    Haaaaa! @Abeyancer setup made me jealous. Let’s just say that. Some variation of this is how I roll now. Had a bunch of close calls holding shit like this. As you can see on the damaged angle. Have 3/8 ones like that too.

    I did finally figure out how to cut mandrel bends using these vise clamp things from Amazon. Work awesome! Clean cuts finally! Redoing exhaust for tenth time.

    Anyone wanna give me there honest opinion on this muffler setup? Kinda have no choice if I want quiet.

    Fuuuuck...I'd just make the room and get a real press setup; too risky IMO.

    And holy shit those are clean as hell cuts. It replaces the whole setup on your bandsaw? Link?

    I don't want to go down a rabbit hole but sometimes I do want to get into hardening my own steel, just for those random times I want something 'stronger'.

    And yeah that's exactly what I was mentioning earlier; I won't use it much and I don't expect it to make my money back at my rate...but it'll be SO worth it when I do need to use it.

    I mean that's why we buy this shit right? Convenience.

    Na man. They are literally just these. Put on side of bandsaw clamp. Game changer. That was with the gnarly steel blade too. Just did a test.

    It's Amazon, you can cancel that shit real quick.

    Or even order it, use it, and return it for a full refund.

    They are so cheap. If you run across some bigger ones grab them though. I think they would even work well on the evo saw for bigger tube.

    I don't think anyone predicted a 2 year old team getting this far at all. But I'm happy they did

    Yeah they really made best of their expansion draft/picks, definitely not common to make it into the post season as a new team. Vegas made the finals in their first year and Colorado won it their first year in the 90s...but they were a franchise relocation from Quebec so not really the same thing

    "I sell them" that line tells you all you need to know about the man... if you're hocking auto parts retail, you probably aren't qualified to make that call

    I'm happy to see the Panthers surprising everyone as an underdog esp knocking out Boston in the 1st round when everyone thought Boston was going to win it all. Soooo many bets lost on that one lol

    But ultimately I want the cup to come back to the West just because everyone out east shits all over Western conference teams thinking it's a weaker conference

    But if Edmonton wins it that would still suck
