F-me. 7 years already? Time flies when you're on the run.
's been good. Really had a wonderful time every time I've hung out with folks (SoCal fest's etc) and I've learned a ton. I still can't help trying some weird stuff every now and then, which hopefully keeps this thread interested.
Completely agree re: forums superiority vs. social media, not just being civil, but the ability to search what others have done is invaluable... Actually one of the few things that I don't like about is not being allowed to edit posts when I find errors after the fact. It's just dumb. None of the other forums I'm on do this...
Speaking of Hawaii there's news:
I almost don't want to jinx it least the deal fall apart, but we are in escrow to buy a home that'll have us end up with a workshop on a few acres. We're through home inspection and only little stuff found there, so that's the first big thumbs up. If the appraisal comes in we should be in good shape.
For what it's worth, here's the garage & shop. Current owner's stuff (he's a wood worker).
The office just upgraded to LED light fixtures and they offered up the old T8 versions to employees so I brought home a few.
Best part of the house is a huge wrap around porch.
Backyard's not half bad either.
Massive garden that hopefully is cool without taking over my life... I think it has 17 kinds of fruit? I'm just stoked that it has both avocados and cilantro. Guacamole for days!!!
Anyone wants to check out the Big Island I'm sure we're game to host.

At first I wondered how many gazillions they were paying you to work there...
Then I looked up real estate on the big island and it's not too different than SoCal... Nice score sir!
Got any more detail on that? I was under the impression we mostly cared about service conditions and durometer... I don’t have nitrile in the right size at the moment, but it's probably worth a try.
Yeah, make a full sized table on wheels...never know when ya may need it.
I made one, and it fits perfectly under the bench in the 1st pic (think nesting tables). It has held a TF727 trans/np203/np205 setup with no problem....
That's pretty trick... I have the casters from my HF tool boxes lying around so that wouldn't be too bad to make a stout rolling work surface. I also have a leftover chunk of butcher block that measures 25 by 26.5" (more of of a utility cart kinda size but I could tuck it under my weld bench this way).
I was thinking I might use that piece of butcher block for a base on my mitre saw but the benefit of the roving cart/table version is probably higher. I can make a basic steel base for the saw. Either way I want to mount the saw on something as it lives on my weld table now and you have to move it to use it. I'm planning to use the deck of the mag brake next to it as a material extension when I chop stuff.
Interesting... I don't have much ability to hook up and wheel with folks these days so I let mine expire a while back. I might need to look into that again.
Wow I just spend 3 hours reading this entire thing. All because of a search on frame stiffeners and down the rabbit hole I went. Great work.
More info on the white car??
