nzlowie Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Been waiting for the next update..... Unidirectional CF, what's the theory for using that as apposed to woven? 400gsm is pretty heavy carbon..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upfront Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 The idea is unidirectional is much stronger. So as I lay multiple layers I will alternate direction. I'll vacuum bag it as I now have the gear for it, then layers of paper, then carbon fibre again to finish. CLD/carbon composite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar is finally done but I need a new table for the shed. I've been waiting on a stainless steel one to turn up on gumtree. Something clean and tidy to work on now things are getting a little more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaky Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Solar? Heating for the shed so you can spend more time out there over the cold, frigid, icy Tassie winter? And the cold frigid half of summer too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's take a few weekend and a couple of blokes from work for the clever stuff but done now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canberra today was ~ 0 - 24 Hobart ~10 - 24, which city has the coldest temperature? It is easy to forget or not know about temperatures, Alice Springs and the central areas get to 0 and below quite regularly. Where are the main ski fields in Australia, not Tasmania. It does get cold here, not as cold as other places in Australia though, but I do know where I prefer to live. Melbourne eh(?) not that much difference to here. Nice solar install Linc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaky Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Nice install mate. You have a valid point with the Melbourne thing though. Not much power left in what sun we are getting lately. @soundbyte I do have a dim dark distant memory of things oh so close to freezing mid stream in arctic Canberra so am aware of that.

The Alice has dry cold...no humidity in winter which is why the temperatures can be negative at dawn and 28 by 10am...less water in the air to warm up or cool down. Tas has a wet cold that is whole degrees of magnitude worse to be in...a bit like summer temperatures in Qld...I'd much rather 42 degrees with low humidity in Melbourne than 35 degrees and air you could cut with a knife in Rocky or Cairns.

swervyn Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 also... a bit of a flashback when I left. The bottom floor unit at the end of your street I spent a number of nights at with a crazy cat girl many years ago that I had totally forgotten about. Must have repressed that memory for a reason I'm thinking... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
