Picked up the vast majority of the needed metal for the press for $30 from my Dad's scrap pile.

Helluva score for $30.

Just tap into next months budget. I hear ya though... I have a list of things that I'd "like" to have. I bought two nutsert guns this month along with a bunch of nutserts. They have been on my "those would be nice to have" list for a while. I saw Ian using the Westwood gun on Extreme 4x4 and bought the same one, just its like a rivet gun, you have to use one hand to squeeze it. So I also ordered the one where you use both hands. Now to just come up with a project to use them. Hmmm.

No pics. I'll try to grab some later.

Pretty sure they were using them on a Jeep to install sliders so it sounds like you need to buy a Jeep.

$50 solution for when a $1.20 solution just wouldn't look nice.

I would be planning projects around it too!!!

LOL.. Come on... its better than a $1.20 solution. Maybe a $4 solution.

Would be pretty handy for putting a thin skin metal around a frame.

 

[Silverback]

Yeah... thats what I'm thinking.

Who doesn't like a nice dimple? Hopefully I am putting these to use in a few weeks. These will get me started at least. There is a 1", 3/4", and a 1/2" die ready for use. My sandwich maker does pretty good at getting me stuff for our anniversary.

 

[Silverback]

Which brand is that?

 

[tx_shooter]

PacificCustomUnlimited aka China. They are good enough for casual use. They are a bit thicker past the dimple area which is why I picked them over the other import brands.

Picked up a couple things for the new welder and plasma today. Photo reminds me.. I need to cover that AllPoo sticker with something.

I finally have a plasma. No more borrowing when it's time to do some fab work.

It's an older Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 50.

It had been sitting for a while so I took the cover off and shot some compressed air in to clean it out a little. Looks like it is going to work just fine.

I just put the stickers on upside down so they are in "dire distress" right from the beginning. I think having their parts on my truck is why it blew up. Now that I've removed the last part from them, maybe one day it will get better
