rafiqos, i think you can make one too and lotsa fun there if the facility is there..

I'll be spraying base oxide and then a blue Epoxy. Epoxy is one expensive and chemically resistant paint. Btw, everything will be blue in colour, including the mesh, if i can get, should go with my favourite colour.

For cable ties, i have with me now 2 bags imported stainless steel cable ties. This is rather diffucult to get and quite pricey.

I will conceal the SS cable ties with aluminium plate later as much as possible to look neater.

After i have done with all the metal work in this 2008, look forward to proceed with wood work and sewing work for the interior design. That will be 2009 project. hehe..

It will then be a great "suggie snugly home.." hehe

Added on June 3, 2008, 4:45 pmThe key to welding it precisely is by securing the pieces with tapes first.

Then measure all the diagonals by using Pythagoras Theorem, A square + B square = C square.

If the diagonals do not match, then the precision is out.

rafiqos,
When i weld a straight line, i move my hand in this motion"///////////" insted of "----------" so that two seperate pieces can be attached together better and the weld spread out more evenly. Try this!

A little left or right movement makes it better..i will post a pix of that welded area using such stroke for your comment, hope tmrw. This style may not be applicable to you.

But rafiqos, i want to add on, each people have different styles in welding, some like to bend their weld rod, some perform better by sitting on chair or clasping their arm close to their feet. Some would slant their weld rod slightly a bit left etc..

But most important, it produce good result.

What's your style? Hehe..

Why gliders are designed to have wings/gliding membrane that have short wing span (wing length) and a long wing chord (wing breath)?

How come long distance bird has long and narrow wings?

Have you wonder why? Here's the reason for the difference.

Generally gliding animals have low aspect ratio (wing length/wing breath).
Longer wing span (length) is more efficient in terms of speed as they suffer less induced drag (drag is the opposition to forward movement).
Long wing span is what is desirable in the design of airplanes for faster speed.

Long distance birds need to travel fast with less induced drag. They can't have short wing span.
Therefore we see that gliders usually travel at slow speed because they have a short wing span.

However, the long wings mean that the long-winged bird has a greater moment of inertia about its longitudinal axis and therefore cannot roll as quickly and is less maneuverable.
In contrary, glider has less longitudinal moment of inertia, therefore it is more flexible in directing the wing to be tilted slightly up or down.
And also with the added advantage of the tail being a "rudder" instrement.

A glider usually fall very slowly during gliding..Why?
Since the amount of lift that a wing generates is proportional to the area of the wing, gliders who have short span (length) of gliding membrane must correspondingly have a longer chord (breath), to generate a greater lift that will prevent it from falling quickly..

The larger the area of the wing, the greater the lift, the slower the fall.

Great to know this interesting aerodynamic aspect of a glider

I would like to appeal to the sugar glider community, whereby i'm earnestly looking for someone who resides near Bkt Jalil area, who keen to earn extra income taking care of my gliders and pets when i have to be away sometimes.

Any interested and responsible individual can pm me

It's time to RESHUFFLE my timetable! So that i will be able to keep up with the pace of the forum talk. Haha..

Great. Take your time to consider. I won't give up on searching as well..thanks.

Hun, i remember once you were searching for accessory to fasten your two cages together, sth like that la..so how it is now?

Actually, this accessory i can't find here, it's the J-clips. The picture is as below. It comes with J-clips plier.

That is why i use stainless steel cable ties, need to import, here too don't have.


I think we can order it from this site:

This week i will go buy some shrimp or chicken and boil it for my glider as extra protein. Shrimp can be kept longer than chicken and cooks'tfaster than chicken. Isn't it? Shrimp can be kept for months with no problem but should avoid that, just to preserve the freshness. If there's drawback with shrimp meal, give me a hint.

Ok ..good nite to all late nite folks

Dear sifu rafiqos..
An example of a weld bed using "/////" stroke, how's this? ok?


I grind it to be smooth..like this..


OK.. i know it's off topic

ggMIng, here's the pix of making my glider cage.
I don't know if later they protest," Hey, where's the cute cute smiley face suggie, what's this heavy duty crap?"

Welding glider cage is not difficult, need some practise and space and equipment.

When i return from my trip, then go check it out myself, thanks.

Your dictionary says, "Your pets are never forsaken because they are yours."

This is a principle that we need to hold on to. It's my principle that helps me not to be swayed away when i see nicer ones and tempted to sell.

It is COMMITMENT that we make, just like marriage, a more severe compatible comparison.

It's RELATIONSHIP. Giving up your pet is never a happy occasion, speaking from my experience of giving them up once. It's very heart breaking. After that, i say to myself, no second time again.

I remember Koochee.. spel'it gliders.

She should be commended because in the circumstance where her gliders were underaged and looked extremely weak once upon a time, she never forsake them.

Added on June 5, 2008, 6:49 pmWe should not forsake them unless we don't love them.

But another thing is that, we shouldn't have favoritism towards our animals. Some animals do exhibit jealousy.

We should treat all the same and fair regardless how they bahave. Favouristism is betraying the pet.

They have instinct and sense, they will know and react to unloved.

Yeah la..poor abandoned unwanted animals. Fortunately there are someone or institution to adopt them.

If i need a dog in future, i think i know where i should go adopt it.

Hope that don't let me come across "abandoned sugar glider" here, else it will grieve me, hehe..

Thanks for your sharing munchan..

Wow, you have pics of joey in pouch! But.. oh oh site error..

I can imagine, can't post pic, can't view site, this must be annoying.

Tell ya sth..

Just now when i was trying to post pix, i encountered bluetooth problem. After settled that for one hour, finally i can load pix.

Half way typing the message, suddenly, the electricity shut off... then.. i had to wait..

When the electricity recovered, i was so happy and continued. When i clicked post message, my phone line was not working! Modem had no signal.

Finally, i went to sleep.

Somtimes, it can be very frustrating..haha

Thanks Munchan for the link, lovely joeys..

I agree with Hun, the latter cage setup messy..

Hai... i thought only machinery needs to prepare manual. But i need to prepare pets manual in BM too! What on earth.

This is to help provide steps and instructions to my driver who is my temporary caretaker of my pets when i'm away..

You know Hun..when you keep that much of pets, you will keep up with your chopping skills too..hehe

Added on June 8, 2008, 8:38 pmYeah, Hun, if i don't chop it to fine pieces, you know what my gliders going to do?

They will fling the pieces of whatever in their small lil hands to wherever... so that's why la..

go to photobucket.com or imageshack.com or whatever ..

then choose file to upload and click upload image..

Wow.. i can see your determination to get SLURP really like "salmon fish"..haha..

depsite the opposite flow of upstream journey, they have one goal one mind...

As far as i know, Pet Shack is almost like Mars and earth..to you, and Hun too!

Pity..

your gliders like what we are now, in the midst of food crisis..

Very aptly you called your gliders "master"...

We, supposed to be their master, now looks more like servants ..

Haha..nice day:)
