1 hr left. Take a nap then shopping, need Ketchup!

 

Mike, nice little piece I had a guy make for me out of leftover shaft material, slips over end of rod. I would have a Hilti if I drove enough of them but can't justify the cost. Soil was very hard (slate) had to cut both rods. Yeah I am fine (I think) except for being embarrassed.

 

I read somewhere you can lay ground rods horizontally in hard ground/rock?

 

I would say it depends on how much ground cover is over the top of ditch.

 

We use our cold water pipes. Just clamp the ground strap to the closest cold water pipe.

 

Morning all. Yup, rain/storms/wind.

 

i was gonna say they have sliders to do that stuff ...
Very cool.
Being embarrassed is better than being seriously hurt.
Bet you still looked around to see I'd anybody was watching lol

 

Oh yeah homeowner who is my friend also was standing beside me. We were taking turns swinging the sledge. Was not long after my sawsall came out!

 

Nice cool breeze coming through the garage.
Out here puttin around.
My blower project is done
New carb and adjusted all parameters and shields put back.
I had a blast.
Total cost of this project.
$75.00
Brought back a lot of really good memories.
Hope you enjoyed it..




Here is the broken top compression ring I told you about





Someone asked me about the table my engine was on.
It's a pretty cool thing.
I've had this for like forever.
As you can see it's been well used from building engines to building rc helicopters.
I drove a snow blower up on top of it with my ramps a time or two so it holds some fair weight.


This table is a two panel fold down.
Panels are 24x36
Center section is about 7 inches.
You fold this down and against the wall you hardly notice it.



If your hard up for space I would suggest building one.

Actually I'm thinking on putting one of these panels on my work bench as I have no real room.
So if it's folded down it will hide all my crap under it. If I need something just pick it up and lock it..

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

Good Day

Another wet and dreary day. We didn't go the county fair, didnt feel like getting caught out in the rain. I did install new inner fender liner and that 1/2 front mud flap thing on wifes Rav4. She has no idea what she hit.
Neighbor to the south is building an addition to his house. He's doing alot of the work himself, I think he's in over his head. He wants to start drywall this week. Thinks he can get it done by Saturday when they are having a fish boil. I offered to help, but he said he's got covered. He doesn't think he will get siding on this year. I would get all outside stuff done before drywall. I did tell him I would help with siding.
We have a real good crop of raspberries this year. When I am out picking the dogs have to have some.

 

Outside shit during summer.
Pick away at it during the winter.
Lot easier to get motivated when you walk through a door and it's all set to go when it's cold outside.

 

That table is cool. Do you have plans in digital format?

 

No sir sorry..
No plans.
If someone was to seriously build one
I would help with pics and dimensions.

Yea that work bench extension is definately going to happen.

 

LMAO

Maybe Go-Pro the extension build with commentary and relate it to the old original table with Go-Pro footage of it and commentary?

Cereal like Fruitloops.

 

You think I’m going to make a documentary on a piece of 3/4 inch plywood?
You can still buy the drop leaf table.
However I think the available ones are 4 or 5 inches to short.
I’ve been noticing it’s a little more difficult to work bent over so a little higher
would be more comfortable...

 

To clarify, I was hoping for a flip-phone pic of a drawing on the backside of an old air filter box, with relational dimension figures ... in smudged pencil of course.

You went full blown STL (which I had to Google-Foo BTW) ... still chuckling at that, probably will intermittently for the rest of the day.

You know I luv ya DD.

 

Ummm ... yes???

I’ll get coffee and read again...did you build the whole table, or convert/modify an existing one?

Perhaps I’m the @ss here?

 

Ahhhhh Dude..

I never said I built it...
Carol’s mother gave it to us.
I figured some woodworking wiz would see something in it..

 

Kids, the moral of the story:
Don’t TW in depth on a couple of 75 minute naps bookending a midshift.
