My dedication to 3rd gens
In my Material science class at school we made rings out of sterling silver and had to engrave things into them. I chose to do a dedication to the third gens and engraved VE AD VG in the ring, AD being my initials. This ring is not done, i have only sanded it with 220 grit sand paper, it will get 400, 600 then a buff and will turn out shiny chrome looking.
Here are some extreme quality pics with the families new Sony Alpha 100:

Endicott your teacher?
I think I actually made two rings, the second wasn't that great though
must have spent a lot of time carving the wax
(it's too late now but if you polished the wax with paper towels you virtually don't have to sand the cast piece )

you ain't lived until a spring compressor breaks,rocketing the spring across your nose and head.

you are talking about a big suspension spring? or a valve spring? either way i thought those would kill you/break bones, not just leave you bloodied up...

yeah you're a lucky guy. now I'm just going to be paranoid when I get around to doing mine, because no matter what route I choose, I will probably have to compress/remove the springs at some point. but that's not happening right away because i'm going to collect all my parts first, then do it all at once (springs, struts, control arms, balljoints, bushings, steering rack insulators, tierod boots, etc), then drive 10mph to the alignment place and get it aligned once.my hands are between those of alex d. and matt. i know they hate the cold, that's for sure.

This model is coming my way real soon..

Here are my 2 cents for various people, first;
To the subway guy, you know you dont really have to compress springs yourself right? you can take it to certain parts stores or shops and they will transfer springs for 10-20 bucks EACH which yes its still some cash but at least you'll have piece of mind.
Greeny, the gfs father and I have been working out of the garage lately and have had to compress some struts already SOOOO I tthink I might be getting one of those hydraulic compressors are well!!! I didnt think they were that cheap. Nice commodity

umm. yeah. actually I'm going to maybe have my uncle help with it. I'll talk to him before i start taking my car apart, because if I have him help, i'll need to be in his town (45 minute drive), that, or just toss my struts in some other car and drive down there with them, since it's like $10 there and back on gas

In 15 years and easily 100 sets of springs, I've never had one come out of my compressors... and I have a cheapie set I bought at autozone. it's simply a matter of paying attention to what you're doing...

yes it is possible, but that tie needs to be capable of withstanding 150psi before braking to be even remotely useful.
