Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Keeps the bit set all together. Now with the self multiplying feature.

 

My friend at powdercoat had a 3 phase motor go out. Said it was dripping oil

Turns out it had been a tad over greased.

 

They just painted the coulters. Should be painting the red on Weds.

 

Matches the Ring real nice. Kinda like a GQ machine shop version. Very Chic.

 

Lunch! Deer burger, and the rest

 

Any suggestions for a new air compressor?

My current one was purchased 21 years ago (not my picture but I have the same one).



The power switch failed on it years ago but that's easy enough to remedy - just unplug it until you need it. But now the cord has started to fray right at the housing so it's time for it to go.

I don't, nor expect to, have any air powered tools so it's only going to be used for tires and blowing crap off of things that shouldn't have crap on them. Usually to the tune of about 2 times per month, give or take.

I have a sprinkler system but to get to the level of being able to winterize that myself would be in the $800+ range. A friend has a compressor that does the job and so far hasn't objected to bringing it over once a year to do it.

Recommendations? Things to avoid?

 

popcorn setting on microwave?

 

No more than you will use it I wouldn't think you would need much. I have one like this from TSC, have had it for 10 years and it's still going strong.

Bingo.... @StayinStock

 

Is there another way?

 

Absolutely not.

 

This has been ready for two weeks today. They had to have it

 

Storage fee!

 

Last part, may as well

 

It's a new customer, they were calling on a regular basis when it was at paint. I don't get it, why call if you know you aren't picking it up right away? I hope the boss got paid for it beforehand but I kinda doubt it.

 

Had to haul some heavy duty equipment from my parent's house to mine this weekend.

 

Were those yours from your youth? The J.D. disc looks to have an older decal on it, as does the IH front end loader and backhoe

 

All that heavy equipment and some nylon rope as a tiedown? Gonna have to call OSHA/DOT

 

Yep. Gonna let my little guy have a stab at them. Though they may not be in as good of shape after he's done with them.

Scale size that's probably a cruise ship mooring line. Should be sufficient
