Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Harbor Freight wheels for the save

 

Got they grey ones bc hardwood floors. Glad I swapped ‘em outside as all the graphite & bearing shrapnel fell out when I turned the chair upside down. Mrs. woulda been some sore staining the floor.

 

Railway conductor “Wide Body” version.

 

Picked this up at HF too.. craptastical picture tho.



Only base I can find that's long enough for the drum sander. The weight rating is super close tho.. the machine weighs like 289 pounds.



Also.. who the heck designs something that uses 1 1/4 inch wood? Stupidest dimension ever needed for a project.

 

You know it’s deep when it’s up to the grader tires

 

My Amazon desk legs showed up, welding job doesn't look pretty, but they are stout. I climbed on top with all 210lbs of my weight on each leg and they didn't budge. They also sent like 4 sizes of screw with each, but I'll probably source my own. My set is bolted together, if I had a welder I'd weld it all solid.
The way you mount them to the desktop though is running screws through the tube up into the desktop, so I may make a flange to seat it better if it doesn't seem like it'll hold.

 

Not bad. Lots of new stuff after the crew change. I’m on a 5 day quarantine after a close contact so I’m going to miss out on some interesting things this week, but those are the times we’re living in. Hope everything is well with you all.

 

I've always wanted a heated SxS with a plow blade.

I bet it's super comfortable!

 

That could be a chassis for a heck of a custom "overlanding rig".

 

Ever watched this kind of competition?

Most be a North Carolina thing Up here it would be gone in someones shed in a few hours .

A little Army Green Paint no questions asked

 

You have cash flow -- it is just in a negative direction.

 

Classic.

Mundane utility products, timelessly and elegantly styled, designed and built for 3 lifetimes of use. It is sad that never again will we see products built that way.

 

You sure do use your mouth pretty...

 

If I didn’t know any better I’d bet the guy had sandpaper coveralls. The ass part is definitely not machined butt rather massaged.

 

Well, sometimes a plan works out even if you don't remember it..

Started to deal with the 12" of snow here on the hilltop and needed a shear bolt.
Seems like I had some... Actually found them right where I thought they should be.

3 hours later I was done -- up here. 6 hours later I was back home.

 

I don`t think I would have worded it quite like that!
