Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I hate painting, too.

I painted my son's room Home Depot orange but that was better than spending the week with my sister-in-law. It stayed orange for almost 2 years before he decided it was, as we'd been saying the entire time, a bit much.

 

Congrats! Does she get a longevity ribbon like in the military?

 

Is a new Highlander close enough?

 

Yessir. Nothin’ finer than Roses on the Piano. ‘Cept maybe Tulips on the Organ.

 

He really gets around seems he is the welding inspector at so many of my Customers looking at the welds.

But it is always the welding machines fault for poor welds right??

 

3 phase induction motors do not have a start winding. They are self starting. Each phase give the poles 120 degrees of rotation. (120x3=360) by changing the two leads it changes the wave form order, causing the motor to reverse.

Here’s a video that give a easy to understand explanation

So wish I could have 3 phase at home.

 

Congratulations on anniversary @Fargo Taco I'll have 21 years in this year ( spoken like a sentence lol) no it's been ok. I'm lucky the wife is perfectly capable of painting and knows how much I despise it so she's got it covered.....now....why didn't I get the bigger snowblower back when it was on sale?

 

Lol it’s always that way... should of bought that one or this one instead of one I got :-/. Haha I find myself this way but for the most part I made/make good decisions and live with it

 

$100,000.00 to run it a mile I can buy a nice 3 Phase Generator

Had a neighbor thought about it as well we thought split the $100,000.00 not so bad but no they wanted the same amount from the both of us.

 

And why haven't the welding machines fixed all the efficiency and output issues in the weld area as well????

Have a robotic welder in one of my areas... when we first got it, operators constantly complained about weld quality and having to rework parts. Took a while to teach them that the robot welds where it is programmed to, and the better they control the consistency of the parts it receives, the less rework it generates

 

That's a fair chunk 'o change....& I thought 7K for gettin' rid of my Party Line phone was lots. Even way back then.

 

People come in when I have the milling machine running and say “you have it made”. I respond “it does what I tell it, it doesn’t know right from wrong”

 

Spent the day up in town and went by 3 sporting good stores to see if anything was in stock. Picked up 100 rds of M855 5.56, a couple boxes of muzzleloader bullets, a bottle of Blackhorn 209, and 100 209 primers.

 

@Hobbs I’m going in the bathroom tomorrow

 

Buckhorn 209 or blackhorn 209? I switched to blackhorn 209 last year and love it!

 

You have my Sympathy !! Karma for all the Powder Coating??
