Hey ppls.

Well, I'm looking for somebody to Sand and Polish about 65 square meters of floorboards in my house. Almost black stain, and matt finish.

So, does anybody here do it?

Should we start a register of what people do?

I'd been in government for 4 years, so if anyone needed their photocopier jammed, newspaper read or internet surfed... i'm more than willing to pitch in! B)

Now I'm at a place that does office design & furniture fitout, but they charge like raging bulls for everything, so not sure if that helps. :O

If anyone wants to build a hydro electric power station let me know.

10% SAU discount will apply  :P

No but at the end of next year I'll be applying for a job (first year mech eng graduate) so make sure you keep telling the HR manager that skyline drivers make the best employees... :D

She’s a tough industry to get into at the moment as every company wants people with experience they don’t have to train too much.

Work for a transport company so should be able to ship some things around the eastern seaboard provided they can be picked up from our depots. Although as we are a chilled foods distribution company, it is not an overly cheap way of doing it compared to TNT etc. Hang on, pointless paragraph!

I run Australian Electrics and Entertainment which is kind of a one stop shop for digital bits and pieces and IT hardware and software. Also home entertainment products like TV's etc. Cameras and accessories etc. If I can help an SAU member I am more than happy to.

aee.com.au is the site which is a work in progress so PM or email me is the safest bet at this stage to ensure I get it.

Good idea for a thread as well Bass.

INASNT

I'll give you the hot tip.

If you are good at a 3D Solid Modelling package, ACAD 3D, Solid Edge, Solid Works etc. You will have a MUCH better chance of landing a job easily.

Cos as a first year grad, you will be drafting and stuff for about a year.

Box Hill Tafe do a course in Solid Edge which is quite good. They also do UniGraphics training.

Check it out.

I already have a mech engineer job that pays very well mate :P xRHETTx is the one after a job.

I have a friend that is an expert at catia 3d modeling and he just got a sweet job at boeing on a big pay packet. I just cant stand sitting in front of the computer drawing all day with those packages. I use alot of Autocad 2d for design work tho when I have to.

Yeah right, sorry. I meant xRHETTx

what does xRHETTx mean anyway?

Yeah, I used to draft in Autocad, and then model in Solid Edge

Now I sell the machines we make insted of designing them. I do very very little drawing now. I have somebody to do it for me!

lol, i shoulda been here earlier -

as an architectural draftsman i draw exclusively in 2d using Acad, also starting to use a bit of 3d Revit.

so if ya need some floor plans drawn up for your floor sanding (overkill?), i'm the guy ;)

it just so happens that my dad actually works for boeing as a catia operator, so it's possible he knows your mate INASNT. he reckons that there has been a bit of an increase in the number of skylines in the boeing carpark of late...

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
