I've been out of these forever. Sure I could have sold something else but I just like these babys. I only have lathes so this is work that needs sent out. The last guy did them out of his garage as he was retired. Then he traded his machine to a guy for a bass boat and now is really retired...
The shop next door is closing down. I'm sad and happy at the same time about it. Happy because Clyde is 77 years old and has worked his ass off his entire life. It is time for him to hit the road in that RV for sure.
Sad because he's been a great mentor and friend over the years.
Sold...
I moved into a new shop and need to get my machines wired up ASAP. I did it all myself at the last place. The building inpector wants to see the equipment installed before he signs off on the new spot. I found out yesterday that electrial permits are the only ones that a biz owner can not...
what the heck, not much getting posted in here these days so I figured I'll toss up this baby. I've been making fittings that fit most of the GM transmissions for some time now. They fit the T350, T400 700R's and the 4L60's. Some dude bought some for his 4L80E and his trans guy gave one the...
Ok, my stone age phone needs replaced. The dang thing is just to beat down and won't ring any longer. It's been kinda nice really. I can call out but no one can call and bug me. lol But I do need to replace it and seeing as I have a web store and an e bay store it would be nice to be able to...
I am running a batch of -6AN to 5/16" hardline fittings. These parts were not available in aluminum until now. They should be a real problem solver for some folks. Most of the cars from the big 3 have this size tube for fuel lines and trans cooler lines and no body made an easy to use adapter...
My oldest childhood friend parents have a lake house right down the street from my parents. The parents have passed but the kids still have the lake house. This guy has been there his entire life so its not like hes a noob around boats.
Anyway he was down in the lake messing around with...
Not much going on in this forum so I figured I would toss up some photos of these little dodads I made out of 347 stainless.
Spray nozzels for some waste water thing of some sort. They ran better the expected and that's always nice (and doesn't happen often)
I'm sorry but this entire deal just makes me laugh ..... and think of you at the same time.
This twisted dude has been taking a big steamy dump in the same spot on the same trail EVERY Tuesday afternoon for F'in years. And we just figured out who it is. I have to admit he got me on the first...
Hands down the best boat race in So Cal every year.
So who all is going? Is RDP going to be tossing out t shirts at this one too?
We're setting up a booth at this one so if you go please be sure to stop by.
Here are some really neat photos of William Doxford and Sons from the 50's. I've looked at these photos a few times and notice something new every time. Good luck getting that many skilled craftsman under one roof today...
I did NOT have to put my dog down today.
The bad news is at least to me, she has taken that turn and it's just a matter of time. I'll find out for sure when I pick her up at the vet after work. I went though this same thing a little over a year ago with her sister. So I've got a pretty...
