Who pays for this?! $2,600 for a light, and you have to wait 2 months to get it!

Some time ago, when lasers seemed to be everywhere, you used to be able to
get a kind of 3d column light which as you walked around it the hologram of a young lady disrobed. It was all in a peculiar greeny blue colour. I guess it goes under the name of expensive novelty, and sex sells as we all know. Probably seen as very tacky today though. I often wondered how it was done.

I tried to search for that, but search engines don't seem to work right. If I search using three key words, why do I get results with only two of those words? One of the words I used was obviously "hologram", but I just got links to news articles of people stripping naked at an airport.
I did find this cool video (sorry Brian) showing holograms live on stage of people who aren't alive any more, or lions that seem real: https://youtu.be/1pjZ98p9k3c On Mon, 03 Aug 2020 07:44:47 +0100, Brian Gaff (Sofa) wrote: Some time ago, when lasers seemed to be everywhere, you used to be able to get a kind of 3d column light which as you walked around it the hologram of a young lady disrobed.

I didn't notice "brass" and "magnet" there! Still, a magnet will be strong enough to hold the light in place. But bump it with something and it will fall.

This is why we should not call things like speed limits a law, they're rules. Laws cannot be broken, like gravity. But rules shouldn't be broken but can.

I can pick mine up with one hand (before fitting it obviously). Not all baths are made of plastic. I get a bunch of hits when I google for cast iron bath tub. You'll get a bunch of hits for vintage cars too, doesn't mean they're a good idea. I don't have a bath anymore. My 152 cm by 81 cm shower base is cast acrylic and weighs a lot. Maybe close to 50 kilograms; I can't quite remember how much effort it was to fit it. A lot, but my husband did most of the work. I have a bath but not for bathing in. Yeah, you poms have always kept the coal in it. That's why you are so smelly. |
The Two Inseparable Trolling Resident Sociopaths together again!

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: FLUSH the two subnormal sociopathic cretins' endless absolutely idiotic blather -- Another typical retarded "conversation" between Birdbrain and senile Rodent: Senile Rodent: " Did you ever dig a hole to bury your own ****?" Birdbrain: "I do if there's no flush toilet around." Senile Rodent: "Yeah, I prefer camping like that, off by myself with no dunnys around and have always buried the ****." MID: |

The last one I removed went out in pieces after scoring it with an angle grinder and smacking it with a sledge hammer Jumpin' in here ... our cast iron tub was made in 1911 , and could probably be busted up with a sledge hammer . If you could get past my wife ! As far as the lighting , I could fabricate that in my shop . The light segments might be problematic , but I think if one could string the segments together in series and use a current-limited voltage variable power supply it would work just fine . Would have to use dimmable LED's ... -- Snag |

It isn't well written at all, but they didn't say it was _only_ brass nor that the brass was a solid bar; only that the brass itself is solid brass, not plated. Clearly, although the pictures are contrived to not show, the brass has to be tubing that covers the structural components which include the magnets and all... -- I could fabricate the structural components in my shop . The hardest part would be slotting the brass tubing . -- Snag |
