kmealy Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 China is working on the variable 9-13 ply plywood, depending on where you look. Loose fiber plies included. HARO50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Altier Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I just looked at a piece of ply and was wondering how in the world they made such a perfect plug. NOW I KNOW HARO50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 That article should be required reading for all middle school students. Four semi-skilled workers replaced by robots and two computer operators. Those four jobs will not "come back", they haven't been exported or off shored, they have just disappeared. Been going on for 50 years and will keep on keeping on. HARO50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Read an article a while ago about burger flipper's jobs being roboticized. Pretty soon, a humanities degree won't be worth squat. HARO50 and Cal 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have typical engineer's attitude toward the courses I took to keep my GPA above water. Of course my daughter got a degree in art history. But then she makes more than I do. And she's part time. I've found few careers where the degree really made the career. Some careers are carefully crafted to eliminate those w/out degree (medicine), but the degree seldom guarantees competency. Someone builds and maintains robots, but it's usually not the poor shlub who got replaced by the robot. OTOH, what we're seeing isn't at all new (try finding a buggy whip), but the velocity of it is stunning. The I-phone is only 11 years old. Happy Birthday, job killer!

I have typical engineer's attitude toward the courses I took to keep my GPA above water. Those underwater basket weaving courses certainly helped my GPA, too. One of our boys earned an MBA while in the AF. He's now working as a robot technician at a salary likely far exceeding what he'd make if he utilized his degree. His brother took some courses in diesel mechanics and, ain't doing too shabby, either. Both earn more than either my wife or I ever did with our MS degrees. But, neither one can make an Mortise and Tenon joint has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to join pieces of wood, mainly when the adjoining pieces connect at an angle of 90°. In its basic form it is both simple and strong. Although there are many joint variations, the basic mortise and tenon comprises two components: the mortise hole and the tenon tongue. The tenon, formed on the end of a member generally referred to as a rail, is inserted into a square or rectangular hole cut into the corresponding member. The tenon is cut to fit the mortise hole exactly and usually has shoulders that seat when the joint fully enters the mortise hole. The joint may be glued, pinned, or wedged to lock it in place">M&T joint.

kmealy Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Personally, I'd rather be programming a robot that doing the same boring plug filling thing every day. Art History, huh? Click and Clack you to joke about that. But I had two art history classes, I think I took them because they did not require writing essays, that I hated and was never very good at.

Kevin Beitz Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 We have a tool place 30 mile from my home that sells BIG dollar tools called Hermance. I got to watch a robotic machine somewhat like the above machine making cabinet fronts. wow was it fast. If you ever get to the Williamsport Pa. area you need to check them out.
