Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Hi @CurtB
They laid grass seed and hay the last couple days, how you're right and get some grass going quick....

 

I need to get some fertilizer and put down before the next rain so the grass will green up. Won't be long before it starts growing fast!

 

I bought a couple bags a week ago and need to do the same. Forecast calls for rain most of the day Saturday and into Sunday.
Probably head out shortly to get it put down.
Wife insisted she was fine to drive herself to Dr appointment. I was on the phone getting a package pickup scheduled. AGAIN, finally got it this time...hopefully

 

Perfect

 

I put Weed and Feed on my lawn once. The weeds just laughed and the grass grew so fast by the time I got the lawn mowed, it needed mowing again.

 

Powdercoater does this many of these rollbars each week. They go in a small car. He’s been doing them for years.

 

I love the smell of grinder to the skin.....not

 

Finally got the go ahead to repair this. Customer asked to cut the bad out, make a stainless box to fill the void so it will increase the volume through the remaining part. If they like it we will be doing more.

Boss had our fab shop make the box.



I cut the honeycomb with a razor blade, it's aluminum.




New stainless screen.



Finally got the puzzle back together.



Now to clamp it a little closer and weld it. Got to leave a 1/16" gap from where I cut it apart.

 

I just downloaded a 64 song, 4 hour and 14 minutes, 90's alternative road trip playlist from Amazon to annoy everyone with tomorrow.

 

Nice! Got to have some Creed in there!

 

Trying to manipulate this where it needs to be.




I don’t like TIG welding. I don’t do enough to be good at it.

 

It’s amazing what regrinding the tungsten will do for my welds

 

I didn't even look through the songs before I downloaded it but it doesn't look like there's any Creed in there, just most of my high school jams.

Hope you guys have been doing well!

Been following along on this thread but been fairly quite due to being freakin’ busy as heck lately!

All the winch talk around here lately has me thinking I should use my birthday fun money on a winch for my hidden winch mount!
My birthday haul:
Finally got my grinder
Got some 3 degree cam gears for the Taco
My youngest son got me some Wolverine claws!
And my oldest is learning quickly that you get the person a gift that “you” want, and play it off as if it’s for quality bonding time!
Oh, and my Taco hit 100,000 miles on the way home too!

 

That is a damn good birthday haul, Greg!

 

That’s an extremely solid mix right there! Looks like you and I are on the same musical wavelength!
