Sorry for the delayed responses.
How did you attach the pencils? Was it glue or tape? How has it held up. IF I get a certificate, I'm hoping to do something similar.
I used clear silicone glue (from a caulking gun actually). Two "dots" each pencil at the contact points (one at the bulgy part of the rubber grip and one at the top of the pencil near the top of the clip). It's going on two years and it has held up just fine.
ptatohed, I assume that you placed pencils outside, but did you use super glue on the glass? I want to do something like that... it looks great!
It's hard to see the glass in the pictures but I assure you the pencils are behind the glass (and not touching the glass - there is about 1mm of air space). This is why I said "fitting 3D objects in a 2D frame".
Anyone has October 2013 pencils ?
It's red.
October 2012 - Green
April 2013 - Blue
October 2013 - Red
I am looking for pencil from October 2013 to frame with my PE license. Anyone want to sell or make a donation?
Any luck chiko?
Thats VERY cool! So can you share...how did you make it work? 3D pencils in 2D frame?
It's hard to put in words. If you remind me, I'll try to take some pics of the back side. Imagine a regular picture frame, back side. You have a cardboard backing that sits inside, right? Maybe half-way into the frame? And you have little tabs that swivel to lock the backing in place and keep the picture up against the glass? Well, I moved my backing to the very back of the frame. I put skinny foam around the inside perimeter of the frame to push the glass forward and the backing back. I then used screws with washers to lock the backing in place. Sorry, hard to explain.
Nice job! How did you mount the pencils?
Clear silicone glue. See above.
Wouldn't it make more sense to write what your PM breadth section was instead of 8 hour, next to NCEES?
But yeah this is enginerdness to the max - AWESOME and congrats!
I'm not sure that it "would make more sense"! That sounds like a preference to me. So, while it might be your preference, it was not mine and, thus, I do not agree that it "would make more sense".
The Civil NCEES 8-hour is the NCEES 8-hour, it doesn't matter which depth module you take. I took three Civil PE exams (CA Seismic, CA Survey, and NCEES 8-hr) and thus labeled each pencil by the name of the exam.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments.
