  • I think TAP Plastics is one of my favorite stores in the bay area. they are really polite and easy to work with, the prices dont seem too high, and they will easily give a discount on junk from the scrap bin. i'll probably start using their online store if i need plastic stuff for projects.

    The plastic store is really nice. I just did a video on getting my lathe and milling machine back in action and machining plastic can be a lot of fun. Hard to find a store like that here in NW Ohio. I know they have that online but it's cool to go into the store and actually check it out.
    Take care.

      Hey Spencer, I have an old Craftsman 109 6x12 from about 1955 and a newer style Sherline mill. They are both small but are great for hobbyist.

    $.30 a sheet? Not bad? That's a steal! I wish I had a tap plastics near me. most of the projects i make with plastic sheet material is on the smaller side to begin with. full sheets down at the local home depot add up quuuuick.

      yeah i've never been able to go to TAP without buying at least one thing from the scrap bin. especially when they have special colored plastics in there like clear neon orange and whatnot.

    That black box & 5:40 would make an excellent battery/controller container! ?!? What you think ?!?!?! 😃☇

    • @RinoaL
      @RinoaL  8 років тому +2

      yeah maybe. my batteries are too big for that though. haha

      could have them make it for you tho...even with slots for charge controllers and such
      was thinking of this in regards to your electric tricycle

    That's exactly where I'm gonna be going soon to get plastic material to make new walls for my ebike's battery pack... BTW, too bad you left the neighborhood before trying out my 2WD ebike. You'da loved the acceleration...

    Yep, TAP Plastics is an awesome store. When I was in high school, you used to be able to go out back and get the cutoffs out of the garbage bin. I guess we ruined it for everybody by demonstrating there was a demand for little 4"x12" scraps to enclose random projects.
    Bravo for finding D.J. Trump Jr.'s poison Skittles at 04:23.

    When you opened the browser and started searching I was really confused for a second before I realized I was still watching the video.

      well i only do one doctor visit a year now. so i think i'll use that as a good excuse to come visit the bay for a week or two every June. other than that and the cost of the medication, it doesnt change all that much.

    10 bucks for a 440 grams of plasteline - isn`t that expensive? Here in Bulgaria they sell it at toy stores for half the price.

    • @fredlllll
      @fredlllll 8 років тому

      hah yeah the modpacks are sadly still stuck on old versions. annoys me to no end sometimes, cause we miss all the performance improvements of the newer versions.
