Im about 6'2'' and I can reach the peg board, it is a tad tall but it's a bit late now.


Easy enough to cut a couple inches off the bottom of the legs if you wanted.

just wrote a really long story but somehow I closed the tab FML
so heres another,

I made a titanium bracelet for my gf as a gift for valentines
tube I used  was 70x4mm
had the lathe guy at work turn it down, till the outside was smooth, then he removed material from the inside till it was ~ 2mm thick, so the ID is around 65mm. its 25mm "high"
not the best job as there are some scratches on the outer side, but we build ships not jewelry.

anodizing titanium is really easy
all you need is some 9V batteries , clean water, baking soda and some copper wire and plastic bowl or something like that.
copper wire is like a lasso in the bottom of the solution and one end is connected to negative side , other wire is connected to the positive and the titanium piece

started with 8 batteries , dipped at a certain angle for 5 or so seconds , FIZZLY FIZZLY
removed 2 batteries, dipped at a certain angle and so on, till I used 2 , this gives a golden colour and a smaller V will not overanodize the rest.

pics
this is a test to see which colours appear with x voltage and so you can understand how I did it.



this is the braclet from different angles








I hope she likes it :)

trying to figure out how you got the curved lines instead of straight if you were dipping it into something.

either way, really cool.

it should fit over her hand like this, because the one I took a measurement from was only 1mm bigger ID

What voltage did you use to get the gold and blue colors?

He started with 8 batteries (= 72 V), then went on to 6 (= 54 V), 4 (= 36 V) and then 2 (= 18 V). He claims 2 batteries, thus 18 Volt, did the gold. One of the other three (72, 54 or 36 Volts) should do the blue. The left over two should account for the purple and the other not very distinct color (light blueish?).

gold was the best with 2 x 9V . blue is the bluest with 4x 9V
there are charts in google, but mine wasn't according to it though, must be from different electrolytes, trial and error is the best way to be sure.
