Time lapse? Seriously? Dude, that looks like me on a day when Im feelin kinda puny...


Thats was cool, man. How many days are on that video?


When I was a young teen, Johnny Carson had a new studio built. He had a time lapse done of it. Every day, there was this one guy, sat in the same place & read his paper at lunch..
Man, those guys are FAST..

yes, next time use aircraft stripper to remove the coating on the cases. takes just a couple of coats and almost all will come off. use a soft sanding pad to remove the rest and take out any blemishes. You can then polish the casing on a buffing wheel and make the casings look like chrome. Pretty simple and fast

I started the saturday before Thanksgiving.  After I sped it up I cut out a lot of the footage.  Total time would be running around an hour and a half and that's at 8x speed.  

I love watching those time lapse wide shots that make people look like ants.  Gives you a funny perspective on people.

I made this mistake the first time in February.  Thankfully this time I only had to get rid of the oxidization.  There's still a ton of the clear coat and grime stuck in the fins which I would love to blast with aircraft stripper but I hear that it eats bare aluminum for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  I think I'm gonna attach my brass brush to a sawzall blade and go at the nooks and crannies.  Cheesy
