Title: How It's Made
Post by: Timbbuc2 on May 24, 2018, 02:45:48 PM

This is what I do, make elastic from bra staps to underwear elastic. This video is made on a 768 hook loom. Meaning it has 768 individual cords that go up and down to make a design.
Enjoy!
And if you would like to post what you do for a living or what you did feel free.

That's is super cool!  I'm amazed with technology and how things are made.  I love that you were able to do something like that.   :banana:   :grouphug:  E-Bodies.org underwear for the next Prize Shop?   :D

Ok Tim, now look what you got started.  Wish I would have thought of that when I was in the business.  Challenger and Cuda underwear, rather than Hanes!   Good Job.

You can put anything you like on elastic, any design or logo.

and it gets better. I made some anti-rattle tubing for the door latch rod. Not the same material (100% cotton) because the original does not exist.

I know I've reused a few door "anti" rattle coveres that I wished I would have had something new like what you made.   :clapping:

SMC, a type of pre-preg fiberglass-like material that gets put into a ~2,500 ton press to mold the panel.

If your looking around the Canadian border your not gonna find me.. Better go back to working the counter at the Speed Shop...... :vipermanhiding:

Nope: That first shot was a small town west of you (San Jose I think). I spent a few days all over that area.  I spent two days in Modesto waiting for 1 lousy skid of fruit, then over to Monterey or Salinas for the rest of the load. It was over 100 which didn't making waiting any better. I like your area though.
That last shot was waiting at the border after 7 days on the road and reminds me to never do that again. You're right, selling Chebby parts is easier for a supposed to be retired guy like me. ;)

If you spent two days here you should have messaged me, I'd at least take ya to McDonald's... :rofl:

For 18 years I made blow molds for plastic bottles ( lots were shampoo)  That brings back some memories going to plants trouble shooting.

That is so interesting. I as well cant show the brands of elastic I make but go to Walmart or some the High end stores and you can see them.

A lot of work and thinking goes into the machinery to move and do those products , epicyclic walking heads etc.
Interesting !

Good work Goody: There's a lot involved in making it right, weight, space, longevity, comfort, eye appeal and cost of course. Paccars were my favorite, nice ride, no squeeks, good quality switches etc.

I take hills like this and turn them into homes like that. 

I actually do a majority of the work.  I'm a working General contractor. 
The home is an I.C.F. constructed home.     http://foxblocks.com/   
Roof is spray foam insulated to sub-straight and has an R value of 55. 
42' tall of I.C.F.   Wall insulation value is R55+
Main room window is the largest warrantable window I could get in America.  (there is larger, but no warranty)
9500' Elevation. snow loads are 95#  and wind load is 120#      I personally saw 4' of snow and 80MPH winds.
12' interior walls  14" floor joists   28' main room height.
I could see 4 mountain ranges from this building site.  So I got about 5 sunrises a day and 5 sunsets a day. Absolutely Beautiful
