wcefai Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 Thats insane how light carbon fiber is
HunterJohnson Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 very cool stuff! Could you carbon fiber shapes such as a banana with a curve and straight piece? Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass
Captain Stupid Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Posted February 13, 2013 very cool stuff! Could you carbon fiber shapes such as a banana with a curve and straight piece? You don't have to be coy with me. You want me to make you a carbon fiber dildo and anal bead set, don't you? 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ
HunterJohnson Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 no I actually want to kno how hard it would be to make shapes such as a bottle or tea pot. but a CF dildo does sound like a money maker Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass
Captain Stupid Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Posted February 13, 2013 no I actually want to kno how hard it would be to make shapes such as a bottle or tea pot. but a CF dildo does sound like a money maker You can make nearly anything out of carbon fiber with the right skills, enough material, and lot of time. Also depends on how you want the finished product to look. If you absolutely have to have that sexy, glossy, exposed fabric carbon fiber look, it takes a lot more patience and skill to pre-plan each step to make an absolutely perfect finished product. 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ
