Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

Did you make the grooves deeper this time?

 

.020" deep on the small letters and .035" deep on the large. I can't remember what depth I made Stocks.

 

Pretty sure you did .002" on all of his letters...for as much as @StayinStock whinged about it.

 

@StayinStock please stop whinging about that Whatever plate.....

 

When I can find the time, we can talk about it

The machine has an engraving cycle, it does all caps. If I get into custom logos, it gets very time consuming. It can be done but takes forever to write the program.

 

I can't help it! I've always been a whinger!

 

That sounds like a bad rock band "Put your hands together and help me welcome The Whingers to the stage"

 

I can see it now:

"Creed's Custom License Plate Emporium, LLC."

 

Went and had some new rubbers put on. Rides and drives so much better

 

Making a die from A2 tool steel for an extruder, now the fun part, the top and the .098” cross holes

 

I love it when holes come out where they’re supposed to when you can’t see the end result until you take it off.

 

Meh, shoulda gone 35's.

 

Speaking of 35's, have you ordered yet

 

Thank you sir, I love what I do

 

Funny looking parts needing some holes. Put the dividing head on to hold them, so many levers

 

Done.

 

A couple of those holes don't have much meat left on the OD.

 

I know, less than .020" wall

 

Found a couple pictures of some pipe wrenches I've acquired over the years. The 48", 36", and crooked one, I did a welding job for a plumber friend who was retiring and we traded the welding for the wrenches many years ago. Went to his funeral recently, he got killed by a tractor @77 years old.
