Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

With the heat and humidity in my mill... yes.

 

It also occurs to me what day today is. And I just remembered I didn't lock my box when I left work this morning....

 

Customer needed a 3 1/4” sleeve puller for a tractor engine he’s working on.

 

Supposed to have a monthly department meeting.

Boss just left to go to a different meeting.



Bonus - I'm skipping out early to get one of my kids his Covid shot and have tomorrow off.

 

That is exactly what I need, but could I get it with a 5/8 hole, vice threaded?

 

Not to much chance now . Prepping for fall snow blower sale. Hurry before there gone lol.

 

Friendly PSA: don't leave wrenches or other long tools in your back pocket when you rush off to the restroom. They may be prone to jumping out when your back is turned to the porcelain...

 

Time to build a bigger welding table!

 

Didn't ask for you to build a bridge too?

 

No he didn’t. He may have one from another engine or he can make one. He doesn’t have a lathe though

 

Been there.....

 

Your hands are dirty anyway.
5 second rule ?

 

Caught one bouncin’ around on top of a 30kva transformer just as it was goin’ for 3 point land. The “Sparky” is in re-education camp now. Oh, & no fan interference either. Rookies

 

Here I am thinking What the Hell did I do now is the backward post telling me I am banned did I hit a wrong key?

 

We got played.

 

What can the soon to be scrap pieces be made to build??

I gotta agree with Shane going new material looks to be the most cost effective till you dismantle and reconfigure to the proper dimension .

Every rework is different a ten ton Weldment is quite different when the prints lied from what I heard it was something about converting Metric to the US system numbers were transposed and never caught being the shop only ever saw the lying prints .

I got into enough trouble in my younger days questioning things that looked wrong .

 

We have court guns Why not funeral Guns .

I like the concept Great Idea.

 

I’ll use them to make the short parts for the next one. This is a prototype to make sure it works

 

Not a problem most likely I never gave it a thought just grabbed them out and back in the pocket they went .

I got broke in early we had a septic tank that the tree roots had blocked the pipe to the drain field back in those days they were called Cess pools .

After the level dropped I was lowered into the tank and scooped the 5 gallon bucket full a toilet is a walk in the park.

We were all told to use the outhouse not the new fancy indoor plumbing .

I am sure even back then repairing would have been expensive bringing things up to code.
