Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Torque wrench on spark plugs, we need answers so cast your vote now

Its been a busy weekend, lube night has stretched out to a weekend of working on it when I can. Have both diffs and the manual trans changed. Hopefully engine oil tomorrow. Had a beautiful hike today with the wife and daughter.

Morning

 

Good morning everyone

There’s a ‘No Mow May’ movement going on up here. Apparently it helps with the pollinators .

Well, I couldn’t stand it any longer… Fired up the ZT and push mower. Both started right up Non-ethanol gas is

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Been working on Mother’s Day gifts

 

That is some nice work

What material are the 3D ones made out of? How is it cut?

 

Nice!

 

Putting others to shame (speaking for myself)

 

1/8” plywood, all cut with the CO2 laser, and glued with Titebond wood glue.

 

Thanks!

 

Pics without the clips

 

despite the higher quality welder, it doesn't look like there's enough non-rusted metal there to even weld anymore!

 

what's the cable actuator on the bottom of the motor opening?

 

Those thicker cutting boards sat too high inside the laser which caused the beam to be out of focus resulting in fuzzy lines. The fix? Remove the bed then add 2x4’s to block the material back up to the correct height.

 

The clutch for the blade. The engine runs but the blade doesn't spin until the lever is thrown.

Blade replaced, oil checked, spark plug regapped and air cleaner blown out. I'm ready to mow!

 

With .023 wire is is surprising what stuff (crap really) you can weld back together.
Naturally skill plays a part too -- uh oh, looks like I'm in trouble there...

"Grinder & paint make me the welder I ain't".

 

So you are a Wenchman after all.
