Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

"If Creeds truck drop top out front, we open. If he ain't, it's a maybe..."

 

I've had several customers come in early in the morning and say "you closed early yesterday didn't you?"

I say I don't know, I leave at 3

 

interesting

 

Broke shaft repair. Bored the big part out 3 1/2" deep and put a new piece in it, welded it, then turned it and redrilled the hole. Keyway didn't need to be as long.

Cole was with me yesterday and I said you want to see something cool? I set the big piece upright on the floor and put the new piece on top of it, it went in about a 1/2". I got the torch and heated the big part up and the shaft fell in. He said why did it do that?









It goes somewhere on a Morbark grinder kinda like this...

 

My saw will be missing if Cole sees this

 

Dad magic…

 

I partially learned that from watching dad flip flywheel ring gears


He wasn't much of a machinist, he was a farmer fixer

 

Happy bday! @Tacoma Mike

 

Actually pretty smart.

 

Here's the stupid part.


They milled and paved all of that one lane to wherever it went.

I came home yesterday and the other lane, they spot milled and paved it. From our house to the line which is about 3 miles, there are 10-12 spots they "fixed".


Why not do the whole thing

 

Substitute Mike for Chuck


Happy Birthday @Tacoma Mike

@Hunterdc1 , wonder what the guy’s doc thinks about it? If you know the actual med, you can look up the data sheet to see the warnings about it.

I would think the liability would fall far and wide if something were to happen. Stay safe

Hell yea

 

I ask the powder coat man about black, he said have it here by 7 am and we'll do it. I got up early and dropped it off at 6:25, they had it done in less than 2 hours.

 

That was easy

 

I learned about the expanding metal in the opposite direction when I was a teenager. My buddy and I were having some difficulty trying to replace a ball joint on his '72 Nova. His dad told us to put the new joint in the freezer for a bit and try again. What would you know, an hour later that little sucker popped right in with hardly any fuss.

 

I've left things in the freezer of the fridge here at work overnight before

 

Morning

 

That's a weird way to spell yes
