  • "Thanks for the dedication to this website.  I was witness to it back when it was just ideas, sketched out on several chalkboards at Pratt.  I've been a reader ever since.  Love the content and intent of it being a vast hub of design.  Who knew it would grow to be what it is today- that takes vision. "

  • "Gravely has been doing this with their products from the 1970s to present.  One machine, many attachments.  Various mowers, snowblowers, tillers, rotary brushes, post hole diggers, snow blades, log splitters, cultivators, sickle bars, even ice cream makers.  "

  • "I think that the Audi version was a hinged flap that pivoted down and behind the mirror, bridging the gap between the visors.  It was out of the way when not in use.  It didn't totally block out everything, but it was good enough.  "

  • "Its great to see this technology become automated. The first time I had heard of using a hot knife on foam was from this French/Japanese artist known as Mizui. He used car batteries and manually fed wire through blocks of foam to create studies for larger works in stone. He was looking for the same smooth undulations seen in the process above.  But 40 years ago. https://yasuomizui.com/en/the-wall-of-hope-english-ok/"

  • "Facts to keep in mind here:  There's a roughly 20% weight loss in the coffee roasting process from its green state.  Roasted coffee is best when let rest for 24-48 hours after roasting.  From there, if sealed, that can last for maybe 2 weeks without grinding.   Final roast temperatures range from 410-455F, which highlights the fire risk of any device.  The process produces a significant amount of smoke and aroma throughout its temperature rise, from sticky sweet grassy, to peanuts, to a final coffee finish.  Doing this un-vented and indoors is probably not ideal.  Lastly, control of the heat vs air varies widely across the roast time spectrum, and differs by bean.  Using one push button roast recipe, and then controlling the duration is just not going to work for a range of beans.  Their profile aims for 400f, which is not ideal.    "

  • "Free cad software, or even the googler, would make that math easier. However, the real world difference here is the wall thickness of the material, and the fact that the smaller neck cylinder wasn't calculated into the equation. And, there is usually a pushed in area on most manufactured 'bottle' containers bottom surfaces, to avoid wobble when sat on a somewhat flat surface. Sure, its close, in volume but, when you are titling your video with the word precisely in it, well, you are asking for comments. And, I didn't have the disc sander in my dorm to make that bevel edge."

  • "Coffee freak here, recently bought the larger canister and finding it to be just about perfect.  There is an audible hiss from the valve that verifies the trick being done here, which is nice.  The handle is robust, nicely sized, and dummy proof, even for pre-coffee fumbling.   "

  • "Porcelain is Ceramic by definition, just a clay variety of denser and finer particles, fired at a higher temperature.  But by also glazing these pieces, it introduces other ingredients into the overall makeup. "
