It's Scout Saturday!
Good morning
Good morning
Here ya go hoppy I did a Friday night pizza guy copy and paste for you
Here's why different metals at the same gauge can have different thicknesses:
- Origin of the Gauge System: The gauge system originated from the number of times a piece of metal was passed through a rolling mill to reduce its thickness. Different metals have different properties (like density and malleability) and therefore respond differently to the rolling process.
- Material Properties: Each type of metal has its own unique properties, such as density and strength. For example, stainless steel is denser and stronger than aluminum, so a sheet of stainless steel of the same gauge number will be thicker than a sheet of aluminum.
- Historical Development of Standards: Different gauge standards were developed over time for various metals, further contributing to the discrepancies in thickness at the same gauge number.
Example
- 10-gauge stainless steel is 0.141" thick.
- 10-gauge aluminum is 0.102" thick.
- When working with different types of metal, it's crucial to refer to the specific gauge chart for each metal or, even better, use decimal thickness measurements to avoid confusion and ensure accuracy.
- Always confirm physical measurements with a caliper or gauge wheel.
I am pretty happy with that stamper. Think I found a guy that will make me a embossing stamp from a sample. That will go in a die in the press. Now Tags to get made.
Looks like a nice one Ray.
Will do the letters properly. Had to buy 5 different dies!
Good morning all and welcome to the weekend

Little metallic tags that say GO F%^& YOURSELF
There could be a retail market for such EBay here you come!
I can do that for sure. They should look right not like this that is engraved and also $80
Check,
Check
And check.
I also downloaded my entire file, all 3800 pages worth and my medical files, all 5300 pages worth to a CD. Supply records and all too.
Thanks but I didn’t do much of anything really. At least nothing that made any impact anywhere
Getting a die to emboss from the back will be a challenge.
Agree
This was sold for $1800 NOS Lipstick on a pig, it was seriously not right.
Everything you do has an impact.
Yes it does!
OK I'm out for now.
Have fun.
