Syquest... predates Jaz and Zip by several years if I'm not mistaken...
Dude, that is awesome!!! deserves mention for sure... I'm not a true SW fan... saw the first movie but don't remember... is that an accurate copy, or just inspired by r2d2?
6 freakin' years?? ...I hope it vacuums the shop or something besides looking cool?

And the winner is!!!
Yes, your guess is correct, it's a must have assortment set of "O-rings", you never know when you will need one in the shop, and there are so many different sizes (thickness & diameter), it's just makes since to have the complete set on hand.
If you need an O-ring and go to auto store or one of the BIG box stores, you could pay $1-5.00 per O-ring, however Harbor Freight has a complete assortment of 382 pieces for $9.99.

I posted my photo, cause GG had the same set.
Those O-Rings kit never/very rarely have the correct size needed!

Hm, that was before my day then. My first computer back in '98 had a zip drive in it, those disks look pretty similar.
That R2D2 is freaking AWESOME by the way.
I had to go back and search because I didn't remember seeing any pic with r2 in it. Sorry I missed the original link.
Pretty amazing. Does it have a cupholder? like, to go get you beer from the fridge or anything?
Beats the pants off my kids costume I made 2 years ago... But it's the closest I can come up with...

Thanks for the advice. I have not tried a furminator yet. Ryder is a little over a year old. He has a great personality. He does bark. I don't think he sings though.
He loves rawhide bones. He'll toss them in the air and chase after them to keep himself occupied.

darn it Flame... i thought you said you were posting this in the After Hours Forum. 
if we're behaving ourselves...
here's a favorite thing of mine, which hangs right outside my office.
it belonged to my grandmother and i'm sure at one time, this French bond was worth some interest in the Panama Canal.
it's a raggedy ol' mess, but i still love it.

This was a Christmas gift from my brother last yearHe finds driftwood. No embellishments on this piece if you can believe it! I keep it in my Curio cabinet and sometimes people notice it, so it is fun when they do.
... this all makes sense now
:ROFLMAO:
i had a similar thought when i saw Suz's second pic....
it looked like a petrified foot to me.

Thanks for the compliments on my droid guys. :U Rock:
It is pretty much spot on 100% accurate. I've been involved in a R2 Builders community for over a decade and this is my second and hopefully final build.
He doesn't do more than what he did in the video. My friends have droids that do the 2-3-2 leg conversions (like in the movies) and have all the probes that pop out of him as seen in the movie.
I however. Have two kids and a small business to run. I don't have that kind of time. When I start working on projects my wife gets kinda' irritated.
He's been to my kids pre-school and I would like to get him to a children's hospital for a visit as well.
He weighs around 150 lbs and runs on wheelchair motors so he's a beast.
I love that costume Robby. You did a great job. I would have killed for one of those when I was a kid.
This is what I'm working on now. The picture is not mine. I'm not that far along, but should be at this point by the end of 2012. (sorry the image isn't rotated on my machine. I don't know why it's rotated. )

I was never much into halloween as a kid, but a few years back my son wanted to be an astronaut and noone sold astronaut costumes. Each year they get more elaborate. This year he was Tron (New legacy costumes. theres a vid for it on that account on youtube also). They are elaborate, but always on the cheap since he outgrows them so quickly.
I remember while researching r2d2, finding a site where guys were doing their r2d2 builds, and reading about all the machining being done. I was very impressed with the attention to detail.
That Batmobile would be one amazing build! If only I had the space for such a project! You should definately start a thread showing your progress (If you haven't already)

I too have a year old Corgi that we rescued and he does the same thing. He tosses his toys all over the place then chases them. It's quite humourous to watch.
He really likes knawing on deer antlers and can sit for hours with them. Thanks for the tips guys about the furminator, I going to get one.
I can honestly say that more than a few Corgi hairs have been found in my laminations as he too comes to work every day with me.
here is one of his favorite positions...
Here is also a pic of the oddity here at my shop.
It is a Captain Kirk Plastic doll I found out by my garbage a few years ago. I decided to keep him...so what if his legs are missing!!!

How the heck did you know he used to do a lot of that? Haha! It had a permanent effect (affect?) on him, I think! But then again, he was like that far before the partaking business.
Guess he'll always be that way, doesn't change much. He is probably the sweetest guy on earth. Smart and creative. He builds airplanes too, built them out of wood in his earlier years. Now building them with metal. By the way, I have seven brothers. Lots of stories there!
... this all makes sense now
That is so funny!!! Yes, I remember hearing the news about the washed up feet with the shoes and the boots. Crazy stuff there! Crazier than my Crazy Brother!
RobbyMac, I love the kids costume !!! My oldest Grandson would absolutely flip over that. Fun!!

Doug, that is correct, the SyQuest was a great invention for us graphic artist in the mid 80's, I was using a Mac computer and we needed some way to transfer our large QuarkXPress and Aldus PageMaker graphics files to the offset printing industry, and this was about the only way back then.
We also used the SyQest removable hard drives as back-up and archive storage, I have quite a few of the 88MB cartridges, later they came out with 200MB cartridges, pretty sure I have transferred all the data from them to CD-R a while back.
FTP was very slow back then, and later in the mid 90's CD-R, ZIP and JAZ came along and SyQuest died out.
I'm one of those guys that finds it hard to get rid of the old, so I have quite a collection, still have my first Mac purchased in the mid 80's. Maybe it's a collectible now and I can finally get my $2,600.00 back?
