Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

SHANE AND CO.

 

Guy came in yesterday and wants me to modify the two buckles to match the one. Let’s see what happens.

 

I already know whats going to happen....perfection.

 

Ha!

Aluminum foil and tape to keep the chips from messing up the webbing and plastic

 

Hand him a file

 

Plasma cutter and be done with it?

 

I'll post a picture shortly of one of ten plates I need to make. I'm curious how long it would take to write a program and then how long of run time for each plate.
Heading into the shop now.

 

I guessed 1.5 hours for program and set up tools combined. 5 minutes each to run?
(6) .250" holes, (4) 8-32's (2) 1/4-20's and (4) #19 drill and chamfer for 4mm metric flat head.

 

Seems like a fair guess to me

 

I estimated 4 hours each but includes time to machine the plates to 7.5 x 11.5
Caffeine proof method of operation....cuts down on incidents

 

.093” end mill, decided no coolant

 

not going to take that long per plate but don't care for being rushed. I get plenty of rushed when in crisis mode around here

 

Close enough for a life saving device

 

It’s best to let your 5 year old drive if you’ve had too much to drink

 

Sober almost 10 years over here

 

So after 21 years got to thinking maybe times are different, maybe I'm more responsible. Bad mistake. Fell off for a couple of years. Think I got 4 or 5 now. I didn't keep track of time.
I guess my point is; if you think your better off without it, then don't do that first one...

 

Yeah I quit once for 2 years and bought a 12 pack and told myself only 1 or 2, well 9 or 10 later I drank for several more years before quitting for good, December will be 10 years. I don't want my kids to watch their dad be a drunk like I did with mine.

 

I hated it when my dad drank, he hid liquor bottles in the shop, barn, etc. I would leave notes when I was young asking him to quit, never worked, then I started at 20 years old and he and I drank a lot together. Looking back, how stupid on my part for ever starting

 

I forgot to congratulate you guys.
I went to meetings the first year, then only been back a couple of times.
One thing that stuck with me is how drugs affect people differently, a fellow once said penicillin will work wonders to cure some of his ailments but would kill his brother who's allergic to it. Made sense to me.

 

Thanks, congrats to you too

A good friend of mine drank, did drugs, and smoked. He quit all 3 and said smoking was the hardest of it all. His daughter told him he stunk is what made him stop that.

I don't have a problem with people drinking, my wife drinks from time to time. My problem was if I bought a bottle or 12/18 pack I had to drink it all that night or day. I always had that problem with alcohol, no control on my part.
