Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I use 3 at work, rarely use ice at home.

 

I'm 28 and before I moved out we did have an ice maker but then I spent many years in (cheap) apartments so I'm very familiar with ice trays lol. Only difference was mine were usually empty thanks to my wife.

 

Ready to be tested.

 

After putting the deer skinning rack on yesterday I remembered I made a bumper dumper years ago. The lid broke and is warped but you get the idea

 

Did you “load” test it for certification?

 

I have tested it while deer hunting before but didn’t catch the drippings

Had one guy ask me why I sit to pee. I said mind your own business

 

My buddy had one with the lever you pulled and the ice popped out. And he had a basement. Rich bastard.

 

Back to the grind(er) this morning. Trying to finish the big welding job

 

Did you get the cooler fixed at the store? Mornin'

 

Herbert did. He unhooked one of the 2 fans on the outdoor unit to keep the head pressure up. Since he did that it's been working fine. He's going to put a fan cycle switch on it soon. We've always fought problems with it when the outdoor temps drop it freezes up inside. It didn't dawn on me that it's been working fine since we replaced the indoor unit a few months ago (coil had a lot of leaks) that it acted up when the outdoor temp dropped Saturday night/Sunday morning into the 40's.

My first thought was low on freon but Herbert said it was good after putting his gauges on it. It also was working fine when he came to check it out but the sun had gotten to the outdoor unit and the temp has risen. He is a smart man!

 

Oh damn that makes total sense!

I'd have to see a sketch and do some research

 

Hope ya'll are having a better morning than I. Stupid mutt decided it a good idea to get on the counter and eat almost an entire loaf of banana bread. She is now quaranteened to the kitchen as she pukes it all up. Really wish I had some investments in Johnson and Johnson so I'd be paying myself for cleaning all this yuk up.

 

There is a laser cutting place by me

 

That is cool, unfortunately we don't have a machine to do that here in a timely manner. A laser would be best, @ovrlndkull wonder what they charge near you? The people we use charge $150 an hour but that doesn't look like a long running part. The minimum may be high though.

 

Yeah I think that is going to be about the same here as well not hugely expensive per part just high run count required like at least a sheet or 2 worth of parts if you already have the CAD and cut files required. If they have to make them too probably get more expensive.

 

If we had a laser I'd be making all kinds of cool stuff

 

Even a plasma!!!
