Re: [meteorite-list] 1cm scale cube available
Holding out for a scale cubit... That could be cumbersome to use, especially in the field. Perhaps, but it would be nice to find a meteorite that was big enough to NEED a scale cubit! :-) Drake Drake Doc Dameräu L3CC Member www.nepra.com www.rocketmaterials.org http://home.sprynet.com/~monel/ __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] 1cm scale cube available
Yes, I just wanted to chime in to agree with Tom, Drake's cm scale cube is a beauty in its own right. A very nice visual aid for your photos, indeed! Like Tom also mentioned, the documentation that came along with the cube is definitely a very nice added bonus -- top notch and professional. Very well done, Drake -- Thanks!

Re: [meteorite-list] 1cm scale cube available
Thank you, everyone for all the positive comments and emails. This project has been quite an experience. I have sent cubes to 6 countries! So far, I have one one dissatisfied customer. (A fossil collector) They thought that the cubes were 1 inch rather than 1cm. I am in the middle of making 1 cubes, but they will cost significantly more. The precession ground blocks I am using cost me over $40 each. (Pray for no scrap!) Thanks again to all who supported me on this!

Re: [meteorite-list] 1cm scale cube available
Hi, All, Holding out for a scale cubit... Hmm. Got some questions about that... A scale cubit? Assuming a traditional Biblical cubit, which is 457.2 mm, a scale cubit cube of tool grade aluminum (at 2740 kilograms per cubic meter), would weigh 261.86 kg, or about 575 pounds! That could be cumbersome to use, especially in the field. Sterling K.

Hi Joe, you´r kidding, aren´t you? 25$ each How about those: http://cgi.ebay.com/10-Neodymium-Magnets-10mm-Cube-N48-Rare-Earth_W0QQitemZ160148882480 Stefan Hello everyone, I have been looking all over for a 1cm scale cube.

Re: [meteorite-list] 1cm scale cube available
There is another option. The cubes I promised a month ago came back from the anodizer on Thursday. The letters are being filled with enamel today. They will be ready for shipping on Monday. I'll email pictures to those that are interested. For those that missed the posts, they are 6061 T6 aluminum, the letters are cold formed into the cubes, and anodized. Each cube comes with a protective case. They are $25.00 + shipping etc. Here's some bad news. If you are one of the people that reserved one, I will need your information again. My HDD crashed and I lost all that info. Here's the worst news: I'm using Vista now. :-( Drake Drake Doc Dameräu L3CC Member www.nepra.com www.rocketmaterials.org http://home.sprynet.com/~monel/ - Original Message - From: Stefan Brandes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2007 4:30 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] 1cm scale cube available Hi Joe, you´r kidding, aren´t you? 25$ each How about those: http://cgi.ebay.com/10-Neodymium-Magnets-10mm-Cube-N48-Rare-Earth_W0QQitemZ160148882480 Stefan Hello everyone, I have been looking all over for a 1cm scale cube.

Re: [meteorite-list] 1cm scale cube available
Hello List, These are the first 1cm Scale cubes made from Neodymium Magnets for the purpose of taking photos of meteorites. These are grade N35 and are coated with black nickel. I had these specially made to my specs. These are available for $10 each. The reason I chose Grade N35 is so that that do not smack the meteorite or any other metal with enough force to shatter them, if they were any higher they would not last. These should last many years. The reason I chose the black nickel coating is so that it will not create a glare in the photos like a silver one would. I am looking into having the standard 6 letters. I am working on a way to make it so they do not get worn away over time. Neodymium is hard to have cut or engraved and it shatters when struck with the force it takes to use a punch. Which is why I am only selling them for $10 each right now, once I succeed in getting letters on them that will be durable enough to last the life of the cube, they will be $20 each.
