Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Good morning friends! Work hard today, play harder

 

Looks like a long day of yardwork.

 

Looks like the wind is supposed to pick up after lunch around here.

 

Customers 6 parts are welded. He can hit the calm down button now.

 

Will he, though?

 

Nope. He'll just move onto the next one

 

Saw this on the front page, buyer beware!

Yeah it is. One of the reasons i haven't uncovered the pool yet. All the stuff flying thru the air during April somehow manages to land in my pool.

 

These rings are bolted, then welded. Look at all the loctite

 

They didn’t come off prematurely though!

What are those rings holding on?

 

They hold this “skin” they call it on. They have to reskin them from time to time and get me to cut them apart.

 

Didn’t take long

I’ve had these 20 welded for two months. Not sure why he hasn’t taken them with him

 

I get a lot of the car warranty phone calls, I've been hanging up and blocking the numbers. Well, I just pushed #1 to talk to someone. That was fun. She said "tell me the make and year of your car" I said you called me and told me it was about to run out, you tell me what I drive. She said "it's between 2006 and 2019" I said nope, try again

 

Well, atleast he admitted it and is not wanting to try and expose you all...

 

Ha Ha Ha in my case it tends to be phone calls .

No one wants and record of the conversation .

Where is my welder I need it back.

Well once you approve it the $2500.00 in parts can be ordered .

We need to be careful parts don`t get ordered till the estimate is approved.

Our parts bill till get high because people only pick up repairs when they really need the machine.

although some have always been great about approving and paying for repairs.

 

Yeah I'm glad he told me, but why are you coming to get the parts and why are you shipping them?

 

Got to put a small dab of solder on the end of this 1/8” X .020” spring wire times 40 pieces. It’s for one of our textile customers, not sure what it’s purpose is. Currently fighting contamination issues.

 

Since I've been at my current job, we've transitioned from room numbers engraved on a piece of plastic with a wood frame around it mounted to the wall to extruded aluminum with a plastic lens that goes over a paper insert to be able to label what the room is, like a mechanical or storage room or the occupant's name.

I've been printing the paper inserts for these new signs and have been wondering how many I've done over the years but since they're scattered over about 70 AutoCAD files, I figured it wouldn't be worth my time to total them up.

It took some work to get it figured out using a data extraction command in AutoCAD but I've reached what I think is a fairly accurate number.

There are currently 15,027 individual rooms on campus.
Not counting inserts I've had to redo for one of countless reasons, I've created 4,265.
That's just over 28% of campus done. Got a ways to go.
