1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

believe me I couldn't sell Rebecca on the Central Valley if I tried lol. No family close enough to justify it being that far from the coast

 

Maybe I should send hints

'Baby's first welding set'

Some onesies

Real welding hood for when he's ready to wear one

Yeah bad CNC programming has its consequences. Also whoever is running it shouldn't walk away until they've proven the program works. It sucks after a bad crash you have to replace some parts yeah that's not the big deal you also have to get the machine aligned

 

this approximation right here gives me peace of mind with the 50% half that does not side hustle.

 

True, I forget that most of those mishaps are from walking away

I mean hell, I don't understand why people walk away from CNC plasma even; every other day it's an issue about "wasted steel" and I think...you could've just fucking stopped the torch when you noticed the issue on letter number 3 instead of having it score your metal through the remaining 12 letters and outline

 

the Langmuir tabletop had me looking.... it just about offsets the cost of a set of custom spindles, but barely has the workspace to do anything but a modular design.

 

been thinking about this lol. is this a regional thing? i grew up hearing bueno used as "ok sure" from my Spanish teacher who was from Guadalajara but it doesn't seem used that way here/ now

 

The welding work adds some more, but that's just now and then so total it up to about $1k a month

Still not bad when I work some 4-10 hours a week sometimes (or less)

 

BECAUSE I AM DRINKIN A BEER AND LETTING GCODE TAKE THE WHEEL

 

I love this

 

This thing?

It's gotta be Chinese cause even PrimeWeld carries it

I almost bought one as it was $760 or so during Black Friday, with free shipping but a laser cut table was a quarter of the price of that thing (without the side walls)

 

and that sounds fantastic, but I am not close enough to retirement for that, nor do I think scaling from 4-10 hours/week to 40-50 hours a week will mean income goes from $1k/mo to $5k/mo

 

So, it's one of those words that changes meaning based on how you use it

Kind of like 'yeah' in a response to certain questions, especially the way you say it

no this thing

 

Oh for sure; I can't see myself working even 20 hours a week in the garage

I'd be going inside too often to eat, or just goof off as I always have tunes going on in the garage

Then a neighbor passes by and we shoot the shit or have a beer even

I don't consider my work as 'work' as I thoroughly enjoy every bit of it

How old are ya anyway?

 

Ahh, naw pass

As someone on the forum said over a year ago or so, it's great but it seems to have been designed/put together by a 'welder'

 

I thought I saw an orange hue to my frame when wet. Hopefully that’s the fluid film instead of flash rust.

 

@Bandido

I'd check out the MR1 section of the Langmuir forum if you're really interested

Tons of great info on people that own and run the thing; I've seen some awesome stuff made on it which is why I considered one but after reading more and more about their personal experience, it just turned me away

 

Right back at ya



*redacted*, doing well enough for myself, things could have gone better, they also could have gone worse
