Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Hangin in there like a hair in a biscuit, power still out, baby still cryin, dogs run off, mommas acura aint shifting right, think I'll sit down and write a country tune...

 

That's a sweet one! I'd ditch the roll bar tho or something more subtle

 

Hang in there brother.

 

On a lighter unrelated note, if there was ever an auctioneer with a bada$$ race car, he should definitely name it-

That one came to me today, in a moment of clarity.

 

I don’t always argue and lose my temper with other engineers (that’s a lie, I argue at-least once daily with them) but when I do it’s over holding a 4 decimal positional tolerance on a bolt hole….. based on a reading an intern walked up and took off of another aircraft…. That is being used for donor parts…. After it was crashed…I’ve been doing helicopters for a long time and I have never ever seen two exactly the same. Sheetmetal guys are not known for repeatability on hand drilled parts.

 

Look at the clarity on the blade, beautiful work.

 

I dont know a whole lot on the maker, the friend i got it from says its $175-200 knife.

I cant bring myself to use it it sits on display

Surfs up

 

Nope

 

Not Crazy cold yet. Still fun cold. Might just have to head out after we get a foot or so. For science

 

That’s pretty cool!!!!

 

Most of my Every day carry knifes are +$800

And I use the crap out of them.

 

Im too cheap for that high quality of knife

 

On A side note, I got confirmation that my new machine is on the way to the US!!!!

Pretty sure this is my machine they showed on their Instagram!!!!

 

I understand. Until I fell into this rabbit hole I was just a simple kershaw man.

 

Dats me dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with your products.

 

We barely got anything here. Mostly a layer of ice underneath a dusting of snow.

 

We haven't gotten anything snow yet but just this evening we're cold enough now.
I'm doing a couple of pump/motor alignments tonight. The first up was initially so close that I took several readings with hopes it might magically come in. No go...need to remove .008" from the rear vertically and move the entire thing front and rear. 004" to the East. Amazing how on the money alignments can be these days, and fairly easy to achieve with laser equipment. It's 3,570 RPM so tighter tolerance.
I better get back to it.

 

Near perfect for the first alignment. Each side of the motor has 4 hold down bolts. I could have changed the machine to reflect 4 points but I chose to use graph paper for shim changes. Once and done, the way I like it, so 8 shim points and 745 ft pounds on the motor hold down bolts.
