I have a 20T press and the bearing tool in my shop if you want to come do it here, but I’m in Windsor

 

Tempting. I appreciate the offer. I think the tone ring will need cut off though, it's pretty close to the bearing surface.
I have an appointment with Pederson May 10th. They are redoing the entire thing, and will have all the parts on hand.

 

What kind of supports did you use for this? well done!

 

None.

 

very impressive the spout stayed on!!

 

The misses is back to work today and my second round of paternity leave starts. Silly me for thinking it would be a 2 week vacation with a 3 month old..... and i just got helldivers installed

 

Spout was no problem. It was the horizontal span at the top of the handle that was sketchy.
If I do another, it will sit back at an angle on the handle. It increases print time, but removes all horizontal hanging paths.

 

What all do you have at your shop in Windsor?
Back in 2015 I was working part time at a shop building bumpers, I still drop in there occasionally to work on my truck and help out.
The owner is likely going to close it down this year and will have some stuff for sale possibly. Plasma table, pneumatic tube bender, welders. If you might be interested in some fabrication gear let me know.

 

I already made a claim this year after I had a pipe burst into my basement, so they'd probably hate me lol. This I can at least fix myself, provided I can find a good time to do the work that won't disrupt the neighbor I share the fence with

 

Fabrication wise I’m lacking a bender and plasma table, depending on the model of bender and size of the table I’d be very interested! The shop is small, and the shell of what used to be my Tacoma takes up a decent bit of space in the corner lol. But I have a couple welders, press, good supply of automotive tools, 2 post lift, diff building stuff, etc. I mostly do modification/install work but occasionally I get to have fun and fabricate

 

The one I sprayed in the face with apple cider vinegar at 3am was at least 3x the size of that one.

When it emerged from my soffit I realized I made a grave mistake.

 

You need something stronger than cider vinegar.
I had one ravaging my trash cans years ago. Sat in the back of the Tacoma one evening, and when it got on the can, I used an arrow to pin his ass to the fence. Then dropped it in the can.

 

Well I’m not that savage.

Coyote urine is on its way. Should have it tomorrow.

Just got moth balls also.

 

Daycare is closed this week and I thought I would be able to WFH while also hanging out with a 8mo and 3y/o.... So now I'm burning a week of PTO

 

We are scheduled to induce at 6:30 tonight. I've been burning sick time until the baby arrives and I can file for FAMLI for a few weeks.

 

Congrats man!!

 

coon? where?

Last one I saw was pretty big. Dude was a professional at dumpster diving in Englewood

 

Ahh I see. The plasma table might be too big for you then. It's a 12 footer. The tube bender is nice though. Dies for 2, 1.75, 1.5, and 1 inch. When the time comes I'll reach out and see if you have any interest.

 

I turned on my AC...
