It’s the XLBS Show…………Happy Sunday Fellow CoGs!
Foist! A good show to look over tools but a think on larger bits, notably the sanders and saw, would we not be better served with repurposing wooden poster frames for portable/hide-away gaming boards? A 3×4 is easy enough to have big artwork on one side and a hidden setup on the other with such an investment.
Finding a communal hobby shed might be easier for the cost in cash and home real estate for effort.
I do like the idea of that – sneaky hidden gaming boards crafted out of frames…oooh.
Happy Sunday!
Talking of trains… I’ve always fancied travelling to Beijing via train. You go from London to Paris, then take a train from Paris to Russia and then another from Russia to Beijing.
The problem at the moment is Putin is still having his tantrum, so it’s difficult to get to Russia by train. The journey takes about a week but it goes through some impressive landscapes on the way.
I have some needle files,a pair of clippers, some glue,a pin drill and an exacto knife withs some spare blades….Don’t think I need anything else
Yay the XLBS Show time for the shenanigans.
Is?not pobble
? ? Poddle ?
Almost harmless ?
There’ll be a h&s site that will have the sizes for anything that you want the sizes for @lloyd
https://www.orr.gov.uk/guidance-compliance/rail/health-safety/laws
Had a quick look through but didn’t see any dimensions but they could be in a sub section @lloyd .
Will have a look.
Terminator well he did say he’ll be back.
The guy in bed in the Alamo could be Jim Bowie as per the movies?
I think that might indeed be it!
“That was a ukelele Lloyd”. Or was it a banjolele?
Lol Lloyd is makeing the death star beam with hundreds of small laser.
Or we could put them on sharks!
Ooh very Dr evil Nice Lol
Fabulous show guy’s.
Mappy Gunday!
00:00 TOOOOOL TIME!
05:00 how? what? huh?
08:00 Justing is not basic…. he’s Turbo Pascal
12:00 that went fast
15:30 that’s a penis!
18:00 @lloyd why don’t you start your own YouTube channel? You could be TheTrainTutor 😉
20:45 Sargent Even Longer
27:00 Sodor? Who’s that?
27:30 Model trains: making G’Wullu prices look reasonable…. jebus
31:44 “saving time” with 3D printing…. not convinced. It’s using time differently.
37:00 In short: you do you!
41:30 OUTCH!
42:00 @brennon you sound horrible mate! Get well soon. I hope you have some relax time on the weekend.
45:30 drag them in to do all the work! 😉
46:30 Oh nooooooes
48:00 did this go from golden buttons to unbutton g-strings? oO
52:00 ‘member the al…. I forgot.
53:45 Bling Bling Terminator!
58:45 TOOOOOL TIME
1:00:00 3D printing again…. buuuuh!
1:02:15 PRINTLINES! *anger levels rises*
1:05:00 Tool time?
1:12:00 smoking hot tools in your area want to know your number.
1:14:15 “Tungsten carbide drills!” “I’ve had more gala luncheons than you’ve had hot dinners!”
1:15:00 Proxxon tools are so cool. I love my hot wire cutter with foot pedal switch to bits. And I would stuff my hypothetical hobby room with them! And original Dremel tools. And no @warzan they can not be pricey. They ARE pricey. Some of them model tools cost more then full sized ones. :S
1:24:00 See, I told you… Proxxon is pricey
1:28:00 Also the hot wire cutter is the most affordable of them tools.
1:28:30 biggest advantage of Dremel tools: almost every brand of after market drill bits fits.
1:31:00 the gods demand square bases!
1:34:00 KUTZALL – Khorne tools
1:41:00 under preassure… *humms*
1:48:00 LAZ0RZ!
1:54:30 Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.
1:55:30 Yes, worth dumping. and if only because I like the smell of burning wood. Fire… fire…. FIRE!
1:58:45 Shed shaming? You filthy rich persons!
2:00:00 go out with a hobby bang!
And with that, I’m off watching Ghostbusters II with the family.
My weekend was indeed a lot better and feeling perkier!
TheTrainTutor lol
Seem to vaguely remember something about WW2 British tank design being limited by having to be rail portable and to be able to fit through a railway tunnel or bridge. Is John waiting for Lloyd to finish in 10 years time to point this out?
I think we need to make sure that this knowledge is shared far and wide.
THX gentlemen for the show – great pleasure as always – today with new hobby tools to try out – i will have a look at this laser cut thing – and if anyone here is looking for cheap DIY accessories for the PROXON hotwire – check out this here

Thanks for sharing some neat ideas!
I’m at the start of a “no motorway Maccas” Lent so I could ruddy murder a food challenge right now.
Only one piece of advice for a Dremel or Dremel-alike: get a mains one.
When you guys talk about scratch built, and here I just discovered (yesterday)this .. just amazing produced channel on Youtube called ‘Bill Making Stuff’ .. I am just flabergasted at what he makes from Recylclables … as well as the quality of the channel itself. Totally gobsmacked. So just putting it out there. Wish I had the time and focus to do scratch built. Maybe the Spring challenge.
I will have to have a look at that channel to see what’s what. Thanks. I would love to have the skills to do a lot more with recyclable material – need to get into the groove of that.
Bill is good, he’s part of a little crafting collective I would name the others but I’m lazy
Enjoyed the show as always. I find PLA model terrain to be perfectly fine though. I’ve made an excellent Ewok village that looks amazing. As well as an Tatooine style building set.
Nice stuff!
Happy Sunday,
Am I late??? couldnt help it. I was watching the Greatest movie ever made.
a mexican arrives preciously when they want to
On the whole debate of time & speed to produce with laser vs 3D print I think the final product and your own usage is really the only considerations worth thinking about.
For the vast majority of use cases your primary concern probably isn’t the speed of production. In the small business space then sure faster production means more stock to sell or quicker to meet orders.
So if you’re just putting together a few terrain pieces here and there for your own use then the slower print speed and higher quality finish of a resin printer makes more sense, and that’s without considering the minis that you can print for playing on the terrain.
Now if I was the type to frequently build entire tables worth of terrain for events or whatever then at that sort of scale maybe the laser efficiency comes into play. I love my 4Ground terrain but there are aspects that are undeniably the product of laser cutting that wouldn’t be present on a 3D printed version.
If the choice was strictly fdm vs laser I’d probably have to go with you on the laser though. I’m printing a lot of fdm terrain pieces lately and they are fine from a distance but when you look at them up close those lines are ugly!
As with anything, it can have its place, but for my money the resin 3D printer is the way to go.
A food challenge for Justin, he must eat 20 99p Hamburgers from McWonalds, the catch being for each uneaten burger comes with a forfeit written by the OTT Team and CoG’s that Justin must carry out e.g. Paint 50 Napoleonic figures (ok maybe a bit harsh but an example). Burger number 20 is a specially selected challenge by @warzan and also has lettuce on it.
Happy Sunday @warzan it was an awesome day, evening and night. love ya, ya big sexy God. But thank f**k I was driving or I’d be dead
@brucelea, @jamjarst, @commodorerob
great weekend catching up with the Beasties – @avernos, @justin, @johnlyons – Po and Shay
