Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Getting some eats

 

you are correct the fab becomes the issue and the machinist needs to say yes or no! Unless you have massive amounts of material to remove the machinist can only cut x amount.
But the amount of material is sufficient and it becomes the machinist job to indicate and shim as needed to machine part in a “free state”.

In house we bend them to a .06 spec before the mill sees them. I believe the material will return and has a memory.

 

Yikes.

 

lol had to help the big lathe guy find something to check his 3” 8 npt. After looking in inventory etc.
I looked in inspection and we had a gauge another crisis averted!!
Shit they should pay me more.

 

That was the best rib eye in a long time

 

I can believe it!

 

It is good to vent to people that can understand otherwise talk to the Dog .

My Girl got me through some rough times.

 

The more you do the more they expect though so of us can`t really help that is our nature.

 

So !

 

How’s the second job going?

 

That is legit!
Did you do that yourself?

 

Good morning creed n crew

 

No we’re having a house built in Charlotte NC and moving from northern VA

 

I really need to take some pictures but after years of the universal law every flat surface is a good location to sit things so one does not need to bend to the floor.

My welding table might have a few square inches of table showing.

Most all my home projects were built of extra material and drops from jobs

 

It's going ok. It's not that hard to fry chicken strips and make burgers.

 

I live 11 miles from the Giddings & Lewis plant. It's owned by a foreign company now called Fives. Giddings & Lewis used to be major employer here.

 

Good morning doers of stuff
