Todays Project - What did you do today?

if you run enough amps, 6010 and 6011, even if soaking wet, will dry out as you weld. I've pulled them out of can with rain water in them, the run fine.

Body filler will do what you want and paint will stick to it.

LOL! Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!

I shouldn't admit this, but I can attest it works wonders.

I told a guy I work with about using body filler. He's a good welder. He laughed and said he's done that!

Chinese are good at using it on everything

Time to bore you again with wood.
After fixing the planer, I was feeding the laminated sides through and what I thought was a nail reared its ugly head. Shoot I said. Pulled the cover off the planer and couldn't find the missing chunk of blade. Got the awl out to check the nail, and low and behold it was a bullet. Luckily not steel jacketed.


This is a jig I made (in the metal shop) to cut dovetails on the ends of stock for sliding joints. The guide bar is adjusted with the threads on the end to set the thickness and if wanted taper in the finger.



The product, oh, the lumber is quarter sawn Ash cut on the sawmill again made in the metal shop. Funny how they go together.

A bullet, what a trip, when building my wife's 32 truck. The tailgate had a few rounds put thru it, counted 5, Thanked my lucky starts it was not a machine gun they were using.
People love to shoot trees and old trucks, spot some old iron in a field odds are it will have a few holes.

Wanted to leave them, more realistic than some decal. LOL However my idea was over ruled by the owner..
