Hell yeah, gonna shower then I'll jump on

Just finished Adrian's stool and it was hot out

Theo & Olivia can call their band Cradle of Drool

Ryan and Miguel's kids if they wanna join

 

Welded up the center tube and nut



Welded the nut to the stool cushion mount



And she's all done

 

River is pretty good at swinging a ukulele around

 

This is what I aspire to.

 

Last assignment done, now we wait

 

@Kwikvette
We made a quick stop before going to visit Beth to get tater tots.

 

Man those tater tots were sooooo good

I gotta check out Vons tomorrow if they have them here

 

I got a hold of one upholstery guy today.

 

Local to you?

I'm stoked to see it done, but you can pick it up pretty much whenever that way you can get it painted up.

I was just waiting for the casters to finally arrive so I can see if the braces work well for the legs. It'll make for a makeshift footrest too.

 

Here is a teaser.

Also, why so splattery today?

 

Wire speed and long arcing are two reasons I can think of

Anti spatter spray is a good one, but you can still dial it in some more to minimize that

 

They are so good! I would think Vons would have them.

 

Shifter Fix Installed

Destroyed a valve in the GX almost few weeks ago. Been driving the Taco since. The Taco still had the stock suspension in it and 150k miles, it was pretty damn tired. Decided to do a thing to make it a bit better...

 

Did you guys have that pin break or w.e. it is?

 

The previous owner had the spring break. They managed to replace the blue bushing. Part of the steel dowel was lodged in the sleeve from the aborted operation. The shifter was being held in place with a zip tie.

The plastic shifter box had to be pulled to get the old parts cleared out. Some purported mechanic gave up and told the owner that it needed a new shifter box which is about $500. One more item off the list of maintenance. We installed new Bilstein 5100s on the rear to get rid of the Eibachs. That should correct the pogo stick ride.

 

Stool

 

She is bright!

Getting that tube bent soon for that footrest?

I don't plan to have anyone sit on the one I made until I can confirm the braces work well.

 

I’m gonna do the footrest on the roller, which needs some work itself before it’s operational… Hopefully I can make it happen soon.

I rode it across the garage and it’s rock solid! Footrest will be good peace of mind, but I didn’t feel any give or flex so I’m not afraid to give it some light duty use as is.

I love it man, it’s a badass design!
