Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Good idea as the next generation just might not have an appreciation for wood and toss it into the burn pile.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went up to the garage and stared at the Bug for awhile but it was too cold to do that for long.
Came back down and decided that watching an old sci-fi movie on HDTV was a much better idea. ![]() |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
i made some more progress on my floor project in my old car.slow going but progress.i orderedand waiting for a new bigger bead roller with a deeper throat to allow me to make the next panels,now that i'm passed the front seat area and the big "X" in the middle of the frame right under the seat and ordered some more clecos.i'm hoping to make the complete floor,held in place with clecos before i start to do any welding,in case there's revisions to make.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That looks awesome. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Did you order a powered bead roller with forward and reverse?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That stuff gets under my skin. That dealer probably doesn't keep that in stock, just orders one when requested. I always figured the investment in warehouse and inventory are what justify middleman profit.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
yes sir,drives me nuts.when i asked a week ago for the tracking number,he got all pissy with me telling me to refer to my original email when he said if i ordered on Friday,he'd ship the next week,well i didn't order til Monday,that week came and went,another week is here and almost gone,still not shipped but it's paid for?if he doesn't have a tracking number on Monday,i'm telling him i want my money back,i'll call Eastwood and have them ship it to my address at the border in Maine and i'll just go get it,4 hours away.it's not that difficult or shouldn't be??

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
i think it'll do a good job.i looked at several but they're mostly the same,likely all from the same chinese factory?i think i'll build a stand for it,maybe out of an old engine stand i have rather than mount it in a vice but we'll see.it ticks me off waiting on unreliable people to deliver the one i ordered,i'll be at Eastwood in October when we go to Williamsgrove Speedway to see the winged sprint cars but i can't wait til October?hurry up and wait.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Pic of the curly birch coat rack I built. It had tear-out about 1/16" deep. Good thing I have a drum sander. There is no way I'd've taken off that much material by hand, and the planer would just tear out more of the wood. That stuff is hard as rock. Love that figure, though!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Holy smokes! 5 Horsepower? I hope you get a good price for it. You don't even need a planer with a mawnster like that.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It’s a big unit but the guy down the street has one and a 25” inch planer . I don’t need a planer that big but the sander works nice on glue ups. Grizzly is cheaper than Amazon even with shipping

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not a bad price at all! For glue ups, I made a sled for a router using aluminum angle and a 2' X 4' piece of MDF. I obviously don't make big stuff like your kitchen counter with it.
