consumables are killing me!

I know little stuff adds up. Just make mental notes of what u need and buy it , When you have a chance. Keep rotating stock,All the time.Don't even think about the prices. Otherwise you'll find yourself working at Mc'Donalds and buying a car done.

 

Damn good prices, gonna stock up , abouit half of what i'm paying

 

I thought thats what 1" masking tape was for and WD40 for burns?

 

cut off wheels go fast!!! especially when they explode on you and almost take out your pops eyes who was just standing there doing nothing

 

-2 trips to the ER for metal in the eye (only one had to get drilled)
-2 broken fingers
-1 broken thumb
-3 broken toes (very heavy-set friend helping me on the stomp sheer)
-god knows how many burns
Yes, I know how much THAT stuff costs.

 

#### I had an old dude tell me that the sticky stuff on electrical tape was a secret ointment and would heal cuts and so-forth quicker so you can toss out the band-aids and buy more electric tape !! >>>>.

 

I started the build on my 33 P/U in mid Jan. I had the cab, (chop was done) steel for the ch***is, most of the suspension ft and rear. rear wheels and motor and trans. I figured 3 months and 3 grand to get it running and driving. I'm now into it 6 months & 5 grand.(I did add a lot of chrome and polished aluminum. to the build)
I think I have a grand to go, and another 6 weeks. If I only double both of those figures I'll be a happy man!

None of these figures include drugs and ******s!

 

I bought a new WF Wells Bandsaw 20+ years ago and made a deal that included 12 Bi-metal Starrett Blu-mol Blades, use the saw a lot, still have 6 blades. one of the secrets is good coolant.

 

My bandsaw is "dry".

dammit.

 

I worked for a company that ran a dry machine shop. No coolant. Just stupid.

For band saw blades just buy spools and use a blade welder. Most big band saws have one on it.

 

Oh, I'm with the other guys.....Bandaides?

Hell no....CO-PAYS and the resultant "We're only paying this much and you can pay the rest"

What really pisses me off is when I use all of my PPE and STILL end up in the ER....

Case in point, I hadda chunk of slag go through my safety gl***es.....and imbed itself in my eye....Now I wear a set of safety gl***es AND a full face sheild...granted had I not been wearing gl***es I woulda lost my eye but still....

 

Budget? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not when it comes to sand paper , cut off wheels and items like that . I buy when I need them , that's just one of those things you gotta have !
