Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

What material did you make them out of? That one looks hard as a rock and chrome plated

 

We all do, Waze...

 

Yeah, that's why I made a spare, and told them no guarantees. It was a dire emergency to get our discharge canal dredged...
It's a material called Nichroloy, you can Google the properties of it. Pretty good stuff and it worked good for them.
Nichroloy trade name and they give comparison to other materials and such.
I keep a few stick of different diameters in the shop. You can buy miscellaneous short ends and stuff from them.
Baldwin Steel, IIRC

 

F*** me!!! What did that chunk of stock cost????????????????

 

McMaster Carr has a 2' stick of the same stuff for $50.

 

Damn... we're getting hosed up here. I just priced out 5 sq' of 3/16 plain, steel plate? $105!

 

This is how “fab rats” do it

 

Good morning Creed and Company.

 

Given the number of partners, perhaps it's time to consider incorporation?

 

High class it’s where I get mine

 

Machinist Flex

What ended up being the problem? If you said, I missed it.

 

Not nearly as impressive as yours, but I moved out of my parents house and started a career working with my hands.

 

One of the legs going to the motor had broken off and was just dangling in the breeze. Finally had time to fix it and immediately had a use for it.

 

Any of yall have goats? Thinking about getting one for the back yard as a family pet, my cousin breeds them. Wondering if it's a good idea or not.

 

Better have a good fence..and a place for compost pile

 

All I've got is a 4' chain link fence, I read that should be enough but I'll definitely listen if you say otherwise. Plenty of room for a compost pile, I wouldn't mind composting food waste too.

 

Chain link is good, just dont have anything you dont want jumped on, in the fenced area. Depends on how big of area you have it might be hard to collect the maneur.

We have four in our backyard, 4’ fence is all we have. They’re pigmy goats and can’t keep up with the grass in the summer and I have to mow it every couple weeks. Also have a round bale of hay in a shed cause they don’t like rain and eat on that when it’s raining and in the winter. We go through about 5-6 round bales a year. They are on less than a half acre.

 

Do you milk them, or are they future meat?

 

Pets. No milk although we have 3 females and one neutered male. No babies either, wife and kids wouldn’t let me get rid of them if we had little ones.

I had as many as 27 once and sold them when I lived at my parents, mostly boar goats. They are for meat purposes.
