ripping off [BrauBeaton] and disposable rocks. Flat bottomed bin stays on its flat base. No magic, bad sience, pun,...... oh is this turning into a list...?

Because it has no content/s. |
|
| |
so a full trashcan is preferred? |
|
| |
I think something has been lost in translation... |
|
| |
Thanks [skinflaps] it's now a trashcan. |
|
| |
Whatever I'm missing must be fantabulous, because this idea really seams like a wet towel. |
|
| |
I think it's a reference to Johansson blocks. They are engineering measuring aids that are so frickin' flat that "the ultra-smooth surfaces in this manner permits molecular attraction to occur between the blocks, and forms a very strong bond . .." |
|
| |
"Jo blocks" ? Also known as gage blocks? |
|
| |
An "engineering measuring aid" ? |
|
| |
I want to come work where you work. No engineer I've ever met has so much as touched a gage block. |
|
| |
They're inspection tools in my world. |
|
| |
Thanks for explaining the reference, it went right by me. |
|
| |
I've never seen one either. I guess they are actually used as precise standards, which probably relates to inspection, yes. |
|
| |
I've spent many an hour using them to construct precise reference sets, then either confirming a part made good or making a vendor cry. |
|
| |
It'll be painted Scarlett, of course. |
|
| |
gauge blocks are actually one of the few items with which one can clearly demonstrate the effect of Vanderwahl's forces.(the same force that keeps Geckos on walls) |
|
| |
[lostdog], great minds think alike. |
|
| |
Now all you need is a light film of oil and a precision ground and lapped Johansson driveway to wring the trashcan to. [+] |
