    Most of the guys we sell to, use them for stripped out spark plug holes.

    Also @six5creed I should mention the screws chosen for holding the parts down once the holes are in are a little short, they only hold by about 2 turns

    Lol I don't think so, but it finishes at a thickness of .090 and the holes have a .179x100° countersink

    Not sure why I happened to think about this this morning but when I started working here there was an older gentleman named Bunk and he taught me a lot about machining, welding, soldering, etc. He passed away a couple years ago but before he left he gave me his old machinist handbook.

    625FB6BD-C689-4DC2-A31B-B2B2337B91CB.jpg

    It's dated 1957.

    He wrote his address in it from way back before they had house numbers, he lived not far from where I live now but it just says "star route". I guess there weren't many people in the area and the postal worker knew everyone and where they lived.

    Just got a delivery of some steel and aluminum plates. This company also takes our chips. They took a Uhaul truck and raked the body off. It’s awkward as I don’t know what. It’s about 8” lower than dock height and the fenders stick up o_O

    When my dad was on the FD in the big city next to us, they would have to drive around a bridge with the firetruck cause it was too low :D

    It is very odd. We don't have a forklift and it's a major back strain for us :rofl:

    That's what we did with the barrels. Used the hand truck to ease them down. We had to come up with the steel plates though, took 2 of us :thumbsup:

    These steel plates are a chunk. All I had to do was weld these handles on.
