Well I'd better not show you where the lemonade is made.

Anyways, I really quite sad that the UNIMAT system seems like a POS regarding accuracy. For the prices it looked ok.

Ah well, just have to save me some more Benjis.

True, looks like such a good idea on paper and I definitely would have loved to have one when I was 10, but now is not time for toys.

I've been thinking a lot about what projects would be accesible if I had my own lathe and it's blowing my mind - Damn LeMaudit and his accursed contraptions! - proper high mix "realistic" size hybrid cartridges, revolvers, reciprocating bolt systems, even tinier projects - what would stop me making this unitfor a 3 or even 1mm calibre auto?

Yes, this is definitely the next step.

JSR, I thought you were going to pull the standard "dry mouth/thirsty? blast it with p***" Bear Grylls meme. I didn't expect that from you.

Didn't think that there was any /b/ros here. Also, if you weren't aware, Encyclopedia Dramatica is gone, but it's revived with a .ch instead of .com

The old url takes you to OhInternet, a very soft version of ED. Just thought you'd be interested.

I just entered a 48 hour short film competition with my mates and our given genre was "one-room film" which means the short film needs to take place inside a single room.

Any ideas? :D

A short version of "The Cube" ? Or "Saw" :-D

Seriously if you search subject inspiration in theater pieces, many take place in a single space with lots of doors.

More crazy? Okay:

Could be the story of a little guy trapped inside a Rubik's cube. Lots of colored papers glued to the wall could do. And the guy get awfully sea-sick each time the cube's owner flip the sides in all directions like a mad man.

*or*

Tell the story of a poor chicken. Trap inside his little wire-netting cubic world.

*or*

the story of an undergarment, waiting inside a washing machine his fate, to be spinned. The title would be: "Underwear: Revolution" :lol:

Okay. I need my morning coffee now. I'll feel better after :wink:

Isn't it one of the variations?

Personally I've never seen it, it's of the same ilk though.

Nothing like shutupwomangetonmyhorse meet foul batchelor Bear Grylls.

Shame this board is PG, if it weren't we'd be looking at /b/ now.

Well after all these suggestions for MrC's film I'm certain that this is well beyond PG now.

I think we should exit the gutter of our minds now.
