Best Ultimate Tech Talk Hang Out Loud Edition Season V

But floor tiles are decorative. We want the concrete stick to be functional and manly, but not decorative.

true, i dont kno why, but when you first mentioned it, all i could see is big slabs of thick heavy ass marble, granite or whatnot in my head, because thas what ive been around in the past. i used to work in a sign shop and sometime i would work with our sub-contractors when we had to make exotic type signage with stone or marble…completly forgot they come in tiles. for cutting (big thick slabs at least) we used some ryobi circular saw with a diamond tipped blade usually matched with substrate. since most of the tiles on the page you linked are less than an inch, im not sure if there is an easier way solution to working with those. not even sure what type of bit you would use to drill the holes. but if you like i can make some calls and maybe get some better info or recommendations on how to work with these types of materials.

just freaking MELTED a finger knuckle with my desoldering iron… OOOHHHH FEELS SO GOOD!

I’d expect it to be a matter of buying the right tools at Home Depot or wherever, and having a workspace where you can make a mess. Of course you don’t get that pleasant ā€˜cool’ feeling without mass…

You melted? :mad:

Maybe it was his plastic arm?

Oh, then it’ll be an easy fix.

Nerrage, I need you right now.

It keeps you honest. I do it once in a while and it reminds me to respect my iron.

On the same note, I see a few of you guys on here who feel like they need a soldering challenge. At work the other day, I had to remove a few SMD power regulator chips that have an underbelly pad for the ground/heatsink. THAT is a good challenge for desoldering, mostly because unless you have a hot air pencil that shit is not happening at all. I did get up after getting the chip off and replacing it with a new one and felt like the fucking man though :rofl:.

Nerrage!
