Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

verboten...

yikes, hope everyone is ok

 

You're good, takes about just a couple hours to get back to normal.



EDIT: Crap, I did it, wrong thread. Oh well...

 

The one I have at work

 

How about those Cubs?

 

Playful as ever

 

OH, the other Cubs. My bad.

 

I figured you would be right along....

I'm trying my best to behave, but it's not working

 

Well, it passes the time.

 

So…I have multi year tags on three trailers, you pay $90 and that’s it when you get the plate, non transferable if you sell the trailer. If you plan to keep it, it’s a great deal. One of them I’ve had for 22 years, the other 5, etc. I got a letter the other day from the county tax department with those 3 trailers and asking if I still had them, it says I’ll be getting a tax bill in 2022 for them

 

Exactly what is it you are implying…?

 

I see some large tools/tool holders/fly cutters/slotting saw in the background, what are you using those in?

Buddy of mine picked up an old mill and he had me come check it out, came with a bunch of Garr Tool carbide end mills, drills etc....

I said "man thats a ton of nice carbide!"
he says "you can have whatever"

Me tearing up because my mill is a total wiener and couldn't push 7/8 of those tools into aluminum let alone high speed through steel or titanium!

Edit: This is what I determined was feasible in my little mill, except for that 6" long .375 end mill, that one will probably un-tram my mill but YOLO
This is a fraction of the carbide that what was with it and it was the smallest stuff.

 

@RustyGreen One of the mechanics we use had just bought this, some reason I thought of you.

Gonna get it running and daily drive it. Last inspection was 7/1997





And yes, that's a wooden floor shop!

 

We have a blizzard warning from 9 tonight until 6 tomorrow night.

I shoulda stayed in Florida.

 

Forget warnin’. It’s live.

 

Is it snowing up there already? So far, there's nothing here.

 

That’s a nice pile you acquired

I use most of the tools in that photo in our 3 axis bed mill.



We have 2 other mills we use from time to time. We’re a small shop, me and one other guy in the shop. He runs our lathes. I do our milling and welding, we do a lot of prototype work, which I love.
