Ben: Bar with a sink.

Falcon:

They have a lid that blends into the wall, you'd open it by flipping it up.

What do you all think about those glass table tanks?
I think they're a cool concept but my cats would have a feast.

Falcon - It is said that a famous Jedi Master once spoke the following words : "Weight matters not..."

 

what he said

 

And how many Stone is that, Tim ?

 

What are we talking about here?

 

not when it comes to a tank full of water and glass...

 

when the force is your ally....

 

I never saw a stand with wheels before probably never will either

 

Just less than one for us, Ben -- don't know US stones without looking them up!

BTW, don't forget the weight of the tank itself (especially if it's glass)!

 

Excuse me,but what are you guys talking about???? Math? US math?

 

I meant something more elaborate and motorized that moved on a track in the floor that the tank would sit on. "Wheels" was a not so subtle metaphor.

I agree.

14 pounds US and 6.35 something kg. I know this because I recently made a joke about using "Stone" as a weight measurement that no one got on here a few weeks ago or so.

 

Yeah, you guys are talking about US and UK math.

 

Measurements, so kinda mathy, apologies.

 

as long as you do your research but as for myself, I would be reluctant to do so. I would be worried about creating stress fractures and a tank full of water something like that never ends well.

24 years of experience thinks that one through and dang it

The fish I have now is worth 70 bucks in a store and I got him for 8 bucks when he was just a small little guy

 

Same poundage for a 'Stone' for both of us then (although the US and Imp 'pounds' differ -- and 'Stones''re sometimes still used in conversation here as a measure of weight, even though we've officially gone metric!

 

It's okey. Apology accepted.
US and UK measurements then. Still math for me.

 

I will keep that in mind

 

I just don't want to see you have a disaster on your hands

 

I try to keep disaster to a minimum while working tirelessly to make things as interesting as possible.

 

Possible if money was no object, maybe, but not really practical.

 

good to hear Ben

 

Ben, these things:

were in use when I started my first job (but they've been replaced with powered pallet-movers these days). The loaded pallets weighed well over a ton!

 

Powered pallet movers scare me !

I used to work in a warehouse that had 20 or so of them moving about all the time !

 

The guys in warehouses where I worked used to hold races! PPMs, conventional Forklifts and sideshift Forklifts!

 

I remember those...

I'm just glad I didn't get skewered by one
