I don't dislike the CRTs in of themselves that much. I dislike the two-class series that has been created - with CRTs showing up on parc ferme FFS.

I'm with you on that one - either they are GP racers or they are just GTs with multiple classes racing at the same time.

You total geek!

Why can't you make my CNC machine work? All I want to do is cut concrete, how hard can that be? I leave you in charge and come back to find you are mkaing bedroom cabinets for your missus!

And very nice they are too. You will have to talk to that bloke in KL about concrete - your machines can't do it.

Nice to be back... when are you going away again?

He's talking ...... We've made a DIY router to cut plywood, do v-carving, that sort of thing, but now ........ says that there's money in concrete-topped garden furniture and he wants to v-carve cast concrete tabel tops.

I don't know what he thinks I do in my spare time, but casting concrete tabletops isn't it. I have enough trouble keeping up with the ply work.

We could do with anouther 4x8 router table. That would give me something to play with, while the 'production' machine is busy cutting up firniture and boats.

The next one we make will be made from alloy/steel. One of the other blokes in our compound is a top welder and I can cut reasonably thick sheet with a change of bit. Before then we could do with a better spindle. The one we have is good enough for ply, but there's too much slop for cutting alloy or steel.

I've got a few years CNC - started off with laser cutters in the printing industry, made my first DIY CNC router a couple of years ago from cheap Chinese bits. Learned that was wrong

The new one has much bigger steppers and drivers (US made) and it's like a dream compared to the first one. But like anything mechanical, you always want more. I am slowly working towards the 'perfect' linear bearing and drive system. Don't want to use screws - too much lash. But there is bugger all available locally. Everything has to be shipped in from Oz and htat is $$$. We've paid off the first machine and made a bit of cash. The next one will cost a bit more, though, probably around US$8k-12k.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;Now, you have to generate a controller which will handle your AustinGP request.

C:\myruby\AustinGP>rails generate controller welcome

create app/controllers/welcome_controller.rb

invoke erb

create app/views/welcome

invoke test_unit

create test/functional/welcome_controller_test.rb

invoke helper

create app/helpers/welcome_helper.rb

invoke test_unit

create test/unit/helpers/welcome_helper_test.rb

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;Now, the controller file is named as welcome_controller.rb after the name we provided to the controller. Now, if you open this controller file, you will find the following piece of code

class WelcomeController < ApplicationController

end

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;Now, you have to make this controller to respond to a request of "It makes economic sense to go to the AustinGP ". To do this, edit the welcome.controller.rb file to define an action.

class WelcomeController < ApplicationController

def austingp

@message = '<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;It makes economic sense to go to the AustinGP'

end

end

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;text-align:justify;In the controller file, we had an action named "austingp". So, inside the app/views/welcome folder, we will create a file called austingp.html.erb which will be used as a template to respond to the action of "austingp". Rails automatically renders the file, when it is named in this fashion. ERb is Embedded Ruby output tags. Create a file with the name austingp.html.erb and put the contents as shown below:

<html>

<body>

Message!

<h3><%= @message %></h3>

</body>

</html>

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;Edit the config/routes.rb file and add the information as shown below;

AustinGP::Application.routes.draw do

match ':controller(/:action(/:id(.:format)))'

end

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;All set now. You can start the built in web server by using "rails server" command inside the project folder.

C:\myruby\helloworld>rails server

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;If you access "http://localhost:3000/welcome/AustinGP", you should see your first program in Rails on action...

<span style="font-size:14px;<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;It makes economic sense to go to the AustinGP

.... me, I'm glad I got out of programming before Ruby on Rails became really popular.

aahh right

.... me, i dont even know what concrete topped furniture is! couldnt imagine it would need much more than a solid titanium coated chipbreaker bit or a couple of rough up spiral passes followed by smooth finish spiral to carve out a decent shape though (dependent on thickness mind you)?

id love to have a crack at making my own machine one day, but we will have to make do with what we are supplied with for the time being. we currently run a biesse rover b and a biesse rover 2.4. they have been pretty good machines, they have taken an absolute pounding and generally dont .... up too much. biggest issue we have had was seizing the router bearings not long after we got the first one, but that was a bit of a freak occurence. we were cutting around about 360 sheets of ply/hmr/mdf/acrylic/pvc/starboard a day on those beasts a while back there!

ive also used scm's (REAL OLD), andersons, and ART's (not the aprilia base motogp bike haha). ART make a not bad router, bit toyish, but their software was awesome. pretty good for aus made gear.

Don't know when I will be back... busy in Honkers, doncha know. Might pop over to Guanzhao for some cheap electronics... you need a new vibrator?

The vibrators in Guanzhao are bedazzled with LEDs and controlled by the same chip used in Chinese tablets...

I don't think so - your wife isn't complaining, is she? Must be satisfied!
