    Made a couple of edge tamers for the tractor bucket the other day from some scrap ¼"x1" flat stock. It's no mystery, the real hero here is the grinder.

    Bonus :confused:

    What's "a bonus"???

    .
    .
    .

    My previous employer was very economical you might say.

    I really can't express the scope of their thriftyness without breaking the old "if you can't say anything nice" rule.

    .
    .
    .

    Remember their 401K contribution was 1/10 of 1% -- that is .001 cent for every dollar the employee put in.

    .

    Our version of that was "just get it done" - without any added resources naturally.

    “We, the unwilling,
    led by the unknowing,
    are doing the impossible
    for the ungrateful.

    We have done so much,
    for so long,
    with so little,
    we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.”

    ― Konstantin Josef Jireček
