Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I'm working on an idea for a front receiver for the winch and deer rack. I don't want it to high or to low.........

 

That helps, thanks @nagorb
I had a little more time to study that chart you posted, pretty much the same as with the wire set. I'll chuck that piece up afternoon and see if it, all adds up

 

Did I mention a free lunch today? Pizza and wings! I never frown on a free lunch.

 

Beats my protein bar. To be fair I could have something else if I wanted, the bars are easy to keep at the shop though.

 

Free lunch today here too. Can't go wrong with pizza.

 

In your case it most likely has no strings attached.

I recall one time working a Job where food was bought for us grunts we heard about that free food till that job was finished.

Not all pizza is created equal some is much better

 

No strings, just two guys in the mechanical maintenance group hit 10 year milestone.

 

I had 2 slices of pizza left over from last Friday. It was all I could do to chew the crust. I love pizza though

 

I'll be hitting 10 years where I work in January. Who's throwing the pizza party?

 

I like pizza that has gotten cold, coagulated, and then hit the air fryer for that extra crisp.
<Had pizza last night.

 

Customer brought 2 of these S & S cams and gears by and wants me to press them on, I measured them and they have a .0025" press

They also have a woodruff key to keep them from turning. I put the cams in the freezer, hopefully they shrink to about a .001" or less press

 

You can warm up the gears on a bearing heater too.

If you don't have a bearing heater -- put a 60 watt incandescent bulb in a drop light with the hood removed, put the light in the vice bulb up and set the gear on the bulb.

 

That's a lot of press! You know one thing; once they're on, they're staying on.

 

He came and picked them up, he said he knows someone who knows how to get them on. I said I know how to get them on, you can keep all the pieces when the gear explodes too

 

No such thing as bad pizza, even the cheap store brand specials are better than no pizza.
Not to say there isn't a wide range between barely edible and good.

 

Years ago I walked in the shop to hear the howl of the electric/hydraulic press on the relief valve.

As I was stepping over to investigate just what the two fools crowded over it were doing there was a sharp explosion.

They were trying to press a 25mm bearing on a 1" shaft -- didn't work out for the bearing.

Bits of bearing were imbedded in 2 sheetrock walls and the tile ceiling, the fools escaped without a scratch, maybe a bit wiser -- maybe needing clean Fruit of the Looms.

 

I didn't pay for my lunch today, either.

I paid for it last week when I bought it.

 

Early congrats!

I'll hit 10 years the end of next month.
