    CNC Milling advice

    I did all sorts of heat treating for 10 years. From stress relief to hot isostatic pressing. At the end of the day, the things I enjoyed about it were far outweight by the extreme swings in temperature, greasy dirt, and heavy lifting.(tuning a HIP is fun as hell though). So i switched careers...

    Joe Kenney loses hood. Does one more huge backflip anyway.

    Joe vs Malone in 2002. Malone is dialed as hell, but Kenney is going huge. Loses hood after a hard landing. Realizes his ski hasn't sunk yet and fires off a huge backflip that finishes the job before getting towed in. Sorry if this has been posted before.

    RN pole on SN hull. Looks like washers solve the problem?

    Hi! I have an RN pole I could use on my SN. I'd really like to try it but backwards compatibility to SN pole is important. Am I crazy to want to throw a million washers in to the gaps and call it a day? Even in some huge sloppy joe waves?
