Makes sense.

Met a local dude that had a jig just for pressing in/out bearings on 1st Gen spindles; makes quick work of the job.

I need to come up with something myself hmm

 

Looks great!

 

You think the market for bottle openers is gonna dry up???

 

I never pushed them locally; only locals that got some are -

two neighbors, UPS guy, and my new customer (shop owner) I picked up some 2 weeks ago.

I did the F-Bomb as an attempt to get a nice clean cut on something small and posted it in the welding section. Got two PM's damn near instantly asking how much, so I went on to cut +40 more the next day.

All sold out but I haven't had any more takers since.

I do have pending requests for bed stiffeners but I asked that I put them on hold cause it's fucking hooooot out so I wanted to wait until it hits 90's again.

 

time to put a swamp cooler in that biaaa and chill on my level


That's a hell of a run though lol, that's quite a few

 

@Wulf how'd they come out, in your opinion? I don't like how the top corner of one got cut but that was a lead-in issue on my part I need to adjust.

 

Swamp coolers and raw metal (or people painting) is bad news

 

Some of us poors don't have big ass shops

 

That's #1; metal sheets sit on one wall and metal tubing on another.

I just run a large fan cause warm air moving fast is better than hot air sitting still

They both suck

 

the top corner inside on the fin? I only noticed one small defect there. They're really, really nice compared to similar sized stuff I've got from other venders

Good job dialing that shit in

 

Yeah youd just start surface rusting at all if you had a swamp cooler going in there.

 

meh at 50 pct humidity nothing's gonna flash rust. My pile of scrap isn't any more rusty than when it all sat in the sun

 

Oh for sure, my neighbor has one in his garage.

Off topic; the man does not run AC at all in his house.

I installed 3 ceiling fans for him...not to mention mounting a big ass TV to his wall.

The man does not run his AC.

I told Stephanie like 'wtf'...but notice at most he'll have some fans running and the windows open.

Dude has 3 kids (1 is a newborn) and I bet those kids are freaking burning in there, yet he runs a swamp cooler in the garage

 

Guess it depends how small his garage is and how well ventilated with a swamp it is. I wouldn't want to mung up my new metal. But yeah a scrap pile, who cares, probably all needs cleaned before use anyway.

 

You've seen my garage, all new metal. Just rather not subject it to the possibility of rust.

It's nice being able to throw it on the table for cutting and no prep.

 

If it has good mill scale on it still it would probably survive well, minus edges and cut portions.

 

You guys hiring?

I'm already a journeyman lvl expert on bridgeburning

 

Hot damn... did this guy move in next to you?

(His channel is FULL of making a housecat outta that coyote)
