No I get it. I think you're insinuating because she is a cleaner she can't read. Yes?

If that is the case you're a prick.

Note the "that's not funny actually" under the picture.
I'm not laughing with it (ok maybe a little) but the point was: everyone on here says that everyone on here is shit a college, are total failures in their lives, .. , so asking if somebody is studying engineering on here, on DSF, is a stupid question.
just joking btw, i'm sorry if i offended you firky. I didn't know you were a cleaning lady.

stupid joke

maybe if you tell us yer problem someone might be able to help

i done E&EE so if it's maths or physics based then i could give ye a hand.

Nah it's Processes, I've been given 4 Technical drawings of 4 different components which you have to describe the machining process to create them, machine, tools used, coolant used, speeds, feeds, tolerances etc. Was hoping that someone might be on or has done hnc but It was just a shot in the dark really asking on here.

^ah, dying art
did some fitting & turning for B Ed Industrial Arts
but remain an amateur compared to tradespeople.
Are yu skilled on a metal lathe? e.g. can you form screw threads?
Have you ever used an old-school shaper?
Do you have expertise in cad-cam?
With most peebs wanting to become well-paid lawyers & consultants
I am most impressed with those who acquire the practical skills based upon physical reality.

2manynoobs · Post by **2manynoobs** » Sat Dec 05, 2009 2:06 pm

why do you call it a dying art?

nousd · Post by **nousd** » Sat Dec 05, 2009 2:22 pm

not so much the design aspect
as the craft skill

time ago, mechanical engineers had the skills to construct for themselves
trains, turbines, engines etc
my impression is that MEs are now CAD-centric & less hands-on
Glad if yu can convince me otherwise.

ah hadn't looked it from that side. You are right. ME's these days are afraid to get their hands dirty. Altho, i don't think it's their fault: it's the fault of tis fucked up capitalistic marketeconomy. big, bigger, biggest... And even BIGGER!
You know, this reminds me of the best beer in the world: West-Vleter Beer. It's voted to the best beer in the world and it's brewn by monks.
Now if these guys should sell the recipe, to a big company, they'd be richer than Bill Gates. But they don't. They brew just enough so they can pay their little costs, and maintain their sobre lifestyle.

Isn't that just wonderful?

Oh btw, the art is dying, but there are still some people doing it theirselves, like this man, Jos d'Haens:

He has built the world smallest motor this year. I his own garage with his own tools and hands. Then again, he's 74

I'm half way through an apprenticeship, I've had some experience on a lathe/ milling machine but would not say that I'm upto the standards of trades people.
I work for Ball packaging which produces beverage cans, I'm mainly on the maintenance side of things however we do have a workshop so I do have a basic knowledge of work shop practices; fitting, welding, machining etc
Never used a shaper, have no experience in CAD/CAM.
Still have ALOT more to learn but that will come with experience.
Yes it seems that a lot of people on here are in or studying graphic design or office work, I prefer to get my hands dirty tbh.
