I bought 3 of these to help trap and contain metal chips and debris in front of my machines. Price point wasn't too bad and they do what I bought them to do although they are a bit to stiff to really be called anti-fatigue...

Buy a welder and learn, that's all I've done, and don't let me fool you, I have a ton more to learn yet! I was taught to stick weld back in the day but I learned MIG from watching videos on the Miller welding site and Youtube. FYI, Friday was the first time EVER welding steel with my MIG. I've...

I ran out of time this week as I head back to work at 3am Saturday morning but I plan to drag home a few buckets of dirt to fill it in next week. Ideally I want to dig up some plugs of established sod about 6” deep and plant those. It’s getting late in the season to start patching sod or...

Well, since I don’t do anything involving skis any more, the safest guess would be something turtle related.[emoji16] We have been feeding our turtles daily for the past year and they are wreaking havoc on our shoreline. They’ve eroded away close to a foot already and we can’t stand to lose an...

Not quite sure how this is going to work out but I had an idea and a stack of aluminum to play with so let’s hope this solves the problem it’s intended to.

I have an OCD built stator with brand new OEM coils and a new harness for $350 shipped.

She’s out of surgery now and doing well so it wasn’t her that coded and I can relax. The question I have is, if a patient codes and they bring them back, are they obligated to tell the family or does it all get swept into the term “complications”, and they roll on like business as usual...

Today’s view is the inside of a Hospital. Currently sitting in the waiting room while my wife goes under the knife for the third tine in the last year. She’s 8 minutes into her procedure and they start calling out a code blue in the OR room so I’m freaking out a bit.

The Driftwood made me invincible.

Well, I do have a flu, just not the COVID-19 strain so I get to go home tomorrow. :p :cool: :p :cool: That was gonna suck balls!

I’m currently working a 34 day stretch bringing all the new equipment online that we spent the last 8 months building. I got 2 days left to go before I get 10 days off and I get hammered with a sinus infection that shares all the same symptoms as Covid. So, I’m spending my day in line waiting...

Did you dilute the rubbing alcohol at all? I have a misting system on my mill that I could try out with alcohol instead of my typical WD-40 and it wouldn’t require any cleaning afterwards.

Pretty much what I expected but I ordered a couple different sticks to test out. A better option might be to plumb an air line to the saw and use an air blast to cool the cutting area. Plus it blows away the chips

These days I use the cheapest carbide blades I can find and stock up when they are on sale. You can trash a good one in a few cuts or a cheap one so why waste the money. Speed of cut and cooling plays a huge factor. I’m also looking into waxing my blades but any lubricant makes cleaning and...

I’m turning a bunch of scrap aluminum into a Turtle Death Star.

Salt Peter? To make you less “Randy” on these hot summer nights? [emoji1783]

I put a 5ton AC unit in a 400sq/ft control room and it crapped out after 2 days. So now I have $100K worth of servers and 5 start-up engineers in a control room that is currently at 98F. Oh, and it rained, for like 5 minutes.

I swear I have one as well, I just keep forgetting to look.

Is your lanyard plugged in? The starter circuit is not tied to the ignition in any way so it's actually fairly simple. Check voltage at each of the points marked below and report back your findings.
