Nice modern beach houses there Hennie - probably only used for a month in a year?

[Gerald D]

Lekkers is our direct translation of sweets. Lekker is also the translation of nice.

[hennie]

Gerald about 3 weeks a year, owners stay in England and that only during December.There are 6 bathrooms all ensuite with all the bells and whistles.The ceasar stone for the kitchen and scullery cost more than all the board material that I used in the house.Wish I could be paid in pounds:)

Baie mooi Hennie!
I see that you colouring skills are also not to bad.:D

[hennie]

Ja iemand het eens op `n tyd vir my gevra of ek nie kleurblind is nie( iets te doen met drade van `n motor ):D

[Lex]

he he he :o

[javeria]

here you folks go again - jokes are meant to be shared - ;)

serious talk can be in any language :D

[hennie]

Ja ok, someone said to me some time ago that i might be colour blind and it started when i was doing the wiring of the motors for my MM.(don`t want to mention any names ):)now that Gerald is back.

[Lex]

he he he :D

[javeria]

colour blind!!!! :D got it got it!

[Gerald D]

Does this (http://www.mechmate.com/forums/showthread.php?p=15351#post15351) look familiar? . . . .

Are you sure you aren't a bit colour blind? :confused: Get a second opinion from the boss :)

Do you know anyone else using these motors?

[hennie]

This made my day:D

[hennie]

I was bored the other day so thought I would see if my MM can write so this is what came out of it. It took 9 minutes with the speed set at 25 mm per second.I had it at 60 mm per second wich rocked the whole machine actually gave me a fright but the rep that was standing next to me thought it was something else.He could not beleive it ( one of those who didn`t believe me when I was putting all the chunks of steel together.)

[Gerald D]

Cutting text like that sure shakes the MM around, and then you wonder if you shouldn't have built it even heavier!

[hennie]

Next time I will reduce the cutting speed even more.

[Gerald D]

Nah, we cut that sort of sign at 40mm/sec, with the machine shaking quite a bit, but the sign quality doesn't suffer.

[kaartman]

Hennie that sign came out nice, ja its lekker to see how the MM dance about, and even nice to see the faces of those you just said ja-right build a what?

[Kobus_Joubert]

I don't like my BBB to shake as well. For me that don't have to worry about production etc. I also prefer to slow down....give me more time to watch it performing it's magic....it's nearly as interesting as doing B&W photo developing...when that image appears it's MAGIC. Lekker speel Hennie.

[Gerald D]

A note for Johan; I think that is the "yellow" mdf that Hennie used there.

[Lex]

Very proffesional Hennie! There might be hope for me after all.:)

[hennie]

No, Gerald its the local stuff from PG 18 mm

[Lex]

Are you sure Hennie? It does look yellow.:D
I phone the PG rep. and all! He told me that they do not deal with bad quility mdf (the yellow imported one). Tells me the yellow one is made from rubber tree shavings, imported from China! Can you believe that.:confused:
I told him what he was talking. He did not understand that as well.;)

[hennie]

I am not colour blind it is brown !:) BTW we had some mdf the other day that came from them I wish that rep was next to me could have proved him wrong.
