The Construction Thread

[Batch]

Wait till the jobs stimulus starts, you will see the USA buying glue by the truckload.

This does not fill me with confidence.

Elmers........

Not Gorilla Glue?

Doesn't give me a lot of confidence in the construction skills of the country with the largest dam in the world.

That was funny.

I hope they aren't making any airplanes or trains.

You don't live downstream, so it's not a big deal.

Not so funny when you think of how horse glue is made......

But, hide glue is awesome stuff.......If it works on an armoire, it should work on a bridge, eh?

The armoire is not load bearing, right?

Have you ever carried one up the stairs?

I just lay furniture on it's flat side on a heavy blanket, and then drag it to where I want it go.

They are actually working on a type of epoxy that will be used with carbon-fiber beams to build stuff.

Stronger than a steel weld?

I'm not sure. I know the beams are super light.

They have such things, now......

Spendy, but light.......

For the money, I like epoxy and wood.....

It only has to be slightly stronger than the base material. And there's no heat affected zone.

 

[TurdFergeson]

I think they have such things for car frames and aircraft?

Given the fact that Boeing's Dreamliner got airborne, I believe you're correct.....

That thing is glued together?

it's made out of a lot of composites.......some must be glued together....

 

[rosco rathbone]

Somehow a pot of glue and a brush just isn't as cool as a shower of sparks.

They've been using "glue" to bond aluminum aircraft skins together on commercial airliners for quiet some time. I'm sure its used extensively.

I think you mean manly/masculine.

I find aramid fiber construction to be way cool. The warp and weft placement, vacuum pressing while applying heat etc...

Is that what they used for the joint strike fighter wing? I saw a cool disco channel special on that...

Lets glue the building together, put it in a baggie and slip it into the autoclave to cure.
