Trash run is Monday no big deal

 

Hey sweetie how ya doing

 

It’s nice here today

 

Back in the shop holler again shortly

 

Pretty good, got the Sunday blues a bit though! So not ready for work and full weeks at that. Been nice working 3 days a week!! Wish I could do it full time.

How's shop time and is the knee getting back to normal now, the good one that is?

 

It was a blast today!!! Knee is hanging in there and dealing with it.

 

Maner.

I wanted to comment on the grinder hanger. I love it, but have to mention things that bother me.

1) power cords with a memory drive me nuts! Coiling the cords around those grinders is just unacceptable.

2) think about welding a hook under the edge of the table to hold each grinders power cable.

3) lose the 2 prong plugs on the grinders. I know they are double insulated and do not require a 3 prong plug, but installing a 3 prong will make it simpler to plug into the wall or extension cord. I hate having to look close at the prongs to see which is the bigger contact.

As for the hanger, I love it!

Just seeing those cords wound up makes me think that the grinders don't get used that often. I don't care how good a welder a person is, the grinders are gonna get used often.

Now that everyone knows what annoys me, let the abuse fly.

In addition, I've stretched 100' extension cords from tree to tree with a come along to take the kinks out...as well as marched them to the nearest dumpster when I could not get the kinks out. If they won't coil, I don't want them.

If I see anyone use that queer half hitch extension cord storage methods, I lose my mind.

Ok. Off to eat. Blood sugar might be low. I dunno.

You asked, sorry I was so long winded.

Otherwise, great grinder holder.

 

Good deal!

 

What a fun day we had.
Thanks so much to @Pandaman59 he worked all day cleaning behind all the equipment and the shop looks super great. @bvbull200 Bryan and I worked on his smoker and are real close to prepping for paint.

And to top it off wife had me roast and sweet tator for supper.

 

Love the review!! I can always count on you. I will look into changing the plugs. I like the idea of hanging the cords and will see how I can I do it.
I have another rack done for you.

 

Not Necessarily, Cons might loose Truck
GUN Deer and hefty fine.

 

lol

 

I'm so OCD about power cords that I either A) only buy cordless tools, B) when I use a extension cord I leave it where I'm using it and buy another one for the next task.

But I have been known to go this route too

 

I'm with you on extension cords. The higher priced rubber sheathed cooperate a lot better then the cheaper more plastic cords but they all develop a "memory" for lack of a better term which is dependent on the lay of the wire. My wife and kids think I'm nuts (who gives a shit) but I won't let them coil any extension cords from the shop.

 

#2, I need to finish sanding but this one has some nice streaks in it...they will end up being right around 10" tall pecan salt and pepper mill

 

Looks great I need to get another set of mills for the shop when cooking
