Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

First day back at work in a week and it's for all of 2 days. I'm probably gong to need a nap later.

 

Morning Folks

Had snow overnight. Plow (play) time.
I made a cart for the plow. A had a counter top laying around. My neighbor does kitchen installs. I help out, so if I want the cabinets and countertops I keep them.
Took this top, cut it to size and mounted wheels on it. Now just pull two pins, unhook the winch and I can roll the blade anywhere. Makes hooking up the plow real easy.

 

I tried to use a move out of your play book but was fresh out of nyquil so had a couple advil PM. I don't use often but sometimes a good sound sleep is great.

 

Yep, I need a plow! And a cart now...and down force attachment, must include a winch too I reckon lol

 

i have used them before with a hand lift, its just about as miserable as youd expect. A winch is the way to go.

 

Never understood the whole no stickers, no patches thing. Like dude, you are embodying the sticker you are requiring me to take off. Beatings continuing until moral improves. I get it if I had a sticker of a massive willy or a giant middle finger. But just stickers? Get a life.

 

Neighbors project is finished. He’s unrolling barb wire. First money this machine has earned in a while.

 

Gotta have the pieces of flair!

 

We always done it by hand with a 4’ piece of pipe, never was fun!

 

We did too, most of the time it was used barb wire and a tangled mess.

 

That and dragging it through the woods was always a joy!

 

Good Morning

 

Kind of funny that the Millermatic 210 has 3 different models .

Every now and then we get the oldest version like this and if it was not written up as being on running gear it is not uncommon to have all the techs wondering around trying to find the machine

 

It's quiet in here today.

Too quiet.

 

Got a bandsaw today so the boys and I can work on our pinewood derby cars!

 

That is cool. I’d love to have some woodworking machines. No room at the inn!

 

I wanted one with dials, I don’t like the digital displays. I weld by sound anyway

 

I had about 3 hours out of 8 today to work on my rings. Ringo is very fitting how these rings are singing! I've shortened tooling and switched to sharper radius inserts, slowed rpms a tad. I've gone back and fourth on these rings ID to OD with plan to have last operation the ID. OD is good now at about .001 over. I can polish that easily enough.

 

At the start we had no clearance here, how I was able to shorten tooling up and move compound back.

 

Looking good Ringo
