Just for a laugh

[Darren Henry]

I was intending this to be a lighthearted approach relating to our trade that may have kicked of some discussion from the content of the video, not some joke thread

A couple of things came to my mind as I finally got to view the video (which ends without showing the finished project or what the other pieces were for BTW)

>Like Gene , I'm saying move the table out from the wall  ???
>If you can't afford a beam compass or those tips from Lee Valley that go on your yardstick use a piece of string and a thumb tack before you experiment with every round object in the shop.
>Before you tape your window plastic or bug screen in place cut a hole in the piece your are about to discard so you can start cutting without nicking the screen behind
>most importantly-- never slam that many Red Bulls before work. You'll wind up with a needle through your finger  8) Right June?

As soon as I seen him climb on top of his table I thought " Thank God I refuse Marine Work Jobs ". :)
My table would collapse with my fat butt on top of it.

It was interesting to watch though. :)

Good point Darren on the precuttinv thebscreen I lalway make a cut wether it's screen or if it's vinyl widow   
I wonder mug my phone won't open that vid.

That was indeed pretty damn quick. I'd probably work that fast too if I had to listened to that tune all day. Do customers get to choose between 33 1/3 or binding spool radius?

Do you install them that fast too? Do we get to see that video next?

Most go for the old 78's ;)

I was going to record every process but it was taking too long. You'll be surprised how much longer it takes when trying to do this work differently than you would normally, you really have to think about it. DH picked up on the failure to cut the window area before sewing and the funny back and forth to the store room to find a suitable curve for the window. :) DH get's 5 points for each find, well done mate, but there are still a few more to find. Anyone?


Move the bench? I would if I could, but I would lose too much room in doing so. Working on the bench doesn't bother me, as I'm used to working on my knees (sail loft environment).

Next time I install a sprayhood I'll record it. I've got one to fit on friday but it's a simple luff & track install so it wouldn't be worth it tbh.

Funny, I use binding rolls and bend my rulers just like he does.
One major mistake though, he's sliding that window vinyl around
on an unprotected surface. Always, always lay something on the
table first. An old sheet or something.

To answer your question, I don't work that fast.

I gave a quote to someone a few years ago and he asked if I could
sew faster to cut down on the time. I had to laugh. I told him I sew
the correct speed to get the job done right.

[Mike8560]

Lol if I can do the job  faster it my savings.   

[Mike8560]

F you copy and post the link if you were to email the vid maybe I can see it that what I did with my vid post

[kodydog]

Hay Mike try this, type "you tube" in your browser. then type 'sphinxpdq' in the search window. When I did it his video was the fourth one down. Look for the picture of a red car on a race track, that's it.

[Mike8560]
