Alabama thread!

Thanks i think

 

Not me!

 

I find the office is so much more relaxed on a Friday with a holiday on Thursday that I would rather work the Friday and try to take off on the following Monday. I guess it started when I was on a helpdesk. No one calls in on Friday and everyone forgets their password on Monday.

 

agreed I use vacation on busy work times, not relaxed boring work times.

plus when I plan a vacation or something I like to go in most peoples off season if possible.

 

That is why I try to do Moab in early May. All the kids are in school, so less people on the trails.

 

Thinking about buying one of those blast cabinets from HF, damn living this close to one is taking all my money.

I've got parts to clean and it's back breaking doing it with a metal wheel.

I'd probably try cleaning those king shocks with a blast cabinet with the shaft taped off of course

 

I feel you, a parts washer and cabinet sand blaster would make it so much easier. There is a lot of parts to clean when rebuilding axles.

 

@Jerneyman, any work-in-progress pics?

 

And this is why i cant

 

These wire wheels aren't cutting it, great for knocking off big stuff and getting very clean, i'm just not happy enough with it.

I've also been shooting people offers on welders on Facebook, not super low, but trying to get welders for 50% off their new price, which I'd assume is fair since I don't get a warranty or anything.

I watched a few great youtube videos on the blast cabinet and these are my favorites, everyone says it's a buy.

I have one I'll sell you for $50. It comes with the caster set that you step on and you can roll the cabinet anywhere you want.

 

Welders seem to hold their value pretty darn well

 

Blasting a custom knife blank in the sandblasting cabinet.

 

everyone gotta post their cabinets after I say i want one..

 

I know and that's great, but it has to be worth me buying used and driving an hour or two one way vs buying online and getting free shipping and no tax.

 

I’ll post some when I get something actually welded together. Lol. Been cutting and bending this morning.

 

So absco had a hell of a deal on their large and up green egg. Stand bag of coal couple other things out the door for 1k.

 

I always think of the green eggs as a crucible instead of a grill. I've never cooked on one though.

 

Not me lol I got my feet in the sand
