Rimco.....
I am the sales manager of the Corpus Christi store. I have a problem I think you guys can help with.
I just transferred to that store last month and I need to get the numbers up. Anyone who comes in, mentions this site and asks for me (Ryan) will get 15% off. If your paying cash instead of making payments, I'll give you just above employee pricing.
Here's the catch, if it's my day off or I'm out to lunch sorry, can't help ya. Make sure you pm me and I'll make sure I'm there when you plan on stopping by. Rims and tires are just the beginning when it comes to things I can get my hands on.

 

Good call. Give the person who gave you this idea a set of new rims.

 

Alright project night stand is going well. Got the top made and glued together. I'm attempting to embed a horseshoe in the center board on the top. Sink it in so its flush. The dremel got a work out today...

Speaking of my dermel I'll give yall a short review if you care at all...if you don't skip this paragraph... I got the dremel 8100 with the 9v battery. its a good tool for small things. Anything bigger and it struggles. Even when using the circular sanding attachment if the battery has been used for more than 5 min it bogs down pretty easy. The battery run time is horrible. You might get 20-30 min out of the battery max if your using more than half power. If you run it at top speed maybe 10 min. Charge time is around an hour. When I was engraving a picture frame it worked awesome even at low speed and lasted a long time 2hrs+ because it wasnt a hard task. Maybe the 8220 would be better with bigger projects because of its 12v battery. All in all its a good tool and would recommend it. But get the 8220 for more power and buy an extra battery or the cheaper corded version.

 

Good to hear the nightstand build is coming along. I could have told you the battery dremel is weak. I would actually say mine sucks bad. It never lasted long and the power was terrible. Corded is way better.

 

It's not in a stage where it's ready for pictures yet

How long does it take for the vinegar and steel wool to steep to make the stain? And how much steel will did you use? I have one piece in a prego jar filled about 3/4 with vinegar. When I went to bed last night it hadn't even changed colors

 

I read it takes 2-3 days.

 

Interesting. I'm gonna let it sit for a week probably.

Anyone have a planer and a miter saw they wanna sell me?

 

And maybe a belt sander...

Oh and I thought id let y'all known that that sand paper from harbor freight is actually pretty good. It lasted way longer than the stuff I bought at home depot. And its half the cost.

 

Saw one at harbor freight for $269. Not sure how good it is...

 

When is it getting delivered?

 

We still use an old delta planer in our shop, it is one of the best planets I have ever used.

 

To those of ya'll in/around Ft. Worth, go to the Mongolia Motor Lounge and get a burger. It's damn good.

 

When is the DFW meet? Where is it also.

 

Go Rangers!!

 

I will bet Chop House in Arlington is better. They put brisket meat into their burgers. Plus their sweet tater fries are awesome.

 

Naw, this shit's delicious.

 

15th, I vote for Rahr or Saucer for the patio.

 

Where in Ft. Worth?

 

7th and University. Close by the Art Museum and that football field.

 

I vote the Saucer because it gives us more flexibility and the people who do not like Rahr (I know, I know) will still be able to drink something. I know I will not be able to stay real long; Megan has work at 3p that day most likely.
