CNC Molds N Stuff Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I was working with somebody yesterday on doing some small production run cut carbon fiber & kevlar sheet parts for something totally unrelated to tackle making. Because of some of what I learned here from you guys about working with resins, and what some of that has lead me to research and learn elsewhere I was able to offer a couple possible answers or research areas for product development problems they were having. I'll never be a materials science expert, but you guys have helped me to broaden my knowledge in atleast one or two aspects of it. Thank you. Now to go post something similar for the airgun guys about plastics. (same customer - not related to airguns) Ages ago I used to tell the technicians that worked for me (as a contractor) that all knowledge was useful. A couple decades later and I really have no qualifications for that. All knowledge is still useful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Young Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 That's right Mark! I heard it illustrated many years ago: Knowledge is the perception that you are standing on railroad tracks. Understanding is the realization that trains also use those tracks, and in fact one is coming now. Wisdom is the application of knowledge .. in this case, getting off the tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
