Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Re: Poll. A few times, all work related CH-124 and CH-135. Mehhhh....

 

No chopper flying for me. I think I'd like it if the chopper driver wasn't one of them crazy, show off types.

 

Lame claim to fame - a cousin-in-law (assuming that's a thing?) was one of the pilots in the first all female Blackhawk operation in Baghdad.

 

I'm too stubborn to give up. Oftentimes it's a character flaw. Especially with a piece of equipment, it has to be absolutely trashed before I throw in the towel.

 

It's done..walk away

 

On leave in Phoenix with a few Marines and we were able to get a tour at Luke AFB. And a seat in an F16. Found out I don't fit very well at 6'6". The little red "Nuclear" button was a little surreal.

 

So that’s how they make torx wrenches

 

I'll take a set. The curved "handle" will be easier to hold.

 

Ergonomic even. You're onto something there Shane.

Helos kill too many people. No thanks.

 

Since just about every bearing we use uses a set screw I've done my fair share of doing this. I ordered a nice $70 set of Wiha Allen set and that's helped.

I have snapped the ball end off of them before doing stuff I shouldn't

 

Impatient me got tired of waiting on powder coater

I’ll let it dry for a week I guess.

 

You know the set of plans you were brought have been sitting rolled up for a while when it takes 3 staplers to hold it down so you can use the 4th to staple it back together.

 

I’ve got some Bondhus ball end Allen wrenches. They are pretty good and have a lifetime warranty, which reminds me….



And these for cutter bit screws.

 

I understand what you’re aaying but I had to FIFY.
My Apologies



Belated good morning all

 

I never have liked T-Handles, don't know why. I do have a set of Wiha torx in a folding set. But, I have a set for impacts and just use that most of the time so the next guy has an issue

 

I have made a few over the years as well!!

 

You must be really hard on staplers if you need at least 3 spares

 

I think he has like 20
