    I've never heard if that. Is it DIY or are you a dealer?

    My hero! Is this something you are doing as a one-off? Or could a feller order a couple of these?

    Any drawbacks?

    All done on the mill, with a rotary table I imagine? 3 rims per tool, yikes, that would add up in a production run for sure.

    Wonder if the rims are too hard to broach the splines rather than doing it all with the mill?

    Built a rack to hold some of my bars and chains. I need to add a perpendicular 2 sided arm in middle (to create a T) so I can unbox and sort another 300 or so chains.

    It will now be harder for my bars to gather dust.

    It is literally supposed to be THE best spray available right now. Runs about $1k for a 50 gallon barrel of poly and a 50 gallon barrel of resin.

    I know that Rhino linings is not much, I've seen some trucks with it peeling. How much does it cost to do a shortbed truck with ultimate?

    I charge $450. Includes a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. Warranty is good towards pealing/delaminating but not damage from abuse.

    Worked on a 5K watt powermate generator today. Belongs to someone I know and doing it as a favor. It would run but no power. Pulled the brush block out and one brush got to short and started arching and then melted the plastic from heat and there it froze in place. Ordered another brush block. Cost. $ 7.50 .

    Working on pulling my hair out. Trying to cut crown molding for the dining room. Cathedral ceiling and a wall that's not at 90 degrees, roughly 130, is just insane. Beer friggin thirty about now.

    Anybody remember these? The venerable Tomahawk chippers!

    image.jpeg
    New carb, fuel line and a shut-off valve , she chooches pretty good. This one is a bit of a project for a friend. In addition to the above, the breather line was clogged (mud wasps) and it desperately needs a new knife for the chipper portion. Of course the bolts holding the knife were hopeless, I wound up drilling the heads off 'em. I dumped the mouse house under the recoil cover and replaced the chewed off kill wire too.

    But it still kicks the chit outta anything available at the box stores these days.
