This truck is so choice!

Definitely gives me motivation to resume work on my '50.

Also:

Other than that, just be working at my business. Here is some of the stuff I have done.

This table and stool set. I want...

Everything is looking great man! I've been wanting to do some similar style projects as that chair you built, with plasma cut plate/sheet parts, rivets and all that good stuff. Just reminds me of a rad old bridge or something.

I'm also seeing the bottom feet you built for those first two cool tables pictured, looks like 2x1" rectangle tube cut at a pretty deep angle. I always dread having to cut angles like that because I have to get real funky with stops and clamps on my HF band saw. Been wanting to figure out a good solution to that dilemma, and I think my only option is to build it.

Anyways, keep it up dude!

Upright bandsaw man! I got an old 14" wood bandsaw that I geared down and slapped a bi-metal blade on. Thing works great and cost less the $200. Not to mention the savings of not having to be using cutting discs so much!

I am really trying to get set up for a plasma table. I just finished up a deal with a furniture store that is going to start carrying my chair. As soon as I get some cash flow, I am buying one!

Well I guess this is my last post on this forum as....





The truck has sold.

The welder I had been using for my business was a borrowed unit and the other the guy called and said he wanted it back. I had known this would eventually happen but it ended up being a surprise and since it was my main tool, I needed to get one of my own asap. So, next day I went out and picked up a new miller!



I upgraded to a larger bottle which, is so much nicer. It's a 211 and it works so good. It sucks they are so expensive but, just such a great machine. In my opinion its worth the price.

But I had to sell the truck to fill the void of money. It had been almost a year exactly since I had last worked on it. Wish I didn't have to sell but I learned a ton on it and it basically was the driving board for my business. As we were loading it, the guy was tell me plans of chopping and making it a convertible and I was just like " Nooooooooooo! don't tell me that" but it's not my truck so he can do whatever he wants I guess.

Business has been slow and always challenging. I've have connected up with a few stores and have a bunch of work displayed. I finally bit the bullet and bought a CNC plasma table! The thing is awesome! Working on a few deals with some stores which should bring some more consistant cash flow to my life.



Hopefully I will have another project I can post on here. I keep looking at my mini and can't keep from putting together build list.
