Mornin’

 

I’m up , I’m awake , I’m in need of taking my morning pills and then COFFEE

 

You can see where you’ve been, and keep an eye on our cargo, it’s an important job

 

Good morning

 

Another set of bowling balls repaired and resurfaced.



After all these years I finally bolted down my vise. Lol.
Was always wanting a drill press but couldn’t justify the once a year use.
Now since I am adding ident dots on the balls, it was a good excuse.lol



Are we having fun yet?

 

Yea right.
Staring at a friggin bag all day is important.

It’s on with Velcro, soooo, it could get relocated. That’s a emergency tool bag that you’re guarding, just saying.

 

Good morning

 

ON BOY……. TOOLS…..

 

Probably missing a 13mm socket

 

But you have the 10mm. Nice

 

Years ago I was talking with a coworker about the metric system, he was bitching about it. I asked him what half of 11/64 was, then I asked him what half of 13 mm was, he flip me off.

 

I hate the metric system period.
Garbage
I had a book that I made to transpose the bullshit into American..
All the torques, weights, volumes, etc would be changed when I overhauled engines, rear ends transmissions etc.
Some books had both, others didn’t.

Metric

 

Good morning everybody. Have a great Wednesday!

 

My problem was converting everything, 3/4 “ plywood ain’t 3/4 “, 1/8” saw blades ain’t 1/8”, a lot of math and fudging to make things work. All the good woodworking tools are made in Europe, saw blades, especially. Some plywood has metric specs and some have standard specs. At least router bits are standard as far as the shank of the bit
And all the really good plywood is made in Europe

 

@Tacoma Mike , though you would get a chuckle. My precision fix , cardboard shims to make a standard dado blade, cut in millimeters.

 

Stop being grumpy!

 

Good morning

 

Good morning everybody!
