The first few times I went to the Columbia swap, it was 90% Roundy-round stuff. Its been getting better every year though, as far as Rod related...
Looking good Rusty. I didn't go to work today either. When I went out to start the truck, it was snowing so hard I couldn't even see the...
I like that too. You are in contact with him right now with an audience that can make or break your business, but you tell him to contact you...

Thats all we use too, and we use anywhere from 50 to 100 of the 4 1/2" wheels per week. As many as we use, we have tried just about every major...
I'm not, but my cousin is. Two years of construction training, then he was supposed to go to Iraq and help them rebuild. When he got there, he...
We use one at my work (Fab shop), but it is a purpose built saw made by Milwaukee. Looks like a slightly fancier version of a Milwaukee chop saw....

Grille? Who needs it?
I agree with nominating Denise and Bruce Lancaster.
Here's Fulton last night. 1"+ of sleet, followed by 1/2" of snow, then nice clear Ice on top of it all. Now they are calling for more Ice today...
"Mugs Up" in Columbia Missouri. Been there for 50 years, they make their own Rootbeer, and it's only open in the summer. Good, greasy food, but...
That looks like Stainless to me.
A salesman came into our shop one day and tried to sell us some of that crap. He "welded" (soldered,actually) a penny to the bottom of a soda can,...
