Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I'll be starting Monday morning. Gave my current work three week notice so they had some time to find a replacement I could show the ropes to. Also- that's a great home made hose clamp!

 

Nope. They are all over the US, almost one in every city here in Ohio.

 

I'm a big fan of these pinch style hose clamps for more permanent/high vibration uses. Mostly on motorcycles for fuel lines and such.

morning

 

I always think of those as air hose clamps. Super strong. In my case today, even those ears would not have fit in the can, I needed as flush as I could get and still had to give it a good shove.

 

This seems familiar, did you make one before??

 

Neat solution!
I'll file this one away for future use.

Good memory, it’s a ramp for a shipping container, they are getting another one

 

I meant to take a pic half way thru to show it set up for tightening, but forgot.

 

I have a mish mash of different sizes of containers and got tired of squinting to find the capacity every time I add fuel stabilizer. Since Canada never really decided to be metric or imperial, some of the ratios are ozs to gallons and some are ml to litres, so I wrote both.

 

Dang!! That's SO cool! Definitely want!

 

Not my usual thing but couldn't resist the history. The 54 Merc with the see through roof would have been wild!

@RustyGreen you'll appreciate these.

Interesting in some states having a wide load sign is considered illegal the same as no sign at all.

That ticket even though I could have just turned the sign to oversize load was $500.00 till all the extra costs were totaled up. That week cost quite a lot more then my check.

 

Not mine, but since I used to collect diecast, I knew he’d appreciate knowing it’s out there.

 

This describes 80% of the women I work with.

 

I mean....we make ice cream.....
