Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Torque wrench on spark plugs, we need answers so cast your vote now

It was slap full of oil. I'm thinking it's spent most of it's life flopping Chinese food

 

So have I.

 

That's what I was wondering, if something internal. BIL worked machinery repair at a packing plant and some of the SS with nasty meat remnants...stink and sometimes explosive.
Man I missed out on fire and fire training today shucks. Fire..fire

 

We have a customer who makes noodles and one who grinds cabbage. Both nasty when they bring stuff in, they don't clean it.

 

Howdy Six, reminds me of a fireplace shovel.

 

Coming down heavy now! This is the worst of the storm I hear

 

Had to leave work for 45 minutes to drive home, pick up the kids and bring them to school because the Pilot wouldn't start.

Now I have to leave early because Interstate Battery closes at 5:00 instead of 6:00 and I might not make it in time.

It'll probably end up setting me back $200.



And apparently I've never entered leave from work for two different times on the same day before because our software won't let me, which is stupid.

 

Here’s the part after the first op.

Top half


Bottom half


Bolted together.


There is more to them but this is all we do before shipping them to the customer.
It’s about an hour total to do both sides of both parts. Only 50 more sets to get done.

 

Mount that blower on the front of the Tacoma

 

I write mine on paper, we don’t have a time clock

 

Those are beautiful

 

Got behind this just now.

 

thank you. They turn out pretty nice for castings. Some of them have pitting and look not so good after machining.

 

Saw a piece of 3” channel beside my toolbox and figured it’d be good for a skid with the web so I split it with the metal skilsaw.

 

There used to be another machine shop next to us that ran gas pump nozzles on 3 cnc milling machines. They were cast in China. About 40% of them had defects so bad they were unusable. He used to give them to me, I would take a truck load at a time to the scrap yard. He finally figured out how much he could be making and stopped giving them to me

 

No time clock for me, either, but I still have to enter my vacation, sick, dependent sick and funeral leave.

But apparently not twice on the same day!

 

You did well for sawing that free hand.
Man those saws are handy, but loud, hot chip throwing muthas.
I'm usually cutting off a full sheet so set up a straight edge.

 

Oh dear

more mice

Tee hee

 

All of ya’ll doing fun stuff and I’m at the kitchen table watching it snow and looking at resumes for a new chemist for our group, . I’m ready for Spring.

 

Well it's no fun being on the other side looking for work ether
