Grandpa Likes To Squeeze Stuff: Solventless Extracts, Rosin, Pressed Here!

Salt, are/were you a machinist? I ran a machine shop for a few yrs. It was much more fun when I was just a machinist. All the middle management crap sucked all the fun/life outta that job. I really enjoyed machining.

No, I'm not a machinist. I did take it way back in high school, and co-wrote TurboCNC 4.0. I do have a CNC Sherline mill and lathe so I do a little machining.
 
Quick question if you tear the parchment paper can I use like rubbing alcohol to clean the residue on the heating element or is there anything I should use for clean up. Also, I am using Reynolds for the time being and am wondering if doubling up would help at all or is ill advised? Thanks! I finally have everything I need and I'm planning on squishing some now. Ordered a Kandypen crystal for vaping. Super excited!
 
Not bad for a first time! 6.9 gram puck. I used larf from my freshly cured white widow. I used the dab press prepress and no bag this time. I haven't been able to weigh the results as it was super sticky but it came right off the Reynolds paper. I'll be curious to see what it comes out to but I am happy. 190F for maybe a minute and a half

The ONLY thing I dont like about pressing rosin is that it does seem to burn through my stash much quicker than smoking straight flower.

Yeah but one or 2 dabs and I’m good for 4 hours whereas I’d smoke a joint every 30-60 mins .. healthier alternative for me to be sure and I actually consume less in the big picture ...

Nah, you're not a machinist.... you only wrote the book! :adore:

I'm not worthy.... LOL

Yes, I did write the book for TurboCNC.

There's a lot of math and other processing done by the computer when it converts the commands a machinist uses to define the part to those used to move the machine to make the part. There's a huge difference between knowing how something works, and actually knowing how to use it. I didn't need to know metallurgy or how to compute feed rates to write the code. A machinist doesn't need to know how to calculate and limit speed or acceleration especially through arcs to make a part. I just provided another tool for machinists to use.

I get what you're saying. I've run CNC as well as manual machining over that ten yr stretch. I'm still very impressed!
