Super Star Dave blind folded Tri-locking

[bimmridder]

Tony, are you talking about the one with contact points, kind of an angled box, with cool red lights?

[screenprintguy]

Sorry, I see Dave's accomplishments and the successful team and business he leads at Bimmrider and consider him to be a super star. His knowledge has helped us tremendously. As the owner of a small shop, with a smaller staff, we produce and flow like a shop 2 to 3 times our size due to proven systems and knowledge Dave has graciously passed on to us. So to me, he is a superstar

Guys, it was just for FUN!!!! M&R was here making some video on the CIID. The subject came up, so we had some fun. No stop watches, no bean counters, no micrometers (no beer  ), just a little fun.

I didn't say he wasn't a super star for reasons you just mentioned, i am talking about a dude walking around a press pulling a screen tight to the blocks and hitting clamps. Anyone can do that on this board anyone. In fact on my press I have little membrane buttons I have to push for the clamps so I am never looking at the screen when I hit the clamp buttons.

And I did say it was cool and fun. Next video he can tie one hand behind his back, hold thre screen with his other and hit the toggles with his nose.

Uh OK I forget any conversation with you has to do solely about money. Excuse my misunderstanding.

I am miserable and crotchety these days, I have been in chronic pain for over two months now and I have major back surgery coming up in the fall. All I can say is I am not looking forward to it not one bit, they are repairing spinal stenosis in my lower back something that has been an issue for a decade now but up until this summer I have gotten by. The surgery is going through my lower gut as well as my back and it scares the crap out of me. The reason I have procrastinated it for so many years is because any one I know that has had surgery always comes out with something wrong, infections, unsuccessful repair, more damage etc. I am confident I will be a better man once its done tho i am worried irreversible damage is already done.

Dave its been so long I don't remeber it all but it was a big box that traveled from head to head. It used optic lasers and tiny motors to position the screens. It required air also so a ginormous air line was needed to allow it to travel around the circumference of a 14 clr. Not only over engineered but it didn't work. Scheduling dept had to actually add an hour to the set-up time allowance. The Tri-lock has proven to be an elegantly simple solution

[screenprintguy]

Speaking of Elegance, the ISS we recently had in Orlando we saw the "newer" tri-lock pallet, half the size or less. seriously considering having ours cut down as it seemed to be a lot less of a back breaker to move around all day long on a day with a bunch of set ups.

Anyone remember the predecessor to the Tri Lock? It was........not fun.

Yep.  Had it at Starter.  Never worked.  Weighed a ton.

[bimmridder]

I know the one you're talking about Tony. The one I'm talking about was before that one even. Didn't that one have to be on perfectly flat floors? Used reflective tape? I remember looking at it....once.

[tonypep]

Yes to both. Nice sample machine
