Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

It's hard to let it go, but sometimes it's for the best

 

On the contrary, I message my guy sometimes a week ahead of time to pick it up

I cut often, so I've always got skeletons and being in CA, the remainder looks new

Just don't have time to waste trying to fit every little thing on a skeleton; that's when efficiency goes down, and time means money!

This accumulation is only 2 weeks old...

 

Back from heat treat with that hard golden color.

 

Is that, inconel?

 

D2 tool steel. Our lathe guy retired and that's the 1st ball and socket I've ever made

 

Nice, love the straw color.

 

That Dodgers sheet has lots good metal left..

 

It does, and I may keep it around to cut misc stuff but unfortunately it wasn't big enough to cut this mock-up MOLLE panel so into the scrap pile it went

This piece was a bit too tall with it's width to fit so I threw on a new sheet to cut from





Being a mock up, this will go into the scrap pile too

 

Someone would buy it

 

Critter

 

It doesn't fit

The GX rear opening has one corner that is slightly oblong compared to the other three hence that bottom left corner not sitting right

Then I need to close up the vertical and horizontal spacing about 1/16" as I made up this MOLLE layout myself

You'd be surprised what many of us toss that others might potentially buy

It's all just part of the process!

 

Lime green it

 

my mistakes burn easy

 

Even UPS doesn’t trust the post office anymore

 

Could be they’re just set up better to take blame.

 

Wife and I have been talking pretty seriously lately about the possibility of a move. We haven't fully decided yet but let me give some background

We both feel stagnant in our current jobs. And the town we are in limits our options pretty severely. The thought of moving and starting over (new mortgage and very little savings after house purchase) scares us a bit. We own our home currently and enjoy the financial freedom. We are young enough (mid/late 30s) to handle starting over though.

Wisconsin has caught our eye. I've been there for training and we have visited a friend who lives there.

Hard to know what's right

 

I know that's a tough decision for you both. I was scared to death to move an hour away and change states. I am so glad we did, it's been amazing. I wish you and your wife nothing but the best in whatever you decide

 

We're nervous too. It'd be about 16 hrs away and several states haha.

 

I don’t believe it

Spoiler: Told ya

 

So what you're telling us is you won't be commuting?
