Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Roller is done, it sits in wait with its counterparts while waiting for the frame to be painted.

 

Id be scared to know the price of that fix

 

I made a thing to stretch the waistband in pants, I'll share a pic when I get home. This made me think of when I used to work at a place that made wheels. One of our favorite things to do to the new guys would be to send them to the tool crib for the wheel stretcher. We'd tell them we have some 15" wheels that should have been 17". They would come back an hour later after being in every part of the plant, each department sending them to the next. The joys of night shift! My job after that was for a pharmaceutical maker, I asked one of the chemist's to go get the tablet stretcher from the supervisor. She didn't have kind words for me when she returned.

 

So your saying as you got fat you could stretch the waist and not have to buy new pants..

 

I was thinking they shrink in the dryer

 

You hang them outside on the line and it helps that issue.
Smell good too.

 

I remember mom and dad having a clothes line and used it until I was about 15. Dad eventually took it down.

 

Not where I live. They gonna smell like cow shit...

 

I hope the bossman gets you some help soon. Smokey mcbadfoot doesnt sound like hes going to be the long term solution.

 

Wtf

 

They just want to be sure you know how accurate they are. To the 16th

 

I've been watching Ask This Old House a lot lately at night, one thing that is cool is the Festool track saw. They are expensive though!!!

Here's a video of them talking about it.

Fun fact. Festool is a brand of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing

 

Is Fastenal a dealer?

 

Fastenal sells the whole product line of everything 3M makes, so yes.

 

Ah yes, the elusive 8/16" wrench...those are about as hard to find as a 10mm.

 

G'morning gents

 

Had to rotate this 2” stock 45° and thought I would use these blocks I made 20+ years ago. It rocked too much for me, then I remembered we had some bigger V blocks

 

Can you get me some Scotch tape?
