shop talk

with comments like that og, im locking my shop doors. at one time, i considered building myself one but got sidetracked on building other tools. maybe when work slows down a little, i can start on another project tool.

Yeah mud, You're the second person who told me log splitters are deadly! I did some research and found out that if you keep your head away from the ram and the wedge they are relatively safe. og

brass flush rods out of sloan closet fixtures. still have a few here. they are no more than 6 inches long but i have made blunt ends, pointed ends, and slotted ends out of them.

log splitter huh. sounds deadly

what ya make the punches from, brad?

no new tools either. at least ones from the store. have to build all mine at the shop.
anyone need any small brass punches?? just made 1/2 dozen of them.

Hey mud, I don't belong to a group yet and I saw you are the only member so I figured I'd join! I also noticed you are from Michigan. I don't have any new tools, but I am in the process of building a log splitter. It should be finished in a week or so, I'll post a photo then. SEE YA! og

i bought myself a new torch to replace my little MAP/OXY toy. just have to wait to get a good tank from the parts store so i can play with it.
