Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Sometimes it’s just not worth the effort to help them understand what we do

 

Sorry to hear that, dude.

Going well here. Cleaned up a bunch of my dads stuff, bought a new mattress and chair to replace the one's in his room, cleaned up my mom's patio, my sister bought her some new flowers for the patio. Quite a lot done today.

Got a friend of my mom's coming in from Alabama tomorrow and more family showing up.

 

Ya'll talking bout ice cream, wife made Raspberry cobbler..

 

That looks perfect! I’ll take the heart

 

Making parts for the Patriot Missle. How about you?

 

Sorry to hear. Condolences.

 

The top was crispy too so that made it good too

 

We’ve been slow at work so I’ve been doing some personal jobs but we getting back going now. Started a brass job today and got to cut a bunch of stainless parts tomorrow. Both hot jobs

Feast or famine it seems like.

 

Yea one of our customers dumps a week and a half lead time on us for some parts we use to make regularly. So i had to go onto banging those out. The current part im working in has quite a bit of +/-.002" and a hole with a true position of .003 plus max material (which is less than a thou)

 

Apparently I need to wear a cup to work. Got tagged in the nads again from a thrown board while clearing a jam.

 

7/40 for everything, that's what my instructor told me to set them at in trade school in 1980 & that is what I have used on everything including 3.5" shanks on backhoe buckets. I just changed tip size for what I was cutting

 

This sounds interesting! Maybe you need an iron suit... maybe some would ask for pics or it didn’t happen be safe brother!

 

Early 70's, I was working on a track-gang in the steel mill. Oldtimer was breaking me in on the 'burner' job. Set the torch about the same as you mentioned using a #38 or 40 tip. Really makes the molten steel fly! And yes, they got me on the 'cut the nuts off a frog' initiation. Good times...

& mornin'

 

Good morning friends.

 

I showed him an option last time.
Apparently he didn’t follow up

 

This stainless job isn’t critical at all, just a lot of them.

 

Good morning to the owner of the longest thread title in the history of all thread titles.

 

It's the truth. It's so long, it won't let me put anything else and I'm pretty sure it jammed the system when I hit done.

 

This stainless is 1/2” x 8” I timed one with the blade that was in the saw. Took 9:0043, put a new blade in and it took 4:35. I figure if I stay on top of it I’ll have it all cut Friday at 1:27 pm

 

Single place for you mean +/-.100"?
