lol wasn't trying to worry you. I just know there are a lot of people out there that aren't as cautious as they should be...I used to be one of them. Thought I would add a scary(but true) warning for anyone that might read the thread that isn't up to par on their safety precautions.
Carbon fiber is a great material and I do work it from time to time. I just want to make sure everyone is safe when working it.
One thing to watch for when buying carbon fiber on Ebay.....there are some people out there selling a carbon fiber/wood composite and marketing it as "carbon fiber sheet" Basically its a layer of lightweight wood with a sheet of carbon fiber glued overtop of it. Good for some applications but not what most makers are looking for. Another one that isn't as bad but still isn't pure carbon is where they take a sheet of fiberglass or Micarta-like material and epoxy a layer of carbon fiber over it. Much lower prices on both items but it's not pure carbon fiber.
