Shop Time w/T.W. Friends.

I have a question, how many people know why most doors for commercial applications are double beveled? Only about 6 people in the company I worked at knew why.

 

Installed the new dishwasher today. Test cycle went smoothly. Well run our first load later today.

 

My 3 year old was playing around with my tape measure about 2 hours ago. Now it’s missing and I need it. Lol

 

If you get lucky you will find it with the rest of his toys. at least he is learning what we all do. Setting it down and looking for a couple hrs on our own. At least you got someone to blame it on

 

Always have a spare for each hand

 

I'm assuming strength. Flat metal is weak, bends make them stronger.

 

Unfortunately this was the spare!!!!!!
My wife accidentally cut my Fat Max Extreme a few years back with her fabric shears and I never replaced it.

 

I think I'm more disappointed that you only have one.

I could understand if it was a yard stick...they aren't making them any longer.

 

Sounds like SHE needs to replace it!

 

why I converted to Meter Sticks

I know I’m disappointed in myself as well. I’m overflowing with 6” calipers. But only one tape measure

Stay at home mom. That means I need to replace it. And they don’t make the Extreme version of the Fat Max tape measure anymore.

 

Now I gotta look that one up.

 

Is it different than this one?

Actually the panel has the DBL bevel for the smoke seal so it doesn't become hinge bound. This is on hollow metal frame. Sometimes people miss order and hang a single bevel and the door wants to bind or pop open. One fix to get by with having the seal in this case and pass fire code is to split it and have a single layer so it closes. Providing it is hung properly.and the sheetrockers didn't f it up.

 

Yeah. The original from the 2004 era was much beefier and could span out to almost 19 feet before folding. It was the one I used when I was a contractor.
The new ones are crap.

 

I think I may have one, but it is duel units version. I don't care for the either or u its, so it sits I'm my drawer doing nothing.

 

Sounds like a good shop challenge to me

 

Was it silver or yellow?
