Maccas66 the bender thingy was given to by a buddy I helped with a trailer build. Can make. Fancy scrolls with it if you know what your doing. I don't. Fun to play with though.

Rodcrafter the organized garage thing could be OCD. I've been known to clean and put everything back in its place only to start working and making a mess again.

Sure beats the "standing looking lost, thinking to one's self. Where the hell did I put that?"

Hey Smurf

That is funny, my wife told me that it is really CDO because other wise it is out of order.

Every time I put something away I can never find it again, I think it is a senior moment

Are those Dick Cepek wheels on that trailer ? Wow. That is going to be sweet.

Smurf · Post by **Smurf** » March 1st, 2013, 10:01 pm

Thanks Mike. Not Cepek but something I found online.

Got a little more done this morning. Other domestic household stuff needs attended to. Just not as much fun as farting around in the garage.

Ah Yes!

1) Welds that work.
2) Welds that work and are grindable to look like someone cared.
3) Welds that work and are good looking enough to be ready for paint.
4) Welds that will pass all the above and carry a major load.
5) Welds that meet or exceed some government standard for nuclear rod cooling (very pricey).

I always shoot for number five, and usually get number 1.

Smurf · Post by **Smurf** » March 3rd, 2013, 7:26 pm

I strive for no. 3 but have a lot of extra sanding disc handy.

TuscaloosaQ · Post by **TuscaloosaQ** » March 4th, 2013, 7:32 am

Smurf I know this from being a pipefitter and welder for years any sharp turn restricts flow,,,, you may be fine, again your cooker is awesome true pride taken in all aspects, it is the little things I notice you are going the extra mile. Where did you get those wheels they are very very nice!!!!! I really like the break on the end of the firebox consider that to be on one of my cookers soon. I love angels!!!!!!

Smurf · Post by **Smurf** » March 4th, 2013, 3:39 pm

Smurf · Post by **Smurf** » March 7th, 2013, 3:38 pm
