Some were tutorials on how to bend metal by hand or with simple tools, with a hammer, a leaf brake or a box and pan brake; some others dealt with the design of tools and dies. I know this doesn't replace visiting a real shop and (hopefully) getting a try at bending a piece of metal myself, but the videos were extremely detailed, with lots of close up views, and at least I got to see different kinds of presses Bending Sequence One thing I’m learning quickly about Sheet Metal product design is that coming up with a sheet metal part or assembly in SolidWorks (or even a hand-drawn pattern for that matter) is only the first part of the story. The interesting part is now figuring out how it is going to be fabricated! This means that, besides a pattern, we also need to come up with a sequence of operations that takes into account the kind of tools or equipment we have at hand.

Predictably, they want a piece of the taxpayer-funded bailout pie. They have a friend in Barney Frank, who is ready to toss Detroit a $100 billion life preserver. Yes indeed, when Barney Frank isn’t busy stockpiling cases of petroleum jelly, he likes to spend his time sodomizing (resisting cheap shot here, folks!) the taxpayers by subsidizing failure.

The embargo is over, the veil has been lifted and we can finally give you the low-down on the all-new Z34 370Z. Nissan debuted the 370Z to much fanfare at the LA Auto Show today, and with it they've also released the first batch of stats n' specs of the new Z-car. Some details we already know, like how the VVEL-equipped 3.7-litre VQ37VHR V6 that powers it delivers some 246kW, and that the new 6-speed manual gearbox features a rev-synching function for downshifts (known as SynchroRev Match in Ni12,000 Auto Workers Get Full Pay For Doing Nothing Before Washington doles out billions in "bailout" aid to the auto industry, perhaps they should do something about this first: Ken Pool is making good money.

But what on earth do these people -- the union, and management which bowed to the union -- expect when they're doing insane things like this? And any "bailout" (really a permanent taxpayer subsidy of far too high UAW wages) simply goes to keeping nonsense like this in place. And don't say their wages are "far too high" as some sort of judgment about the value of their work.
