Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Thanks for the thoughts, have a rough week ahead with 3 funerals, a 3 rd retired coworker and father of one of my new members passed day after the second. And stitches are out but workers compensation dr won’t release me yet, but tomorrow is another appointment and will see how it goes .

 

Hang in there Jeff.
Hi the rest of crew. I was busy at mothers house today, throwing out much junk. Roach infested junk, almost a entire roll-off dumpster worth. It will be full by the time we're done tomorrow.

 

I've considered starting a side business renting roll off dumpsters, I could drop and pick up in the afternoons after my main job. Just a thought.

 

Depending on the price to dump them and going rates in your area you might make some money .

How much profit do you need to make it worth your time.

Sit down and crunch the numbers .

Insurance could be the deal breaker.

Do you enjoy moving roll off cans around cause in every business we all have those days we are lucky to not lose money.

 

Also look at cost to dump at landfill we pay commercial rate with my brothers trailer per ton@$54.50

 

I believe it was $70-75/ton last time I took a load here (Pa.).

 

No matter what the world runs short of, it won't be garbage, so from a supply/demand perspective, it's probably a good bet, assuming that the business isn't already sufficiently served in your area... the downside is a substantial capitol investment; you'll need at least one truck, and a few bins as a minimum to start. Probably $50K for a truck in decent shape, assuming you can find one with the correct rigging, and ~10K/bin...

 

The cost for the container being dropped off and picked up is $195.00 then like $50.00 per ton at landfill so sounds about right.

 

Morning all. Have a great day

 

Good morning Shane, Inc. partners

 

Morning folks...
Looks like I should take care of lawn chores today, burn some cardboard from miscellaneous stuff and possibly a few old logs that are getting rotten and just been in the way for a couple of years

 

I need some advice/opinions. I’m reshaping a gun stock and my electric drill isn’t spinning as fast as I would like, and yes the trigger is pulled all the way in! I’m wanting to use my die grinder but it’s pneumatic and the exhaust blows out to the front. I don’t want oil on the stock and I’ve always oiled the die grinder so it’s still gonna blow oil out. Any ideas on how to redirect the exhaust without buying a new tool for this one project?

 

Drill a hole centered same size of stem into a plastic cup then put sander back on

 

Good idea!
Pack a few cotton balls or cotton cloth in the cup to catch any stray oil drops.

 

Does. Not. Compute. WHY would you NOT want an excuse for buying a new tool????????????????????

 

Great idea, or same but hole in pop bottle cap then cut bottle off a ways.

 

I missed that opportunity completely, must be tired... For only around $500 he could get a nice Foredom hanging flex drive kit -- top quality, foot pedal control, reversible. Foredom has been in business since 1922.

 

This is what we use where I work for marking and engraving metal and glass, it's awesome.

 

I may have done something similar before…
Maybe a water bottle cut down and some cotton balls, not sure why I didn’t think of that, maybe it’s because my kid is cranky and coughing and I had to go back out to Walgreens as soon as I got home
