jpc Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Now you must explain why you are doing that to this poor half crab? Is it because he is only half there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelivingdead531 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 As much as crustaceans freak me out, I have to ask the same question. The curiosity has gotten the better of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I don't see the point either. Now I'm really curious to find out why you are doing this. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ix Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Well, the only answer is "because I wanted to" see one sectioned... It wasnt worth prepping so I was curious, and also thinking it will help fellow preppers orientate crabs... I'll tidy up the slabs and post the sections.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I think If you are polishing them it would definitely be an interesting piece . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6ix Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Yep, definately going to polish each side.. I should re title the tread too sorry, I was listening to the band sublime as I started... and it kinda stuck with me. If I can figure out how to get my old canon lide20 scanner working on windows 10 I'll scan each slice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6ix Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Watch this space, its friday night here for a long weekend. If I cant get that scanner going, I'll have a go at polishing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Mud Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Tumido drink coasters!!! Love it. Reminds me of the visible human project. They froze someone solid (after they died first) then sliced off very thin slices photographing each one. It’s a bit like the virtual slices from a CT scan. With thin enough slices you could make a 3D model of a crab 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ix Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Okay, sorry about the long wait for an update.. Ended up bleeding from stupidity, holding the angle grinder with a velcro backed diamond pad trying to polish them up. Then spent a few days trying to get my old LIDE 20 scanner working on window 10 (pro tip - you cant) So I just put windows Xp on an old laptop, and got the scanner going - next stage is to properly mount the slices and polish them without spraying blood all over them. I'm getting there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, get back to work!

6ix Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 @Ptychodus04 I agree 100% just need a better way to stabilize them as I polish... Believe it or not, it was the velcro pad sides that did more damage to me than the diamond pad... those things are nasty at 12k rpm. Another free day tomorrow, so I may get a little further - look out for an update. I really want to just cheat and varnish them tho.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like a chihuahua, you think it’s innocent until it rips you to shreds.
