Evening gentlemen

Ordered myself an air hose reel, thought I’d share the deal here since it seems like a nice one for the price.

Trying to get my shop a little more organized!

 

I thought I saw the same one on sale yesterday but it turns out it was this one from Northern Tool.

Nice! I started organizing my shop a little bit on Sunday while it was raining. And saw that pop up and realized it’d be a perfect addition to help keep it off the floor between projects.
Hoping to be able to get my truck pulled in and that winch finally installed this weekend.

 

Big sigh, I want to redo those drop down brackets. I never had my hands on the bolts that go through the spring keeper but they looked smaller than I thought. I should have took note of the bolt size or text my cousin if he remembered. Anyways I could just go with a 7/16" end mill to enlarge the hole off center of existing. But think a do over be better. Stronger. Possibly a little more robust sleeve too.
I've thought about a hose reel but I've just been winding them up and hanging on a garden hose hanger. I didn't look at the Northern Tool one but the one Graig posted looked decent design. I know someone that bought one and it turned out a pain because of the swivel at the air connection was a poor design. Would bind up or something.

 

Re Poll:

We have cameras every damn where, naturally with all the employees and boxes moving around. While I don't have access to those there's cameras at various points of conveyor system and at every sorter we do have access to. Kinda interesting to watch when shit goes "sideways". Sometimes you'll watch it and go "well there's gonna be a jam there" and sure enough it does and we get a call to free it up

 

@six5crèéd still no card yet They say it takes up to 3 weeks

 

That is crazy!

 

Ima tryin to be patient but it’s hard

 

My old (love saying that)shop put security camera’s on each side of the shop.
I don’t like being spied on .
So every day when I walked in I’d give the camera the finger. That went in for a while and one day the
Service manager called me in to his office and said “Mike, please stop giving the camera the finger.” Lol

so the week I left, some people were walking around and pointing etc. asked one of the bosses and apparently they were considering putting spy cameras in every bay.
Good thing I left as that would have been covered with a shop rag every day…
Would not have ended well.
I can only give the finger so many times a day. It flairs up my arthritis..

 

Re Poll:

 

That's funny! They just last week put up cameras in the tool cribs, and I thought about giving the finger today. My thought was to put it up my nose though as if picking a booger. Lol.
We've got security cameras everywhere for outside threats, and then cameras throughout the plant. Sometimes they'll be a group of managers watching work performance, radworker habits, safety, etc.
It's a real treat.

 

I think my first one took 2-3 weeks. After that the renewal you can do early so no worries. If you (TX may be different) let it expire then ya have to go through the whole process again.

 

Hopefully not much longer …,Definitely not gunna let that happen!

 

I just looked, October of next year mine is due again (5years), have to go to Lincoln for fingerprints. So coming up on 15 years I've had it.

 

I got to renew next year, that’ll be 10 for me.

 

Holy cow. I was jumping through my posts in this thread, and I have one on the first page. I didn't realize I got in on the ground floor. When are dividend payments and/or stock splits anticipated?

 

Last time i lived in Tx, took somewhere around 90 days..

 

Hes got a couple broke drill bits and some used siding...

 

Well now that’s disturbing
