    There is a woman involved. A pregnant woman. LOL.

    Besides, the fumes are pretty terrible, no insulation in the basement ceiling, too much noise. I weld outside the walk-out basement doors. I just won't do anything besides a few tacks down there though. Her sense of smell is second to none.

    *tack* "ARE YOU WELDING DOWN THERE!?" :rofl:

    I've been cutting with mine all morning. The only nastiness is coming from the flap wheels doing dross removal.

    All the smell is going into the water.

    :rofl: Yep, honesty is the best policy hahaha

    I plan to build a water table for mine as well. I really need to build a shop, or pole barn, or something. I'm likely years away from it, unless the stock market suddenly clicks for me hahaha

    I'm always planning. There's the possibility that I'll come across something inexpensive and erect it myself. I like to keep my options open.

    This is somewhere number 250 of this style of trailer. For 25 years I've been hand cutting the 6" ovals for the trailer lights by hand.

    This is the last one I will have cut by hand.

    The plasma CNC will be cutting them from now on.

    There is something you could market if the end cost works out to be competitive.

    Custom Light brackets maybe even with lights included a thought

    Nothing like getting the shop set up everything paid for a few hundred thousand in tools and goodies .

    Your health takes a turn changing oil is a all day job.

    Sadly I see this happen all to often it does not need to be a Shop it might be anything

    I hear that. I’ve got plenty of tools to do pretty much any job, really all I long for is a lift and a shop. I’ll be getting a shipping container first, most likely, then building a 20’ awning off the side. I’ll work under that while I save for a proper shop.

    Family and house priorities first.

    Threw together a quick roof rack for my wedge camper to borrow a canoe this weekend.

    The 80/20 camper frame made mounting super easy.

    Do you have a link for the small red lights? I'm wanting to get 3/4" ambers for the front of my "manx" project. I see the Amazon 10-packs for $20. I figured I can replace a lot of dead bulbs and still be cost effective. But if there is a special place for 2-quality lights you might know.

    I get mine thru Amazon ad well.

    I don't get too worked up on the quality ratings.

    The incandescents that I used 25 years ago would pop if you gave them a dirty look.

    I can't remember when I had an led fail...that wasn't my fault from blunt force trauma. They just work.
