What I do at work Thread

[Holland]

I surf R3v and reddit on my phone. I've gotten quite good at it.

This is my job.

[Tamataz]

I'm a full time student, as a hobby and passion I'm in the Medical Marijuana field. I manage, consult, and construct grow rooms for qualifying patients in addition to managing my own endeavor. All finished products go directly to dispensaries in exchange for a reasonable donation to cover electricity bills, hardware, operating expenditures, and of course a reasonable wage for my time invested.

Yesterday/Yesterday evening consisted of putting my chemistry background to use, creating a full melt bubble hash concentrate using my indoor "Blackberry Kush" as it's foundation. I'm expecting results above 60% THC content when I get the test back. Tomorrow I'm working on BHO Oil I'm hoping will break 70%.

For reference, these are common THC averages:
[Mid grade: 7-15%. Top shelf: 20%+]

My Blackberry Kush tested 21.36% THC, 0.34% CBD, and 0.49% CBN at Steep Hill Labs this last harvest.

Quality > Quantity

...Yes I love my job...

Jelly jelly jelly!!!!!!

28K job on gl550, hit so hard in the doors it buckled the roof, had to replace the inner rockerand door post(outer skin isnt on yet in the pictures) all the holes are ones I had to drill after setting the side up to the jigs and prepping it for rivits and glue(new practice for benz) so much better than welding in terms or strength and corrosion protection



this is what holds the interior in

I was in the middle of pulling the dash on a 2009 eclass that had a tree fall on it, repaired the roof and still had the new windsheild to put in but had to pull the dash to get the heater box apart and get all the broken glass out of it

I work on these things

[PNWDan]

I manage and run 6 Horizontal CNC mills on 2 cells. Been a machinist for 15+ years.

This part starts out at 225lbs and ends up around 10lbs.
20000 RPM spindle on that machine as well

Are the actuators single acting spring return? That would be a good idea, if not, look into pilot operated checks on the actuator ports.

The cylinders are double acting.

Update: we hooked up the air and the brakes lock quite well. We tested them by releasing the air pressure without retracting the cylinders. The brakes did not release much. Obviously the rotisserie could be forcefully moved with no air pressure but it took a bit of doing. The customer was pleased to see this.

I am an engineer, currently in a management development program with a very large international aerospace/industrial manufacturing company. Right now I'm in Massachusetts, working at an ASME landmark, where the largest forged components of passenger jets, fighter jets (including the F35 program), helicopters, and other industrial behemoths are born in one of the world's heaviest closed-die presses (55,000-ton max though it's known as the 50K).

I don't like being part of the miliary-industrial complex but can't deny the awesomeness.

[mikeedler]

I'm a tech at a smaller dealership over here in Germany. Have to fix broken BMWs and Minis.........


Wish I paid more attention in H.S.!

[Nick_S]

I work at a BMX distribution company called Greenhouse. I'm the warehouse manager here so I take care of all the shipping and receiving as well as inventory control. Also I do all the wheel building for the Cinema Wheel co. team dudes and occasionally do some product testing since I still ride all the time. Also I sit at my desk and check R3V occasionally....like right now.

[QUOTE=mechdonald;3431581]I am a tool and machine designer at a machine shop. We don't get into automation - just mechanical stuff.
We are just finishing up a rotisserie for the R&D center at a frame manufacturer.
Features:
1) Adjustable length for different frames. Driven by a hex drive acme screw.
2) Rotation centered on CofG of frame. Adjustable either way if I got it a bit out :)
3) Held in position by pneumatic cylinder activated disc brake.

Pics of build and the Inventor CAD model. I simplified the CAD model of the frame as I am only interested in the ends where I am grabbing it. That's why you don't see the whole thing.

Are the actuators single acting spring return? That would be a good idea, if not, look into pilot operated checks on the actuator ports.
