Like I say, once I get to where I know how I am going with it, I will be able to decide on modded parts.
Looks like I will have the job, by next week. Went for the interview and went to get my DOT certificate, (DOT - Department of Transportation- It's basically a physical, eye test and drug test, to clear a person for driving commercial vehicles in the USA), so next week should be orientation time. I will be a driver until I get certification as an armed guard and till I get my weapons permits. One permit for guard work and another for personal carry. Time to start thinking about a pistol. Hey, I can make my own, with the lathe and drill press, LOL. No, don't get me started down that path!!
Around here, unless you are going to fill a minimum 20 yard dumpster, they will not collect. You can take it to them and get a few cents, but other than that, they don’t mess with it here. I will be saving the stuff in cardboard boxes and just drop it off every so often. Hopefully, only once or twice a year. When Carrier left, they were filling huge dump truck sized dumpsters and the scrap yard was only paying a few dollars, for those full dumpsters.
speed changes are a bigger issue when you change work diameters or materials alot, otherwise you can get a good finish by playing with depth of cut and feed rate. Using thick wall tubing is a great way to go, it just depends if whatever design you have allows it. You can get import S&D sets for not alot of money or used ones off eBay - a touch up on the grinder and stone and they'll work just as well as the fancy ones.
I agree completely. I’ve never been part of such a helpful and generous “online” group of people. This was a great demonstration of why this community is such an honor to be a part of… a community that Old Lumens contributed greatly in building. Love it!
Thanks, knowing it was there somewhere made me actually read all the replies. Again, a non-video person here (no, not video problems. Work machine, no speakers)
There’s a great set of stills in post# 135 for us motion-picture-impaired, though.
