Morning Rick. Are you used to the new job yet?

Staying away from the deer population I hope.

What the heck is a torch table?

I guess in my brain a torch is a open flame. I know some countries call a flashlight a torch. Is this a light table?

Good luck with your redesign.

A 12x20 steel table with a gas axe. Used to cut scrap titanium from 1200lb chunks into 75lb chunks. Very messy.

Not something you want in your living room then.

Man a 1,200 lb chunk of titanium must be HUGE and very expensive. I guess that table collects every piece of titanium down to the shavings.

I always wanted to have a CNC titanium engine block. Just because no one else has one. Maybe someday when I make my first billion.

In 1985 cosworth had a mostly plastic block motor they raced in the camel gt series. weight was 1/4 of a cast iron block engine the same design. Nothing public about plastic motors has been published in 2 decades. Must have taken some EPA banned chemicals to make the plastic for them. Or maybe way too easier to use aluminum.

so that salb get placed on the table. That is acutally the end cut or scrap from a large plate. they use the gas axe to cut it up into much smaller chuncks to eliminate inclusions and cracks. those are then fed back into the system for re-melt.

Date canceled on me. That was the first night in Frankfurt. Fräulein at the cafe earlier seemed to have liked me or so says my cousin. I have a pic of her.

I took pix of every Porsche at the museum, except the new ones. I have a few rare pix as well, ones that most won't get to see. right place, right time.
