I've seen some of her other projects,she's got skills.

 

Merry Christmas everyone!
Parents hooked me up with a dope solar watch I was looking at

 

Now we're talkin". We'll talk when I can get my friends' trailer.

 

I think you missed the joke there Tom

 

Honestly, you’re going to want to wait for me to practice on some thinner metal first.

I’ve been welding 1/4” and 3/16” so far. That’s pretty forgiving. Especially, with a 110 welder.

I welded a piece of angle to my bench tonight to put my clamps on. Then, I welded a short length of 1/8” thick square tube sticking out to put my corner clamps on.

That went fiine, but when I tried to weld a lip in the top edge of the 1/8”, I just blew right through it. Need practice on thin stuff...

 

Just watched Wicked, The Musical.

Stunning.

 

That's awesome, but I'd watch that jacket, aren't those like kinda flammable?

 

No idea. I did tell her next time she should wear a different jacket though so she wouldn’t ruin hers.

Either that, or up the life insurance I guess

What voodoo black magic ham walkie talkies do you guys have and what are your thoughts so far?

I have the Turd Gen

$18 Baofeng UV-5R VHF/UHF Dual Band Radio 144-148MHz 420-450MHz Transceiver

Baofeng UV-5R, model

$63 BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8-Watt Dual Band Two-Way Radio (136-174MHz VHF & 400-520MHz UHF) Includes Full Kit with Large Battery

BF-F8HP. Pretty much the same as the UV-5R, but with 1/4/8W selectable power, the higher gain antenna and the larger 2100 mAHr capacity li-ion battery. A little higher up front cost, but don’t need to buy the extras later. It uses all the same accessories for the UV-5R.

Performance review later...

 

Those are HAM right?

 

Which antenna did ya get? I’m thinking of getting the NA-24J.
What are the selectable power outputs of your

$18 UV-5R VHF/UHF Dual Band Radio 144-148MHz 420-450MHz Transceiver

UV-5R?
I might grab one of these as a second unit.

 

Don't go all HAM over these radios,like you do everything else.

 

I have just begun .....

 

Make it all the way here and realize I didn’t pack a shovel. Park police looked bored so I didn’t risk it. At least I got a couple of cool shots.

 

Just tell them the traction boards double as a shovel.

 

Didn’t know you have a build thread. Cool. I’ll get the details from your build. Thanks.

 

@Blackout14 - when you taking the Technicians Test? I’ll take the General Test this January I think.
