie peacock: this the um The chuck I bought, they didn't have stock of the A2-5 adapter. So we took the old one, cleaned it, and just bored fucking three more holes in it.
Curt: Mm-hmm.
jamie peacock: Bang, problem solved. So yeah, he's now got a hydraulic chuck, which is much easier than a torque wrench, and cuts about a minute per part off of the cycle.
Curt: listen
Curt: Yeah.
Curt: Oh, and probably low cycle or low cycle time parts anyways, so.
jamie peacock: ah Yeah, it was like two and a three minutes per pot. So it's huge.
Curt: Yeah, that's huge.
jamie peacock: So he's he'll be there this morning before I get there. We needed to find another day to hit the delivery on these pots because they want 660 pots and they wanted them in, think it was 10 days.
jamie peacock: And they were drilling up.
Curt: Cool.
jamie peacock: So they started with solid bar. They were drilling a hole through and boring it for us. So it was coming as if it was hollow bar because that's how the customer ordered the material. So Carl's been running these, but now they couldn't deliver all the blanks. So we're going to finish another 50 parts on op one and then switch op two. It's 330 right-hand, 330 left-hand thread.
jamie peacock: So we'll start doing one of the threads.
Curt: Okay.
jamie peacock: Then when we get the rest of the parts, we'll finish the op ones on them and then go to finish threading them. and that's a four tpr thread with a four millimeter square insert yeah we're threading at 600 rpm and ah that machine runs beautifully like this little lathe is this month is going to have threaded like a thousand parts yeah so his lathe is uh is very fancy but uh yeah the other lathes have been giving us a little bit of shit the good way
Curt: Okay. Okay.
Curt: Ooh, chunky boy.
Curt: Nice. Nice.
jamie peacock: um We can't get the drill we want to use for the for the tapping. So we're drilling slightly oversized and the supply is out of stock.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: And they're the only ones I know of locally that do stub drills in an 8.7. It's the only supply that I have that does that. So I ordered, I'm like, okay, do they have uncoated? Just send me fucking uncoated drills.
jamie peacock: And the uncoated drills and steel, they work, but if you don't have the coolant set up right and you push it a bit hard, you end up burning the tip and then that's what it, it's fine. And we had that happen.
Curt: Oh.
jamie peacock: The Z axis faulted on the lathe, and then it went across in X and smashed all the tools.
Curt: Oh.
jamie peacock: So that's now prevented. If you if one of the drives fault, because the reason I didn't have it set up like that is generally it would just fault both drives. It's not an issue. The machine would just sit there. um Now it hits a limit switch, one of the limits inputs. So if the drive faults, the machine stops.
jamie peacock: And you're going to have to reset your X position. If your Z folds, you're going to lose position. that just is what it is. um But we're having drill walking issues on that job. I think the batch of bar that we got in is harder than the previous batch.
jamie peacock: Because it's just bright, mild steel.
Curt: Oh, okay.
jamie peacock: um And we're having drill walking issues, like ever so slightly. It's not really critical. We've got it drilling straight enough now. But I had to get really fancy in the program where we... when you so Because it's an auto-feeding program that calculates the bar length. I've got it that if a variable is equal to the starting variable, it goes and drills first and then chamfers holes. So we're chamfering the holes before we're drilling to make sure that we're not getting a burr pushed against the end of the drill and getting stuck there until we start drilling. Like a whole bunch of stupid shit we're having to implement. We've made like 3,000 of these parts without issue. Now all of a sudden we're having issue with the new batch of material.
Curt: Hmm. Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah, so little...
Curt: That sounds apart then, yeah. Yeah.
jamie peacock: little bit annoying, but we've got it running re reliable-ish enough. um we go ah We bought, we went and bought a new collet because we thought the collet was fucked and that was, it was seating differently. So went and bought a new collet, had that wire cut, um but now the friction in the collet's a little bit higher, so the bar puller's not bar pulling properly.
Curt: shit.
jamie peacock: It's like just never ending, so I'm going to machine some new bar pullers today and then we should have it running with bar pulling with a lot more force.
Curt: Shit.
jamie peacock: And hopefully that will solve the issues.
Curt: Yeah, yeah, it sucks on the high high quantity, yeah.
jamie peacock: Like, we have no issue bar pulling 25mm bar, but there's 15.875. Not a fuck. Endless shit with bar pulling. It'll pull short, short, then it'll pull fine for 10 parts. Then it'll pull one short.
jamie peacock: And it's like, we just need a little bit more force, I think. And that'll solve the issue. job um
Curt: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: that's been That's been fun on the good way.
Curt: Well, I mean, that's good you got them all running, but.
jamie peacock: Yeah. Sorry. yeah sorry Yeah.
Curt: It says good you got everything built.
jamie peacock: Well, we had the Emco. The Emco is running samples this week, threading two and a half pitch. ah Turns out I can only do that at like 700 RPM because I start running into the maximum feed rate of the of the motors because it's only got a three meter rapid because it's a tiny machine. It doesn't need more than that.
jamie peacock: So you've got to make sure you're not trying to thread faster than the machine's rapids.
Curt: Right, right.
jamie peacock: And then, yeah, there's one part. It's a tapered thread, but the thread is a different taper to the OD of the pot.
Curt: ah Okay.
jamie peacock: So the thread is tight as shallower than the pot.
Curt: Okay.
Curt: Okay.
jamie peacock: So we modeled the parts up. I threaded it. fuck, this doesn't look right. Look, oh, fuck Drew another body, drove the threading from that body in fusion, and managed to get samples made. Because there we've got to do 10,000 parts out of custom-extruded aluminum.
Curt: That's a lot. Yeah.
jamie peacock: Great fun.
Curt: That's a lot. yeah a lot
jamie peacock: The problem is the cycle time is going to be around a minute, a minute and a half. And we're only going to get like eight parts out of a bar. so you're going to be loading a bar every eight minutes, 10 minutes around there.
Curt: Oh.
Curt: Oh, yeah, it sounds like a pain in the ass job.
jamie peacock: And by you're going to be loading a bar, I mean, Carl's going to be loading a bar.
Curt: Right. Yeah, you're tired of loading bars.
jamie peacock: Yeah, so I think for that I'm to do bar pulling, not bar pushing, because we can run a slightly longer bar to get an extra part per bar, and we can also then re-load, which is going to make life much more pleasant.
Curt: OK, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah, because trying to front load anything over about 510mm doesn't fit in the enclosure to load, so um it's a little bit of a an annoying one.
Curt: Yeah, yeah.
Curt: Yeah, that's my...
jamie peacock: But yeah, we've been ah doing lots of fun.
Curt: I i say i get the the same super problem with the hard inches, like loading anything more than two feet.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: It's just like, I can load it from the back end, but it's ah it's a pusher, so that means I always have to disassemble the little pusher.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: or like I can go from the front, but then the turret's in the way, so you're like, this is tedious.
jamie peacock: Yeah. So i want one of the things i actually want to do is make a proper spindle liner for the good way. I never bothered making a nut that screws in the back of the spindle. I need Cole to basically draw that up, and then I'm going to just 3D print spindle liners.
jamie peacock: So just print them in sections, glue them together, and there we go.
Curt: ah Okay.
jamie peacock: We have spindle liners that are the right size, and we know the bar's not doing any droopy shit. It'll make it easy to feed bars through. um Yeah, that's on the on the to-do list, along with getting an A1 Mini. But yeah, that that has actually become very interesting locally.
jamie peacock: So...
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: We have a store called the 3D printing store. um They used to carry Anycubic, Creality, one or two other brands. They now carry bamboo.
Curt: Mm-hmm.
jamie peacock: And the bamboo agents are shitting bricks. They've dropped their price by like nearly 10% already. I can buy it from TakeLot, which is Amazon type thing, have it delivered tomorrow for 2,000 Rand less than it used to cost.
Curt: Oh, nice.
jamie peacock: Yeah, so A1 Mini is on the cards for this week that like I needed for printing a bunch of other like product stuff.
Curt: Nice.
jamie peacock: So, yeah, we're going to get one of those in a filament dryer for production printing in in the shop.
Curt: Cool.
jamie peacock: So, lots of fun fan shenanigans going on.
Curt: Nice.
Curt: Yeah, no doubt. it Sounds like a bunch of bunch of changes.
jamie peacock: no a Yeah, we also finally buttoning stuff. I think... Last time we spoke, I was still working. i was still trying to get towards getting the lights automated and stuff in the workshop.
jamie peacock: I'm still waiting on more cable because it turns out I need another 100 meters of cable to run power everywhere I want. um But we've got Home Assistant up now. We're putting a magnetic lock on the door so that if we if someone arrives, you can walk up to the door, hit the button around the corner and the door opens. You don't have to get a key and unlock it during the day.
Curt: Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: Or if it's someone we know, we can see them from our desks, hit the button on our keys and the door opens.
Curt: Yeah,
jamie peacock: Like it'll unlock for 15 seconds and then lock again. Like just small quality of life improvements.
Curt: yeah okay.
jamie peacock: I also framed up my office. I need to finish the office because Danica is going to be working from from there because she is not disciplined enough to work from here.
Curt: Fair.
jamie peacock: yeah no like yeah she can very successfully get fuck all done in a day so she's going to be working from from jspec which is kind of useful i'm like hey go check out this go check out that she just goes in down a rabbit hole and does research for me which is kind of useful yeah
Curt: nice. did you ah Did you put AstroTurf in your office?
jamie peacock: not yet she wants to fucking theme the office i'm like bitch it's an office it needs to hold your desk that is it like it doesn't need to be fancy themed bullshit just fucking place for desk
Curt: Okay.
Curt: yeah
jamie peacock: So I still need to go get the the boards to fray out to close up the walls this week. um But yeah, we'll get production running. And then I've got like 30, 40 minute walkaway times on the rings. So then I can actually spend the time while the machine's running to do stuff.
Curt: Nice. Nice.
jamie peacock: Yeah, like this week, I've had a lot of walkaway time from the machine. Because we got the spindle gripping running. Yeah. And yeah, I was told once I get it working, I'm going to want to spindle grip everything.
jamie peacock: That is a very true statement.
Curt: Yeah. yeah I would imagine, yeah.
jamie peacock: Well, when you've got a one minute cycle time, why the fuck would i want to load that by hand? So I got that working, ran the the op ones like a seven minute op that ran like for two days, then I changed over setups, it probably took me like an hour and a half to do that to get everything working out to add a bunch of features to my piece of software that generates code because now I want the ability to drop the part into the jaws before i clamp the jaws of the vase.
jamie peacock: Then i was loading with coolant running to blast all the chips out. But now on the third op, I needed to unload with coolant, but load without coolants because it was blowing the part out of the jaws.
Curt: Oh, okay.
jamie peacock: So like all these stupid little things that I had to add, but yeah, I mean, adding and adding change change logs and stuff so i know what I've added.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: um And then, yeah, this week i want to, well, this week I'm running rings. Then I need to set up to run flux. That's going to auto run with a vacuum gripper.
Curt: Oh, right, right, that you're going to bring for IMTS. Mm-hmm.
jamie peacock: Yeah, I'm going to bring, think I've got like 150 worth of knives. So I need to get that running this week and then we can have, we can have knives for IMTS.
Curt: Mm-hmm.
Curt: Nice.
jamie peacock: Yeah, I kind of wish had a flip station, but anyway, that's in the works.
Curt: was thinking about how going to bring, remember you sent me the post of how you're like, oh, we'll put it, we'll put it in the trunk that's included in your body. It's like, how are you smuggling all these knives into?
Curt: yeah I know how.
jamie peacock: Yeah. Yeah, prison wallets.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah, we bring them in as as key rings, so the the blades we pick up in in the US.
Curt: I figured, yeah, I figured you weren't going to put 150 up there, but hey, do what you got to do.
jamie peacock: Yeah. um But yeah, speaking of IMTS and of our Patreons, Danica is arranging care packages for the Patreons.
Curt: Ooh.
jamie peacock: We will be putting up a Google form. and let me actually add that to the notes because we're going to make Kurt do that.
Curt: Yep.
jamie peacock: um the reason being we're going to bring care packages to IMTS for the patrons that we're going to meet up with and then if you can't make it to IMTS fill out the form say I'm not going to make it to IMTS unfortunately and then we will get care package shipped to you so I think we'll send them to Kurt and Bulk and then have them forward them on for all the patrons yeah that way you don't miss out
Curt: Sick. Yeah, no, that works perfectly. I was, I actually spent a portion of my trip thinking about some silly Patreon hatreon stuff that I, cause I still have a ton of your little rulers here.
Curt: um So I can include those.
jamie peacock: Don't worry, i have 200 of them that are going into the laser in the next week.
Curt: Jesus.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: um Yeah. Anyways.
jamie peacock: So we're actually looking at getting little backpacks, little drawstring bags to give to the guys at IMTS. That way, if you don't have a bag, now you have a bag.
Curt: that's a cute idea. Yeah.
jamie peacock: And if ah if you have a bag, it's small enough, you can just shove it into your backpack. And it's at least something somewhat somewhat useful.
Curt: Sure. Yeah.
jamie peacock: um So yeah, Danica's busy looking into getting those printed.
Curt: Cool. Nice.
jamie peacock: Yeah, so fancy, fanciness.
Curt: Just have something heinous printed on them.
jamie peacock: I don't think so. I think she's got something not super heinous. But yes, we're looking at getting DarkHut stickers as well and a whole bunch of other stuff flew in the bag.
Curt: I know it makes sense. Hmm.
jamie peacock: Yeah, fun shenanigans.
Curt: Sick. Cool.
jamie peacock: Yeah, speaking of IMTS, we have a meetup at IMTS on Monday at 2 p.m. And I spoke to a certain other podcaster who will also be attending the meetup.
Curt: Nice.
jamie peacock: Yes, Dylan will be there on the Monday.
Curt: oh sick. Cool.
jamie peacock: Yes, he's also one of our Patreons.
Curt: Well, that's awesome.
jamie peacock: um But yeah, he'll be there. AJ and Jacob should also be there. it's going to be It's going to be fun.
Curt: Yeah, it's
jamie peacock: Unfortunately, um a couple of the guys are not going to make it because their schools are stupid. EJ is quite pissed that his school's not doing any training because that's how he gets time tests. It's considered a training event. Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah, their school's building a new building. So, sorry, no budget for training. And Alex is starting a new job, so he's not going to make it to IMTS, unfortunately.
Curt: affair no doubt yeah yeah it sounds like a ton of fun yeah
jamie peacock: Yeah, but for those who make it, it's going to be a blast. i no I'm quite excited. I think the meetup's going to be, yeah, and the meetup will be at the G28 booth, I believe it's in the West Hall, at 2 p.m. on the Monday, just to make sure everyone knows knows that.
jamie peacock: And then Tuesday 2 p.m.
Curt: that's cool
jamie peacock: at the Tormach booth, I believe, is the Taps and Patients meetup. And on Wednesday at the Kern booth is the Within Tolerance meetup, whilst the thing's also at 2 o'clock. So yeah, it's going to be a lot of meetups. Like, mom, that's why my plan for IMTS is go look at what i want to look at in the morning. And then from 2 p.m. onwards, it's just chaos.
Curt: Yeah, it's but that's the thing.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: is like We know enough people in the community now. like It almost gets hard to go to an event like this because it's full of friends, like internet friends that we've never met.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Well, that's it. Like, that's why i want to be very uh upfront of this is my plan on these days i want to go see these booths in the morning if you want to tag along tag along but i'm going there to look at stuff and then in the afternoon it's just yolo whatever looks cool go convince one of the machine tool vendors that i want to buy a machine so i can get free dinner
Curt: Sure.
Curt: Yeah.
Curt: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
jamie peacock: savage mode um yeah so what ah what abandoned mines did you go to
Curt: Oh, that's cool.
Curt: Excuse me. So, uh, I, when I, so my brain is fading. Um, I, my, my grandparents lived in this area way out in the middle of the sticks and it's just like coal mine, like central or like mining central. And for some reason, my brain has this like fixation on minds that is like unhealthy. Like I told my wife, I'm like, you'll never have to worry about me. Like, you know,
Curt: whatever going to the bar or like gambling i'm like but you will have to worry about me finding abandoned mines on like old forestry maps and then like getting lost in one and dying i'm like that's like and that's like a high risk for me because i'm so freaking addicted to mines i don't know why i just i yearn for the mine
jamie peacock: Oh.
Curt: So ah this one mine has a gang of them on it. And ah so I drug my wife and my little kids up this mountainside. um You can drive most of it, thankfully.
Curt: And then ah found it and on the on the little map. And it was the one I went to when was little. And so it's like, soon as i stand like soon as I stand in front of it, like, and it was hot as hell. So it's like 30 plus degrees. And then the the entrance to the mine is just like ice cold air just blowing out at you because it's from like the middle of the ground and The draw, like the the call to the void to just start like running down into the mine is just like huge for me.
Curt: And my wife's like, you have a problem.
jamie peacock: a
Curt: was like, I know, I know. So.
jamie peacock: well, Dadic was giving me shit last She was watching some general knowledge quiz thing on TikTok.
Curt: Mm
jamie peacock: And they were like, what kind of animal is a wabi gong?
Curt: hmm.
jamie peacock: And she was like, it's a snake.
Curt: OK.
jamie peacock: I'm like, nope. It's an Indonesian shark. She's like, the tism and sharks with you. Like, what the fuck?
Curt: Ha ha.
jamie peacock: ah Why the fuck do you know that?
Curt: Ha ha.
jamie peacock: I'm like, YouTube?
Curt: Ha ha.
jamie peacock: Like, yeah.
Curt: that's That's the problem.
jamie peacock: So, yeah.
Curt: is this like This whole area I went to and like the drive there is just like it's full of all my like triggers that just for the like the most fun thing. like
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: Mines, trains, ah like super old ghost towns, old graveyards. like i just I love that shit. like Exploration where people of like like some of the places I went, I'm like, I guarantee no one's been here for probably, I don't know, like decades. And some places I'm like, I guarantee no one's ever been here. Like, it's just, it's just such open countryside. There's like, there's, there's just so much space and nobody around. So yeah, it was, it was a trip. It was so much fun. But anyways, yeah.
Curt: Mines, they're, they're, they're addicting to me. I don't, I don't know why. Yeah.
jamie peacock: cool. I'll give you that. i was actually watching a Hell Heavy Duty video um yesterday, and they found the...
Curt: It's,
jamie peacock: owner of how heavy duties old work truck in a random field that a drilling crew out drilling in a field. And they found these two old like skeletons of vehicles. And one of them was the the granddad who started hell heavy duty, his old work truck.
Curt: Oh, wild.
jamie peacock: Like that was in an accident and then abandoned in the field and like the the drilling crew like randomly found this in the paddock they were drilling in.
Curt: That's cool.
Curt: That's wild.
jamie peacock: let's yeah It's wild. But yeah, like there's a lot of untouched nature in the world. yeah
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: than most of the freaking ocean. um
Curt: Oh, right.
jamie peacock: But yeah, the ocean is very not explored.
Curt: Yeah. Like,
Curt: I know this is like this is like country. like i would You just walk around and you'd be like, oh, there's like an old mine car. like There's just so much shit just in the forest.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: were like And it's not like people go there because, it's like I said, these are crazy small towns. And like you don't know to go to the...
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: like The only reason I know where half the shit is is because my grandpa took me up there when I was like tiny and was just like, oh, you want to come see something cool? I'm like, yeah, sure. and like I remember going up there with a one of the local guys that ran a sawmill.
Curt: Nice guy. Super woodsman looking dude. And ah he's like, he's like, this is why you don't walk around the forest, like in this area, if you don't know what you're doing. I was like, okay, well, let's go. And so he's like, he's okay, and stop right here.
Curt: He's like, and look forward. And it was the, it was the breather shaft to like, when they, when they cut a mine, they'll cut like,
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: piling straight down to let air in or whatever and the forest just grows over it so you like come to its edge of like this 10 foot by 10 foot square hole into the earth that just drops down like you know whatever 20 stories and it's all overgrown like one step and like you're plummeting to your death and it's just like oh it's like yeah he's like that's why most this area is shut down it's not because they don't want you there it's like because you fall down here you just you die like you don't you don't come back out and it's like whoa so cool
jamie peacock: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah, you're done. Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah, we went... So when we were down in Plets in December, we went for a hike with my brother to some caves. And the caves have got paintings of whale sharks. in the cave.
jamie peacock: The cave is a good seven or eight kilometers from the, from the beach.
Curt: Wild.
jamie peacock: So these guys obviously went out onto the point, saw these things, came back and drew it in their cave.
Curt: Whoa.
jamie peacock: This is on their farm, but like you drive around the farm roads and it's a timber farm and you're like, there's guys who walk here every 20 years to harvest. Otherwise nobody walks through these forests.
jamie peacock: Like the roads are maintained by his father-in-law, but they don't,
Curt: Right, yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: They don't go into the forests unless they have to. And like there's wilds, this area specific, this riverbed that we harked up. And it's like, there's ah there's a marker that someone drove into the ground.
jamie peacock: They calculated where the three farms joined somehow and drove a marker in there.
Curt: Yeah,
jamie peacock: It's like, that was done 30 or 40 years ago without GPS as the corner of the boundaries.
Curt: yeah. Yeah,
jamie peacock: Like, it's wild. Like people haven't been there. Like they go there once a year. And that's it. That's the only people that go there is once a year. so
Curt: yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: It's wild. Like, we went and caught fish in their little river because we wanted to know what flavor of fish they were. um And it's like, nobody's probably ever fished in that river.
Curt: Right. Like I, I love that stuff.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: I love it. It's so cool.
jamie peacock: Yeah, it's it's freaking cool. Yeah. That's really, really interesting. Like, yeah, going in the wild.
Curt: and know we were, ah
jamie peacock: Unfortunately, most of our time in fancy houses.
Curt: Yeah, no doubt. And like we were, we were walking in ah and a riverbed and we were, as as with my my little girls and we were just finding rocks and just like breaking rocks open on this giant riverbed.
Curt: And I was like, this rock that I just broke open is probably sat here for like, I don't know, 50,000 years. Like who knows how long it's been here? And I just cracked it open. It's like, huh, it's just bizarre to think of that kind of stuff.
jamie peacock: yeah no it is it's really it's really bizarre to think of these things like Yeah, I was even, we watching, Danica was watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel yesterday.
jamie peacock: And it's like, you think back, for okay, this whole show took place in like the 50s. And you look at the level of infrastructure in the in the cities and you're like, this is wild. Like to think these buildings have been around for that long.
Curt: Yeah, yeah, yeah, right?
jamie peacock: Like these skyscrapers. It's freaking wild when you think about when they were built and the level of technology that was available then. It's like, fucking all these folks were some seriously skilled people. Or even Alex Steele, looking at he's been playing with his 100-year-old Massey steam hammer.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: And the engineering that rents into that, it's freaking wild.
Curt: Yeah.
Curt: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
jamie peacock: And a lot of that shit has been ah forgotten. He's been doing the text-wrapped Damascus barrels. That's a gone. That art form is gone.
Curt: yeah Yeah, exactly.
jamie peacock: Like there's two people in the world who do it, him and another guy who did a paper on it. Otherwise, no one does it. There's no need to do it. So people just don't do it.
Curt: yeah Yeah, it's...
jamie peacock: good sell It's amazing how quickly we lose technology.
Curt: Yeah, and like even even like ah the way we build things, how it changes so wildly, like some of this like even just looking at this old machinery that's out there and stuff like that,
Curt: so many things built for just like done for like the fact that it looked nice. Like when you have big castings and you're like, why is this casting so ornate?
jamie peacock: Yes.
Curt: Like there's no reason to put all this, like all these filigrees and all this beautiful work into it.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: But it's like, oh, it was done in whatever the twenties and it's like, or the thirties. And it's like, it's so pretty and we don't do that anymore.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: And it's just, it's kind of, it's kind of a bummer.
jamie peacock: Yeah. No, now we make square block.
Curt: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, a square block that gets a job done.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: It's like, well, what about all the little, like, whatever-whatevers?
jamie peacock: They're pretty easier.
Curt: And, like, yeah. The pretties, yeah.
jamie peacock: yeah It's quite interesting how that, especially that kind of stuff, is just a it's gone. We cost what we need and use as little material as possible because we're trying to hit the price point.
jamie peacock: like That's something Rotary S&P regarding his Linux retrofits on his Maho.
Curt: Totally.
jamie peacock: He was like, yeah, any machine you buy nowadays is going to be built to a price, like any hobby machine is built to a price, whereas an old industrial machine is built to a rigidity standard.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: They were like, with this amount of load applied, it needs to reflect this amount, make it as strong as it needs to be.
Curt: Right, right.
Curt: Yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: Which is not really the way things are done anymore, because now everything is race to the bottom.
Curt: Yeah, I know. It's just like, I mean, I get it.
jamie peacock: Yeah, we live in interesting times.
Curt: I get what. Oh, yeah, no doubt. Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: I mean, we do. We have some incredible inventions out there, but it's just, yeah, some of it is some of it is not as fun as it was.
jamie peacock: Yeah, not as pretty as it used to be.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Um, yeah, you saw giant bells. I'm assuming they were cost.
Curt: Dude. So this was cool. Um, it's on another, it's, it's actually up the other side of the mountain range. And one thing, like I'm going up there with my, like my wife, my kids. And, uh, I'm like, I'm working on like 20 year old memories or like 25 year old memories. Cause I'm like, I only remember going up here like decades ago.
Curt: And I'm like, i have no idea.
jamie peacock: Yeah. Yeah.
Curt: So driving up forestry roads and It's this tiny town. You go up this forestry road, take a bunch of turns. It's like, i don't know, it's half an hour, 40 minutes on just this heinous little forestry road. And you come to this this person, put this humongous bell up on the on the top of a mountain.
Curt: And you can take this pipe. There's a pipe chained to it. And it's like, it's a memorial bell for like someone who passed away or whatnot.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: and you can wail on this bell and it's like, i don't know, it's gotta be a three, 400 pound bell. It's probably about maybe, I don't know, two feet around two, three feet tall.
jamie peacock: Jeez.
Curt: And you can honk on this bell and just echo through the entire valley.
jamie peacock: That's cool.
Curt: Um, So yeah, it's just, and like, you'd never know it was up there. Like no one, i mean, it's, it's a popular enough that like, if you ask a town, like they'll they'll tell you how to get there. Um, but just, I'm like, when was the last time someone wailed on this thing?
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: And just, i don't know, was fun. My little people were like, we want to tell them about it. And they're like, well, will people hear it at like, they're asking their if their friends would hear it. I'm like, well, it's, it's not that loud. We were like thousands of kilometers away from their friends.
jamie peacock: so
Curt: So was like, you can hit it as hard as you want, though.
jamie peacock: cute ah
Curt: I'll give you the pipe and you can hit it as hard as you want. So they're all jazzed until they like hit it lightly and realize how loud it could be. And then no one wanted to hit it after that. So i was like, oh, yeah, fair enough.
jamie peacock: that thing would be started for scrap metal in Africa
Curt: So.
Curt: Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I don't know. Like, that's the thing is it's hard enough to find that. I don't think anyone's going to. I don't know. People are respectful in that. Like, it's it's a little town.
jamie peacock: yeah
Curt: Like, you do something like that, like people are going to find you and they're going to.
jamie peacock: They're gonna beat you.
Curt: ah they're going to take care of you. Yeah. So it's just like,
jamie peacock: Yeah. ah Well, yeah. have the They stole our house numbers off the wall and our mailbox thing because it was brass.
Curt: Oh, I have a story about that.
jamie peacock: They literally pried the numbers off the fucking wall. It's, yeah. Wild. Africa. Yeah.
Curt: So I have a, my, it's actually my neighbor. um She has a big, like a big stone wall in front of her house. And it said the name of our, like,
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: little community on it in brass. I'm pretty sure it was just like, i don't think it was actual brass. It might've been brass. Um, anyways, someone stole it. So, uh, I think my wife or something called like developer was like, Hey, are you guys going like replace it? Or are you are like, what are you going to and they're like, well, actually they're like, that is on that, that sign is on private property. So that, that that neighbor owns it. I'm like, Oh really?
Curt: So I talked to my neighbor. I'm like, technically you own that sign. So I'm like, it's up to you to replace it. She's like, well I'm not going to replace it. I'm like, can I replace it? She's like, yeah, I don't care. So I have the ability to name my neighborhood, whatever the hell I want.
Curt: Um, So I've been thinking about it for a long time. I was like, I'm just going use some sign board and like CNC cut it and just name it something heinous um just to get a rise out of people more than anything.
Curt: So, yeah, dude, I was like, what can I name this place?
jamie peacock: worse than me, Kurt. Okay.
Curt: Like I can name ah the power it gives me. Like I'm like, and it's huge. It's not like, it's like a little plaque. Like this is like, I don't know. It takes up like half her yard. So it's like, it's a, it's bigger than a car, of the sign.
Curt: So like you could, you had some fun with it.
jamie peacock: Oh, fuck.
Curt: no I don't know what it's going to,
jamie peacock: Oh, jeez.
Curt: i don't know what it's going to be called yet. going be called something fun, though. I've been thinking on this for a while.
jamie peacock: I look forward to that. Yeah, know. You mentioned this before.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: I look forward to hearing what you call it. ah
Curt: I don't know. So much power.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: Anyway.
jamie peacock: So, I think I'm going to put a I'm going to get Dan to put a poll up for our Patreons.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: We're going to do the Google form, obviously, for IMTS. We're going to put up a poll on whether Jamie should cut his hair before IMTS.
Curt: Yep.
Curt: Mm-hmm.
jamie peacock: Um... And that's going to go out to all our Patreons who make the wheels on the train go round and round. Yeah, as a perk, you get to decide whether I'm going to be very frustrated at IMTS or I'm going look like a schoolchild.
jamie peacock: um Because, yeah, my hair is annoying me, but I'll be nice to the Patreons. It's ah mildly long. Not the longest it's ever been, but it gets there.
Curt: is getting it's getting a little It's getting a little crazy. now
jamie peacock: Yeah. But yeah, all of our Patreons at the $6 and above get access to the After Show every week where we talk shit for a few more minutes. um All the top tier Patreons, they get a shout out every week. And that list this week is Jade from Benchmark20, Luke from Fabtastic, AJ from Subtract Manufacturing,
jamie peacock: Jason S, EJ from Nocturnal Welding, Aussie Machinist, Christian Olson, Charles White, Kyle from Cursed Machine, Matt from Off-World Gear, Alex B, John from 2SM Performance and Engine Tricks, Matt from Modern Fuel, Josh from Leighton Machine, and Greg from Tabletop Machine Shop. And I didn't cough this time.
Curt: Nice.
jamie peacock: But yeah, thank you to all the patrons. You keep the wheels on the train chooching. um We actually have a ah message from Greg, which is super long and going make Kurt read it, but we'll get to that a bit later on.
jamie peacock: Um, yeah, Kurtz and on now now that I've read it, we can die. Um, but yeah, the, yeah, fancy Patreons help us ah keep the lights on.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Um,
Curt: I hope everyone votes to keep your to keep your hair long.
jamie peacock: yeah
Curt: that
jamie peacock: I'll wear a freaking pink fluffy Alice band. I have one somewhere, like a rainbow Alice band. I give zero fucks.
Curt: ah You look like Richard Simmons.
jamie peacock: Like, literally, that's what I was rocking.
jamie peacock: I was, last time i grew my hair out, i had a freaking ponytail. I think it was just before INTS last time that I cut my hair.
Curt: How nice.
jamie peacock: Yeah, I've had a haircut since then, but that's when I had it super long and annoying.
Curt: i get I get too frustrated. i start getting annoyed by it and then I just like go one day and get my hair cut.
jamie peacock: It's, it starts matting at the back, like, Danica put conditioner in glass heart and fucking dry it and all sorts of dumb shit. um
Curt: I like how Danica takes care of you.
jamie peacock: But yeah, it's way too much effort.
Curt: Like a little child. like Brushes your hair.
jamie peacock: I was zero fucking interested in looking after my hair.
Curt: Conditions it.
jamie peacock: I get out of shower, dry with towel.
Curt: and
jamie peacock: That's me done for the day.
jamie peacock: yeah If she wants me to be pretty, she needs to make me pretty.
Curt: Oh boy. Okay, fair enough.
jamie peacock: um Yeah. So, um ah okay, let's cover that.
Curt: Okay.
jamie peacock: i'm putting I'm putting a camera in my machine.
Curt: Okay. Why?
jamie peacock: So when it's running unattended, I can check on it.
Curt: o you got, oh, a tap. Okay. so I'll integrate with home assistant.
jamie peacock: Yeah, so home assistant, 2K camera.
Curt: h
jamie peacock: um
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: I just need to build an enclosure for it now because it's going to get fucking bukkake thick in my machine. So I'm going to build an enclosure for it and it's going to sit there that I can watch when I'm running unattended and make sure the machine is still alive.
Curt: Yeah.
Curt: Nice. Nice.
jamie peacock: Yeah, so fancy integrations.
Curt: It's going to like put it in a tube or something or.
jamie peacock: I was thinking, but the fucking tubes are expensive. Good God, because I need to buy a 100-diameter tube.
Curt: Oh yeah. That gets bendy.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: yeah
jamie peacock: so I was thinking of buying these. ah So this will get used somewhere if I don't put it in the machine. I want the ability to look around, though. I was looking at one of the small TAPO cameras, but I'm not sure what resolution they are.
Curt: Fair.
jamie peacock: So I'm not sure how good it's going to look in the machine. um But if I buy one of those, I have a big enough piece of acrylic tube already.
Curt: Oh, okay. Okay.
jamie peacock: So I may just... I mean, these ones are... 650 rams the shitty little ones are 500 bucks so i just bought the fancy one because why not yeah so i might just make a acrylic box out of like and a half mil acrylic that's got a curved front and then just like it looks like a path that i just magnets into the corner and that'll probably do the trick and i can do that on the laser with relative ease so yeah we'll we'll see that's a this week problem um
Curt: Sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Curt: Sure. Yeah. Yeah. yeah
Curt: Yeah. That makes sense.
jamie peacock: So I want to get that implemented this week and tied into Home Assistant and Frigate and all the fun stuff. um You also need to put an ESP home, dingle, booper, barma, door, so when you come in, you can hit the button and it enables Ironman mode.
Curt: Oh, nice. Okay, yeah.
jamie peacock: Because I've got the lights doing the whole sequence thing, and then it turns the compressor on for a minute before it opens the auto drain setup. So there's time to come to pressure.
Curt: Oh, yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah. But that's and then also in the evening, Ironman mode switches everything else off.
Curt: Smart, yeah.
Curt: Nice.
jamie peacock: So there's going to have to be some conditional stuff for if I'm running unattended at night that it leaves the compressors on until the LK switches off.
Curt: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, you don't.
jamie peacock: But not not super hard to implement because there's couple ifs and ands and this is the matters.
Curt: Yeah, the home assistant is such a freaking rabbit hole and slippery slope of what you can do.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: It's so fun. Yeah.
jamie peacock: It is. It's great. um Yeah, we we've got it somewhat running at the shop. Running enough. Like, I spent a day just working on the business, running all the Ethernet, running all the power, like, getting like all the infrastructure sorted out.
Curt: Hmm.
jamie peacock: Are you hearing noises as well now? Ghosts.
Curt: No, we had a fucking storm come through here like an hour ago that had like fist-sized hail in certain parts of my city.
jamie peacock: Ah.
Curt: Like it was heinous.
jamie peacock: Oh, fun.
Curt: So yeah, I just, I'm hearing like after effects of the storm.
jamie peacock: Okay. Okay.
Curt: Anyways, sorry to derail.
jamie peacock: Yeah, apparently my back door at the at the workshop needs an awning over it because the door leaks like a sieve.
Curt: Oh, nice.
jamie peacock: Yeah, so I need to, think I'm going to go awning bolts on. If I leave, I take awning with me. Fuck them. Fuck.
Curt: That'd be so petty. I like that. Yeah.
jamie peacock: My fucking awning, fuck you. Fuck. Yeah, ah my neighbor was like, listen, this door leaks like a sieve. Rainy season is coming. You best sort it out. Like, go speak to the landlord and say, you want an awning here?
jamie peacock: I'm like, fuck that. Let's put my awning and take it with me when I leave.
Curt: Yeah, fair. Might be faster.
jamie peacock: But yeah, we'll see. I got a document from them today, which looks like it was the inspection for when we moved in. I need to just read through it and see what's what's what. We got our first electricity bill for the new shop.
jamie peacock: It was until the 6th of June.
Curt: Okay.
jamie peacock: So it was for like a whopping four rand. So I don't actually know what my electricity bill is going to be yet.
Curt: Oh shit. Okay. I was gonna say I'm curious, but.
jamie peacock: Yeah, very annoying. Yeah, I'm very curious as well. We've got the Shelly thing is monitoring as well and logging our power usage through home assistance so that we can make sure it ties up with what they're saying we're using.
Curt: Yeah, fair. Right,
jamie peacock: But yeah, we're now using more power because we have another hydraulic power pack on the system.
Curt: right, right, drive right, right.
jamie peacock: Yeah, like it never ends. Also, the wiring on that specific power pack, was not standard. the So on the motor with the little 16 gases and you put the bridges this way or that way depending on your voltage.
Curt: Sure. Sure.
jamie peacock: So I looked it up, changed it over for what I thought was 380. It was not. um
Curt: Okay.
jamie peacock: So the motor got really hot really quickly. So then we changed it back over.
Curt: Oh, no.
jamie peacock: Yeah, like starting, like, I smell burning kind of hot.
Curt: oh Oh, no.
jamie peacock: um Yeah, change it over and now it's running fine. But yeah, it's like a really weird configuration. But yeah, Carl's hydraulic power pack is now running. um
Curt: Cool.
jamie peacock: It's, yeah, it's going to change everything. But yeah, so assume, okay, what is Hatman?
Curt: Sick.
jamie peacock: I'm kind of curious.
Curt: I just, that's just to remind me that the fucking hat man's going to come and visit me any hour here with all the drugs that are coursing through my system.
jamie peacock: Okay.
Curt: Um, yeah.
jamie peacock: ah Okay, fine. Did you die in a pyramid?
Curt: And, uh, dude. Okay. So that was just kind of a funny story. Um, is, is my daughter's birthday and she wanted to, with little people, it's like, it's kind of hard. Cause like, they're not old enough. Uh, just for context, she turned five.
Curt: So like, if you have a party, like the parents are going to want to stay, they're not just going to like drop their like four or five year olds off and be like, you deal with them.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: Um,
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: because they they don't trust you, which is good. um But if you you want to invite like a bunch of her little friends here, um which is like, okay, if you invite 10 of your friends, you also have like 10 adults and it just get so be a lot of people in house and gets annoying.
Curt: So ah we, we booked a little ah like an event for her. And so I, we have these pyramids here um that have like, they're just like, I don't know how you describe them.
Curt: they have like different ah climates in all them and they have plants.
jamie peacock: OK.
Curt: um I'm spacing on the word for it properly. So you go to like one, yeah, like greenhouse, but like one will be the debt terrarium kind dealio.
jamie peacock: Like a greenhouse or terrarium something, yeah. Yeah.
Curt: Yeah. So like want to be the desert and it'll have a bunch of desert plants. I want to be like more tropical, have tropical plants and like, they're they're kind of cool.
jamie peacock: OK.
Curt: Um, And she could book her little birthday there and they had a little private room. And it was nice. It's just today though. It's like, as I have like, I like from the fricking the plague that you gave to me through the microphones here.
Curt: Um, I woke up and I just had like a pretty solid fever. So I'm like, okay, I'm, I'm cooking. I'm like, but I'm like, we got to do this today. So like, that's right. I'll ply myself with some drugs and we'll go somewhere. I'm just like, and then my littlest one, she's two.
Curt: Uh, she doesn't want to walk. So I'm carrying her. I'm sweating bullets and It's like 30 degrees outside. I'm in the tropical pyramid. So I'm getting like cooked from the inside because my body's like all fevered and I'm getting cooked from the outside because it's humid and hot as fuck.
Curt: And I'm holding this little child walking around and I'm trying to take pictures of my other one and like trying to not be just a total deadbeat, even though I feel like I'm running on just nothing.
jamie peacock: Oh.
Curt: And anyways, was just, I was laughing today. Just, yeah, it's just, it's like the perfect.
jamie peacock: Yeah. Yeah.
Curt: So, so I think that set me back in my, in how I feel, but whatever, it doesn't matter. So yeah, it was fun.
jamie peacock: Oh, geez. Yeah, the doctors keep telling me not to exert myself, and then people keep asking me to do shit. It's very annoying.
Curt: Dude, it's like, it's so important to like, like the days I just sleep, oh, I feel so much better.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: And the days that I like, I'm like, I'll push it a little bit. It's like, idiot, what are you doing?
jamie peacock: Well, yesterday, yesterday morning, I was doing a bunch of CAD work. And then, because we took yesterday off, eventually at like two o'clock, I went down, sat down with Danica by the TV.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: I started dozing. I'm going to bed. went to bed. Woke up at like five o'clock.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Felt much better.
Curt: Yeah. Totally. Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah, makes a huge difference.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Then I was watching fun YouTube videos on making making and compressing CO2. from hyperspace pirate yeah like in that experience i love his videos um yeah and then watching uh roit's 4.0 uh he was extruding tube he built a new hotend that extrudes a tube of plastic and then putting air into it so you can vary the diameter like freaking interesting 40 minute video but very interesting
Curt: Oh, yeah. Nice.
Curt: oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Curt: Oh, that's cool.
Curt: Oh.
Curt: I've been watching, what is it? ah What's that? Is it physics doc? The guy that like, want to see something fucking cool?
jamie peacock: Yes. Chris Bowden.
Curt: Like that guy?
jamie peacock: Yeah, yeah.
Curt: Chris Bowden. Yeah, I've been watching a ton of his shit lately. I don't know why I just got, I do too.
jamie peacock: I love his stuff. It's great. I've been watching Cursed Controls a lot lately. Dude, that looks so good.
Curt: Oh, I love that guy too. yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah, so good.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: i can Yeah, when he's doing the electrical stuff on the turd pumps.
Curt: That's just like the voiceovers when he does like all the repairs on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we'll link these folks because these are good just to like get your brain away from all the stupid shit online and towards fun ones.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah. Let me actually add the... ah Cosex duck and cursed trolls.
Curt: Yeah. control
jamie peacock: Cool. Yeah, that is a super well topped.
Curt: I love his yeah i love his his YouTube, or not his YouTube, his Instagram.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: It's all the shorts.
jamie peacock: So I tend to watch them on shorts on YouTube.
Curt: and Yeah.
Curt: Yeah, yeah. Yep, yep, yep.
jamie peacock: These are my shorts feed there when I accidentally fall into shorts.
Curt: i like I like when people are like educated in their field and then like they make it funny too.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: It's like, oh, this is this is fun. yeah
jamie peacock: Yeah, that's great. That is really good. um I assume you were flying drones around on your vacation.
Curt: Dude, that's ah I haven't flown a little quad in, like I don't know, a year, two years maybe or something like that. It's been forever. um and i brought I knew there'd be a bunch of little people there, so...
Curt: um i brought I brought one set of like goggles for me, and then I brought a little beater set that I could just leave on the ground because I know a little people are going want to look through them.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: um And that was a great idea. And I flew a bunch of packs. i just I forget that I have other hobbies that are also enjoyable. And yeah, it was it was lovely to like not have to do anything.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: and just yeah i'd like There was days where i just like I went down to the river, and I was like flying a little drone up and down the river. was a good time. And like...
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: and
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: And that leads into like, oh especially where I was, it was just super, super, super middle of nowhere. So I did ah did a bunch of astrophotography too. Cause I got lucky and had a few clear nights where there was no moon and then there was no smoke either.
Curt: So I got tons of shots of like the Milky way and a bunch of galaxies. And like I don't know, just like dumb stuff that I forget that I really like to do and that I never do because we just work and then go to bed and kind of forget like, Oh yeah, there's fun things to do.
jamie peacock: yeah
jamie peacock: yeah there's other stuff yeah well that's uh one of the one of the mildly annoying things now with when imts is in the year is it's right around the bass spawn so i actually want to be fishing when i'm at imts but it's fine when i get back i will i've missed the spawn seven years in a row i've always been busy in september and missed the bass spawn
Curt: yeah Like you,
Curt: Oh shit. Yeah.
Curt: Oh, okay. Well, so you're going to miss it again.
jamie peacock: And now I have a boat and a battery and like everything.
Curt: Big deal. yeah
jamie peacock: I need to pull the boat into the garage at some point, do a bit of work on it. So come so do September, end of September, when I get back, fuck that, I'm fishing. a
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Go fish in the morning, come to work late, its fuck that, I don't care.
Curt: Totally. Yeah.
jamie peacock: That's the whole point of working for myself.
Curt: Yeah, well, and mean me and my wife kind of, we both kind of had the same epiphany on this little trip where like, we need to do something like every year. Because she gets, she's a super career orientated person. She's like, she's doing fantastic.
Curt: But she gets locked into what she likes to do. And then i get locked in what I like to do. And we kind of forget about like just cruising. And we've had little, like we had our little girls for a while. And like when they're super tiny, it's kind of annoying to go on.
Curt: I mean, you can. Like tons of people take newborns on airplanes and shit like that.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: But just didn't feel like something we wanted to do.
jamie peacock: Yeah. You didn't want to be those dickheads.
Curt: But now, like, I didn't want and like, ah yeah, like, will they enjoy it I don't know.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: But like now they're old enough that it's like, it's fun. It's fun watching them interact with everything.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: So it's like, it's like we got to do more of this shit because that's kind of what matters. So yeah, it's fun.
jamie peacock: No, 100%. Who was I chatting to the other day? was chatting to John, and I was like in 2024, for the first six months of the year, because we were doing pretty well then. We had customers were constant orders.
jamie peacock: um
Curt: Yep.
jamie peacock: We went away at least one weekend every month for six months. like We were away, like and not just oh just down the road. like We went away. We traveled quite a bit, and then that customer became useless and put a bit of strain on us. So we stopped doing that.
jamie peacock: But ah yeah, that's the whole point of this pivot now to to having a lazy little bitch that we can keep cash flow while doing r and d and other work.
Curt: Yeah, exactly. And.
jamie peacock: It's important to enjoy life while you are able. Otherwise, you end up as that old person holding up traffic in the fancy places.
Curt: Yeah, that's the thing, right?
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: Like everyone just says they'll travel when they're old, when they're like unable to or not as willing to like do it now.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: if I mean, that's such an entitled thing to say because some people obviously can't.
jamie peacock: It is, but yeah.
Curt: But like you can still do little shit like we all forget. Like like we're not going do huge stuff, but every year we're going to do something because we always used to me and my wife.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: And then we kind of stopped. And now we're it's like, well, let's we have like I'm sure it's like with your country, too. There's tons of shit to see within just a few hours that you've probably never seen.
jamie peacock: Yeah. Oh, dude. Yeah. Within an hour's drive, I can go sit on the Vol River in a freaking house for the weekend and just sit cheesy and it's not super expensive either.
Curt: Totally. Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: Totally. Yeah.
jamie peacock: Yeah. Like even just within an hour's drive from us, there's a million things to do. I just don't like dealing with people, so I don't do them.
Curt: Yeah.
Curt: Yeah, no, I get that too. So yeah.
jamie peacock: Peopling sucks. um
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: But yeah, anyway. Okay, so I think the time has come.
Curt: So i was going to, I don't want to lead into them.
jamie peacock: Dun, dun, dun.
Curt: i was going let you lead in them. So
jamie peacock: So there is a website. There will be a link, which is the nimblegripper.com. Well, nimblegripper.com. We are releasing a product, which is a single acting cylinder used for robotics applications.
jamie peacock: um Yeah, check it out, nimblegripper.com. There will be a sign up for if you're interested. There will be a few units available in the beginning as a first batch, and then the rest will be available as a pre-order.
jamie peacock: We also have some other stuff, namely the handy semen, which is the adapter set. that will allow you to put it into your CNC machine. um Again, there'll be a sign up.
jamie peacock: There'll be a limited number available for the beginning, but yeah, go check it out and... If you're interested, hit us up. Otherwise, hit me up with a DM and we can chat to about applications.
jamie peacock: happy to Happy to assist with getting you up and running. And yeah, there's a bunch of stuff in the pipeline right now regarding um spindle gripping. So keep an eye out for that.
jamie peacock: Yeah, a few weeks out. of while I'm waiting on some circuit boards and things. But yeah, check out nimblegripper.com to start off. And then, yeah, the coming weeks are going to be quite exciting.
Curt: I think the Handy Semen is probably my favorite product name so far.
jamie peacock: ah
jamie peacock: ah Yes, it had another name, but I'm like, fuck that, I'm calling it that. Yeah, it's a whole, it's basically a whole family of adapters. So we do a very, very short coupled BT30 adapter, and then we do a side lock adapter for guys with cats or BT or whatever, bigger holders.
Curt: You're right, right, right.
jamie peacock: um Yeah, but there will be more information coming on that, and there'll be more information available at... either nauticalworkholding or nimblegripper.com. So, yeah, it's ah it's quite exciting.
Curt: Nice.
jamie peacock: I've been running one in my machine for the last week, and, being yeah, it's freaking wicked. there'll be some videos ah There'll be some videos up probably when this comes out.
jamie peacock: There will be videos being posted of a of gripping and ungripping and all those fun shenanigans.
Curt: Nice.
Curt: Sick.
jamie peacock: Sorry, I'm busy being ring-dashed because my wife's WhatsApp is logged in on this computer.
Curt: Cool.
jamie peacock: It's lovely. Anyway, what is in your Google box?
Curt: No.
jamie peacock: yeah
Curt: I started actually typing it out when we had...
jamie peacock: Oh, wait, hang on. Before we get to Google box, we forgot to answer the question.
Curt: Oh, shit, yeah.
jamie peacock: Yes.
Curt: Okay. ah I will...
jamie peacock: um From Greg on Patreon. um
Curt: and Okay.
jamie peacock: Go away, tab. Leave, for fuck's sakes. I'm tired of having ringing in my ear. um He feels like he's going to miss the coughing. Don't worry, Kurt's picking up the slack.
Curt: Yeah, fuck. um Do you want me just to paraphrase the giant question?
jamie peacock: Yeah, sure, you can paraphrase it.
Curt: So, okay, so basically he was talking about, um heard about my titanium anodizing woes and ah was mentioning about Cerakote, basically saying like it's super, super robust and whatnot. I've played Cerakote. I actually have used clear Cerakote on a bunch of brass stuff I used to do back in the day because I wanted to clear coat it essentially um and then protect it. And I can say with certainty that it is, it lives up to a lot of its hype. It's good shit.
Curt: um it's kind of tedious to it's not tedious to work with it's just like like it's anything it's like any kind of like two-part paint where like you're mixing it and you spray it and you clean it and then uh you got to bake it um but if you follow all the procedure properly it's fantastic i have i think a couple people have bought some of my like old like had a subnautic finish
jamie peacock: Thank
Curt: I did on some of the brass pens and they sent me pictures after like five years of use. And it's like flawless. Like it looks like the day I made it. So I'm like, Ooh, this shit's pretty good. Um, so yeah, Cerakote is, is the bomb.
Curt: I just, I don't really want to do painting, but if I was going to do anything, Cerakote would be the one cause it, yeah, it's, it's good shit. It's spendy, um, but it's good.
Curt: And there's like a hundred thousand colors. So it's good stuff.
jamie peacock: I know AJ from Odacity Macro used to do Cerakotes on the trays he was making, I think. And yeah, he had his old, like he was sharing a lot about it back then.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: um But yeah, like you've got to pre-bake the pot to off-gas any shit that's left on it after cleaning and then apply the paint hot and then bake it again. Like it was a whole a whole thing. but ah yeah, I know a lot of guys use it in firearms and it yeah it's really good.
jamie peacock: It's a really good coating.
Curt: Yeah, and you can use it. Like I did the i did the curing because I found out on when I was doing it on this brass product, if I cured it at like the metal curing temperature for the Cerakote, it would fuck up and look all weird. like It would make it look dumb for some reason. The heat was too high.
Curt: But you can also cure Cerakote at a lower temperature. Like people that want to do it on wood or like a combustible, you can't cure it at a high temp. So I went to a wood curing temperature, which is way lower temperature. I think it's like 100 degrees Celsius or 90 degrees Celsius or something like that, but just for longer.
Curt: And that worked out perfectly. And I did that for a while. um Yeah, I like it. I will play with it more. um For sure. It's it's fun. Especially some guys out there are just wizards when it comes to what they can do with it. Like, they do masking and paint fills and, like, just really pretty work.
jamie peacock: Yeah, other but I mean, that's even with anodizing. Some of the stuff you see on the anode groups on Facebook is just freaking wild.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: Like the multicolors and all sorts of fanciness. I'm like, yeah, no, one color. Let's be easy mode.
Curt: Yeah, I know. i i
jamie peacock: Like...
Curt: Yeah, it's...
jamie peacock: Minimum effort. But yeah... it is a It is really cool process. Getting it here is a bit of a shit show. I think we can get Juroko here relatively easily. I did look into it for the mag bases because the anodizers were useless and I didn't want anodize.
jamie peacock: But yeah, I've got material arriving for 120 mag bases this week that I'm going to machine, send for anode, and then finish machine the threads afterwards in an attempt to get good blue or consistent blue, red, and black.
Curt: Okay.
Curt: Cool, cool, cool.
jamie peacock: And then, yeah, we'll we'll see how that goes. I'm not really holding my breath because it's anodizers and they are my least favorite, to put it politely.
Curt: Nice.
Curt: Yeah. Yeah.
jamie peacock: um But yeah, we'll we'll see what what comes of that.
Curt: Cool.
jamie peacock: I've got a bunch going don't know.
Curt: So.
jamie peacock: Yeah, you know back to Google boxes.
Curt: but Yeah, you want to do your Google?
jamie peacock: Yes, thank you, Greg, for the for the comment for the message there.
Curt: Yeah, I appreciate it. And yeah, I hope you mess with it. Because it's it's fun. It's fun to mess with. And you don't need a ton of good shit. I use like a little hobby um airbrush to do it. And yeah, you can you can get by with pretty cheap setups to play with it.
jamie peacock: Mm-hmm.
jamie peacock: Yeah, i assume he's wanting to do his little vase that he's making. His old little vase thing, which looks pretty freaking sweet.
Curt: Yeah. h
jamie peacock: um Anyway, my Google box is full of interesting things, like cornhub.website. Greatest website ever made. um
Curt: It's pretty sick.
jamie peacock: and Looking at A1 minis from various suppliers, acrylic tubes from a camera, C210 cameras for my acrylic tubes. um Looking for a bandsaw in-feed table, because we're going to need to reliably feed in 7-meter lengths.
jamie peacock: Yeah. and then looking at monitors because Danica wants a monitor for at the workshop so your screen second hand refurbs and whatnot probably going to get another 27 inch monitor because 24s are for the plebs
Curt: Nice.
Curt: good should Nice.
jamie peacock: and like I sit at this monitor and i'm like this thing's tiny I'm used to my 27 at work yeah like it's a 1440p I'm used to that resolution now now there's 1080p everything looks giant
Curt: Oh, yeah?
Curt: Yeah, it's it's funny how that how quickly you adapt to that.
jamie peacock: Yeah, it's rather quick.
Curt: Yeah.
jamie peacock: What is in your Google box?
Curt: Sweet. ah Mine is full of a ton of really not interesting stuff, but the more interesting stuff is ah ah Dude Girls. they're like a it's I follow them on Instagram.
Curt: there's It's kind of a weird art thing. I dig it. ah Foxier Box 2, because I have one of those old cameras on my drone, and I...
jamie peacock: Yes.
Curt: could not remember how to like interface with it or, and I'm like, so I had to like download a legacy app to try to, anyways, it, I just ended up using how I had it.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: But i was like, this is so funny how like this tech just like falls off the face of the earth. If you know, um And then ah kind of on the same vein as dude girl stuff, I was looking at ah ah my my wife's a redhead, so I always i always laugh at the amount of like redheads that are pictured in like, like back when I was like heavy metal, I liked Heavy Metal Magazine and like ah all the artwork from that. But ah Frank Frazetta was like really like,
Curt: around that stuff so anyways i like his artwork is like pin-up girl kind of stuff so i was i was showing my wife but a bunch of it because it's like crazy like it's like this you see like spray painted on like the creeper vans like with the like unicorns and like some like crazy maiden like throwing a spear or something my out like some of that would be like frank present us of style art so oh and i also came across uh an open source uh i'm pull it up right now ah Open source vacuum ah that avoids the cloud. It's just like that someone made it
Curt: It's the OOMWOO robotic vacuum cleaner. It's completely open source, all like 3D printed. and it does like everything a Roomba does without like selling all your internal data to like some creepy company.
jamie peacock: Your data, yeah.
Curt: So yeah, I don't know. ah I don't do I need a robot vacuum?
jamie peacock: Nice.
Curt: No. Do I want to build one? Kind of. So yeah.
jamie peacock: Well, obviously. Like, who doesn't?
Curt: Yeah, no doubt, right?
jamie peacock: um So I'm looking i'm looking for a camera for IMTS.
Curt: Oh, okay. I have some suggestions.
jamie peacock: Um, yeah, I want to film some stuff there, but I've just, yeah, trying to find a, yeah, I have, I have thoughts. i think we'll save that for the after show. Um, yeah, camera, camera, nerds, nerd out.
Curt: Deal.
jamie peacock: There we go.
Curt: Oh, I've been um been nerding how hard on on that for like last few months.
jamie peacock: Um,
Curt: So, anyway.
jamie peacock: yeah, I want, I need something that takes decent footage in the machine as well, because ah had like a shitty action camera. It's basically a potato with a lens.
Curt: Yeah, yeah.
jamie peacock: Like, it is hot garbage. So I something that's got a little bit better low light performance. I don't want to break the bank, but I am getting to the point where I'm going to be willing to break said bank.
Curt: Fair, fair. fair
jamie peacock: Yeah, because my lighting in the machine is not horrid, just I need a camera that isn't shit.
Curt: Yeah, that's get spendy fast.
jamie peacock: I'm actually half tempted to just see if my old cell phone fits in an acrylic tube for filming in the machine.
Curt: Huh. Yeah, cell phones are wildly good compared what the cameras are.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: Yeah, they're crazy. I'm losing my fucking mind here, so...
jamie peacock: Like I really... Yeah. Oh, shoot. Well... Oh my god. Where can people find you and your things? Nice.
Curt: ah You can find my lack of anything right now at confoundedmachine.com. I'll actually probably start working production next week. ah So I should have and a bunch more pens going out. And ah yeah, don't know.
jamie peacock: Nice.
Curt: We'll talk about more of that next week. How about you? Where can people find your wares and things?
jamie peacock: ah You can find the day-to-day happenings at jspeceng on Instagram. You can find the NibbleGrupper at nibblegrupper.com.
jamie peacock: You can find the workholding stuff at nauticalworkholding.com or at tapsandpatients.com. And you can find links to everything at jspeceng.com.
Curt: Okay.
Curt: yeah Do you want to hear do you want to hear that the AI summary of tapsandpatients.com?
jamie peacock: ah
jamie peacock: Yes.
Curt: Okay, so the AI summary of tapsandpatients.com serves as the official hub for nautical workholding and a podcast focusing on smallop small shop CNC machining hosted by AJ and Harrison.
jamie peacock: Lovely. That is great.
Curt: That's awesome.
jamie peacock: um yeah nearly died when ah I was listening to the episode this week and they did their Patreon read.
Curt: Oh, I haven't heard it yet, so don't spoil it.
jamie peacock: know, they do their Patreon read as magical.
Curt: Okay, sick. Cool.
jamie peacock: Yeah, I won't spoil it then. It was freaking great. What are you up to tomorrow?
Curt: Awesome. ah Tomorrow, I think I'm to hibernate. i think I'm just going to sleep all day and do sweet, sweet nothing.
jamie peacock: Nice.
Curt: Just to try to feel better for the coming week so I can actually get something fucking done.
jamie peacock: Sounds like a solid plan.
jamie peacock: Yeah.
Curt: How about you?
jamie peacock: Very nice.
Curt: What you up to?
jamie peacock: I'm going go to work and set up to run those rings. um
Curt: nice
jamie peacock: I'll make ah make a bar puller then set up to run the rings. i don't know if I'm actually going to run them today. i might start running them, or I might come home and then just start fresh tomorrow. um But all the material is now in the workshop, so I have fewer excuses to...
Curt: Nice.
jamie peacock: to carry on, yeah. But anyway, that that is the plan.
Curt: Cool.
jamie peacock: But yeah, anyway, thank you everybody for listening. Patrons, we'll see you in the off show where talking about camera things.
Curt: Whee.
jamie peacock: Yeah. Yeah, have a good one.
Curt: Take care all.
