climbingtrash, meet a can of worms.
it's the rough plug mould for an ice tool handle on a blank that fits trango tools and the start of a composite mould.
see, to make the final mould you need to make basically the final product before you actually lay any laminate, but you make it out of wood (or foam, or steel or aluminum, but wood is good for this application). after you make the wood/foam/al mould you have what's called a plug mould and you can then make the moulds that the laminate is going to sit in. Bascially you make a copy of the outside of the mould so when you lay the laminate you get the same as you had initially.
yar
that be it.

hobby.
i can't make any money doing it, but it feeds my passion of figuring how to build something and make it better, etc.
if you have more questions about the whole thing let me know and I'll inform you as well as i can!
:D

Here's mine, I just went OCD and made a new storage system a few hours ago. There is another #3 and BD nut set elsewhere.
Its around 15-20 lbs and costs more than when I stopped counting at $1000
22 assorted draws
2 of each C4 .5-3; 1 C4 #4 and #5
1 Black, Blue and Green Alien
1.5 BD nut sets
7 assorted lockers
Couple hexes
ATC/xp/guide
Trango (I think "Shark") Nut tool WITH knife; Oh yah, a knife on a useful tool, You know I'll buy it.
Unfortunately it isn't done quite yet, but is it really ever finished? fortunately Christmas is soonish and that will finish my current wants and needs.

In reply to: Well, I finally accumulated a decent rack and I can put a picture (poor quality, sorry) of it on here instead of drooling over everyone else's. Everything except the sport junk: draws, ropes, shoes, etc... This rack will get a person up most climbs unless they're ultra splitter or really wide. http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=80248 BD camalots .75 - 3 Metolius power cams 2 - 8 rigid friends #3 & 4 DMM .5 Set of Metolius Curved Hexes Set of ABC nuts with doubles in a few sizes 3 smallest tricams A bunch of draws and biners
nice hexes!!!
:D
why is the pic so bad!?

Nope, mostly Trango classics but a I have a few BD Livewires, the blue ones, and a few hotwires. Bought them from someone on this site a while back. They're pretty nice.

notice that you can't see the actual carbon weave and pretty clearcoat or anything like that. Well, the gentleman that wanted these is putting his own coating on them and needed them roughed up, so they are.

This was taken last year, minus my ABC nuts, and the .5 to 2 C4 I bought this summer. I like it simple!
C4's are the only way I would go, they work better than any other cam and are relatively light .

You have to link to the image, not the whole page... :wink:
Edit, stoked to see another Lowe Ball lover here in NZ! Where in Kiwiland are you based (just out of curiosity)?

Thanks for that. :oops:
The Lowe Balls are awesome. Most the times I use them where a normal nut would suffice but they are good fun.
I'm based in Auckland(unfortunately). I mainly climb at mt eden quarry, out of convenience, so most of the cams are too large and haven't been used. The biggest i've used is a #2 friend.
I hope to migrate to the south is. once I finish my degree; or at least get down there to check out the seen.

Yeah, most of it was in one hit. I had to split my orders to get it through customs without paying tax. I ordered it from the US (saving at least 30% on local prices). I've had it for a month or two. All the small stuff has been used. Mainly the rocks, micros and zeros where I climb.
All thanks to my student loan :wink:

customs is rubbish. But one hit would be a LARGE sum of money!!! Student loans are an interesting thing....especially when you spend them on "school" and "educating yourself"
how do you like them there zeros???
