Carr Lane fasteners has all kinds of these knobs. Carrlane.com. They are called eyebolts.

I’ve been getting that crap coming through on my phone. It’s almost like back in the old days when we had party lines. and one more thing I noticed, when it happens, the Siri little logo is lit up and spinning.

Lincoln logs, tinker toys, erector sets, and hot wheels kept me pretty busy as a kid.

Wrist rocket! 👍

Did I just read on the Bing page that he’s trying to create a port of entry in San Diego for Mexico to import products without being tariff? This guy is unbelievable.

I too have a daughter 31 years old with cerebral palsy. Her mother my wife did not survive the birth. Life moves on years later she now works for a large department store and is very supported by her fellow employees and management. but it still gets to me when she comes home and tells me her...

True story. I was in third grade at Marshall Elementary school in Rosemead California. I had become quite a marble shooter in my younger days and during lunchtime out of the schoolyard, I would shoot marbles with the other kids and I was taking their marbles because every marble that you knock...

I had expected some chatter but got none. I used a .015 radius tip which probably helped. I used a .050 depth of cut and a .010 finish. I had a .012 cross travel per revolution and fractured the insert from the side load. I cut it down to .008 per revolution for the rest of the job. This stuff...

Good chip break. I think I need a overhead crane for this Lathe. Lol

Chuck swap. It takes 2 people.

SLO-MO Melting copper. You can see the copper trying to melt right at the tip of the insert.

Now the copper. Once again, these are a connector for multiple power cables bolting to something that uses a huge amount of electricity. Made from number 110 copper. This time went a lot easier than the first job I ran from this company. I used really sharp raked aluminum inserts. I took Len’s...

First the aluminum. These are some sort of an endcap for a pressure vessel that has a shaft going through the center that operates something, I’m not sure. The less I know, the safer I am. This is 1 inch aluminum plate. The plates were too big for my biggest lathe so I had to mill them.

Such a nice victory compliment. Sometimes I forget what our president means to Great Britain.

That is freaking funny!
