On the Bench December 15, 2011: 3rd Anniversary

[1965GJS]

Hi Tom. It was finding your channel on YouTube that inspired me to try and get back into modelling as a hobby. I had abandoned modelling after university due to the normal "life" pressures, but about a year or so ago, I got re-inspired, and you helped! I even joined a local modelling club. Thank you.

Thanx for all the build tips, have a happy X-mas and New Year!

Cool looking bench. Nice set up. Congratulations!

[ModelManTom]

@damncranky666 I just used some of your latest advice and wet sanded the J2 floor. While dry sanding would have scuffed the surface in a bad way, wet sanding amazed me with a fine result using 1000grit! (I've been empathizing with you on the 'cold factor' here in SoCal. After my first winter here nearly a decade ago, I lost my New England resistance to the chill and now anything under 65 is nippy. And it's hitting the 30s nightly the past few weeks! brrr.) Thanks, Cranky!

Thanks, Tom! Maybe a little more "beef" in the next one! I've got an idea!

Really looking forward to seeing more JII action-- good luck with the charity auction and all things ModelersBrand! Looking forward to the New Year.

what happened to your makerbot???? we never see or hear anything about it anymore.......

[ModelManTom]

@STICKYHOUSE It's off to the side. There's a makerbot meet this sunday, I'll make a point of shooting a few minutes on it. But I haven't used it anywhere near the amount of time I wanted to. Still, it's a heavy tool sitting on the back bench waiting for use.

I can't wait to see all the Jupiter2 vids! I know It'll be fantastic when you're done.

Have a Merry Xmas ModelMan!
