So amazing to be able to make things that you previously “hoped” some vendor would sell you for a 200% markup.

The 12 ton from HF is a pos in my opinion, but it’s been demoted to be a press brake only. Works fine for that. But I’ll be getting a real press before the next gear job. I had to drive to a shop and borrow their press last time. But I’ll keep of for the 12” brake, as it was like $160. So screw...

You built your own brake?! Damned impressive.

I never even thought of using the tractor bucket. Hmm.

I have that same 12” press brake I’m guessing. Or at least similar. As you said, awesome for small things. But to do something long would require creativity and small width tabs and multiple bends. It would be reallly hard to get something to turn out well.

The fun for me is doing it myself. I’m looking into a 48” or wider brake.

Great idea. Love it. Do places like that bend as well? I can cut, and bend up to 12” wide stuff, but if I wanted to do larger stuff, I’d be looking for a used really wide brake.

I need to do more of that. Works great, and I sometimes forget that it’s a great option. I’ve been looking at the costs of the rocker protection plates out there. It’s insane how much vendors want for a flat piece of aluminum or steel with one single bend in it. I’m strongly considering buying...

Unrelated, I just ordered the one linked below. I wanted the most wattage in a handheld. Same brand. I also ordered a pack of various coils. I know when I get it back I’m going to need to hit 6 body bolts on a 5 year old jeep. I’m not risking it. Even though this was expensive. And I’m pretty...

Meaning anyone old enough to have actually been required to learn basic drafting in school? :)

I was pretty sure it was computer aided drafting.

I switched to a simple, but heavy duty one from rock krawler. Very happy with it. And much stronger.

I had the same one for a while. Couldn’t for the life of me find an orientation where there wasn’t a conflict. The best I figured out was to have the piggyback pointing down instead of up.

You need an outline of Jean Luc Picard next to it.

I’ve always been of the same mind.

I’m seeing pretty big price gaps depending on vendor and wattage. Is the induction innovations vendor that much better? They’re typically 200 more for comparable stuff from solary. It seems like the highest 110v units are 1800w. I’m inclined to go big or go home if it’s a $100 difference...

I wish I knew how to use cad.

What a perfect video, and perfect timing. I’m currently outdoors, in shorts, and a jacket, drinking scotch, by the fire. Why? No good reason whatsoever. Warmer inside? Oh yeah. Would I rather be comfortable? Nope. I’d rather be alive. Also, my wife absolutely went to bed and rolled her eyes...

I haven’t been to Japan since I was in 5th grade. Definitely on the short list for a family trip someday. Someday.

Holy shit they were good. First time having wagyu. Like expensive scotch, I wish I’d never tried it.
