  5. Stan Schwartz took his last breath this afternoon at 2:48 EDT at Hospital in Evansville Indiana, He had a battle with lung cancer and is survived by his wife and children
  6. Latest update, while in hospital they found her gall bladder is enlarged and full of stones, but due to her other issues they cannot operate because she will bleed out, so she is likely to die from that rupturing before the cancer finishes her, they transferred her to hospice and have her drugged up to deal with the pain
  7. My sister Tammy lives near Dallas Tx, She in the hospital. She has stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and she was attacked a few days ago, beaten badly and was being strangled when the police arrived. Her attacker is in jail for attempted murder. If she manages to get out of hospital she will go to hospice. She is at the end now. She forgave her attacker.
  8. IFI gets $10 per book sold through the site from me, buying from Amazon or directly from my publisher does not send anything to IFI, and very little to me to be honest. so order from your local Lulu outlet, and send IFI a donation directly, you still save money
  9. I am not a lineman, But there is some over lap with the sub stations and service connections I have worked on, and FYI 120v has an arc flash danger zone of 10 feet, so dont fool yourself
  10. not that hard to make the wrought into blister steel for blades
  11. I remember the first time a new apprentice saw me do hot connections on a service entrance, He asked how I turn the power off to do it, and I told him we dont... The look on his face when I grabbed the line and stripped off some insulation to make the splice LOL

  13. How did our wire length estimate turn out ? Was 2 people enough to pull it? I want details
  14. what gave you the idea that the bars are good metal for knives?
  15. Dont most engineers take into consideration the common existing methods when making new designs?
  16. I am still wondering what the transmission photos have to do with anything?
  17. trick to stainless is go slow, lots of lube/coolant and be prepared to replace tooling often
  18. For a single motor, size conductors at least 125% of the motor Full Load Current rating as listed in Table 430.247 of the NEC, that means a max of 28 amps is needed, its always a good idea to have a little overhead available in the lines and not run at max rating, so I would use #8 AWG wire if I were installing it, but #10 is perfectly fine, safe and legal
