A guy I know has a couple dry ice makers of different sizes that he uses with his FX company. They're not super-efficient, but when they shoot on location where it's impractical to buy blocks of dry ice ahead of time and store it, it's been a real bacon-saver. If you're going to be using it a few ti...

WTF? Where'd that come from?

If our camp has a genny I would like to case it in a sound chimney. Who's done this? I've got a couple of questions before I construct one. 1: Is 8 feet tall enough to shunt the worst of the din up out of earshot? 2: How much open space around the machine do you want to keep the heat from building u...

My birthday is on 4/20.
Just can't tell ya how much I enjoy telling people that!
Celebrated it, too.

"Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity" by John Stossel.

Also, check your connection on the thick wire and make sure you have the glow coating stripped off down to the bare copper; the inverter might not be making a full connection with it. Also all that stuff everyone else said.

Anybody have any experience with Ramsey transmitters? I have no experience with transmitting at all so I don't know the brands, but I've seen what look like good deals on their equipment.

If budget is not an issue I would purchase a gas shielded wire feed welder if you want productivity right now. The cheapest ones are frustrating so going with a name brand as mentioned before and not bottom of the line will be best. I forgot to mention.... WORD!!!! Harbor Freight sells MIG welders ...

My little Miller 110V has all the power I need right now. Up to 3/16" thick steel with a nice clean gas-shielded weld, or up to 1/4" if I use flux-cored wire, which is not as pretty but still a good weld (and the only choice in windy outdoors anyway). Anything I make is done with round or square tub...

The pic that weirded me was the one of the woman doing that posing for the picture with her father.

I guess this takes the mystery out of who the kids'll look like.

I hope they hit every primary and rally this upcoming election. Both sides. Let a fucking politician try to keep his composure when a clown is bouncing around squeaking sex toys at him.

The clown in that picture's name is Rugburns, and she's a member of the Porn Clown Posse out of San Francisco that combines clowning with BDSM and other, eh, non-mainstream adult entertainment. In addition to being for hire for shows, they like to crash political conventions and shit like that. I th...

Aquateen Hunger Force be damned... the Lite-Brite has finally seen the pinnacle of its evolution:

Bacon is always and will always be just bacon. As always, just a thin slice of salty pork back meat, lying there in a slab. Nothing creative or fulfilling...just bacon...fried, baked, microwaved or fired in a kiln...still just bacon. Still always tasting like bacon. Ooooooh, stop, you're giving me ...

That is just fucking priceless.

Pray, pray they keep doing it. This could grow to be the best thing since "Will It Blend."

I'm sorry, but according to the "poll", every single "choice" offered on the "poll" is either a vote for sausage, a slam against bacon, or some whimsical non-sequitur touting the wonders of sausage. Of course there's no votes for bacon because it's not one of the choices. Those of us who prefer baco...

The small 1/2-kiloton strike over Kaihoro should be sufficient to neutralize the Crumb's Crunchy Delights stronghold there... The Booby Bar will tolerate no competition from alien franchises.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh!

Pretty liiiiiiiiiiiiiights!

We've got real lightning bugs around here, so no need for 'em in my own backyard... but a coupla sets of those would be awesome to add to the FX kit! Especially the battery operated ones... thanks for the headsup!!

I've never heard of them using any kind of wool or wicking to make flame; it will eventually burn up so why use it? wind, and flame cannon bursts sometimes snuff out a pilot. Oops...didn't think of that :oops:. I'm used to thinking in terms of a film set, not a wind-torn playa. Though using a firep...

...slots, not holes. Instead of a row of little holes, cut parallel slashes on the diagonal about 1 to 1 1/2" apart so the gas venting out sort of overlaps into a fan of flame. good idea, never tried that, whats the width of the slots? Most firebars use 3/4" iron pipe, and the slots go almost to th...

Fire bars for special effects in film do well without using metal wool or wicking. For a solid-looking sheet of flame, The key is how it's vented from the pipe; slots, not holes.

I use the kind pipe cutter that cuts with a disk by tightening it as you run it arround the pipe. No saw shavings and if you do the process with out tightening the cutter too much at one time there is no ridge. My first year I did the saw routine over a bucket on a tarp and still mooped for over an...

Ground cayenne pepper also stops bleeding quite well. But that first minute or so after application will let ya know what you're made of.
