Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

One of our customers came up with this. I made a some a couple years ago. Boss farmed these out this time. They’re battery holders to screw on the wall.

 

Another pig goes up North to never be seen again!

 

You might try some mothballs in a plastic dishpan under the building, might help or might not -- but it is easy and cheap.

Put it somewhere that gets good circulation over the pan.

 

Snares might help too

 

I went to looking at this prep activity and seen that the pump for last outage was put off to cut work. So just as I figured there will be two new pumps and two new motors put in this outage.
Would think that scheduling would know by now that doing both of these prep activities at the same time would save me quite a bit of set-up time.
Thinking like Nellie thought dookie was jelly.

 

Morning

 

Reminds me of long long ago The big fancy Hunt Clubs down in the Southeast Corner of Pa .

Needed to get Foxes to release to chase with the puppies and riders.

The hot set up was to find dens and then dig the kits out then raise them .

It was pretty interesting they had this Rat Terrier that would go down in the den and alert sometimes she missed and got ground hogs by mistake..

They told me that happened if it was used by a fox to den the year before.

The strange things I got into just me and the horse being out and about.

 

One down. @tirediron that dividing head is from across the pond.

 

Looks like you can still get them new.

That is it! I machined the sides of ours so I could hold it in the vice. It wasn't square.

 

Ahhhh-so... best genunine chinesieum from People's Tooling Works, #4, Yantai.

 

Keeping America machining since..........2004

 

m

Yep...

 

for real machinist job!

I'm going to chomp the first key, it's 1/4" the motor hub gets 3/8".

 

I wanted the new guy here but...oh he's off on another training boondoggle. One that he could have done next year when we don't have a outage.
Clueless management

 

I'll take his place!

 

Took my wife's RAV4 out to stretch it's legs. It hasn't moved in a month , so I like to ride it around to keep a good charge on the battery. Almost 2 years old and has 2500 miles on it. We only drive it when we go to special occasion or when the detailer takes it to clean it up. Last few times, he didn't even charge me for the interior , cause he's the only one who's been in it. I should probably sell it , but what the hell, we paid for it on the day we bought it.

 

I think you would get bored to death here.
We put out a few fires here n there during outage but it's nothing like the job you have now! It seems like you go from one catastrophe to the next at the mill!

 

Both hubs bored and broached. I'm just going to clean up the shop and drill and tap for set-screws tomorrow. Oh, then there are two locations opposite corners on the pump mount holes that get drilled larger. Those two holes are bolted with a shoulder bolt for locating purposes.

 

Might as well screw ‘em to the wall if they’re walkin’ off site. Spend more money lockin’ things up than there worth sometimes.
