Those dies, saved me a lot of time and curse words. A little more than an hour, in it, with some hammer work. An I'm happy with the panel.





I don't think I'll have much more time involved, but something tells me I probably will

Looking good, Jess!

When did you move from Cali????
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Thanks Mike. I'm Jay . Appreciate that.

Bone head mistake yesterday. Grinding an ended up with steel in my eye. Off to the ER, to get the boulder out. It was so small, it wouldn't even show up on my camera. Glad it's out , an I'm the proud new owner of some spiffy new goggles.

Never again

Jay, I've had that happen once, a bunch of times. I've found goggles, or the glasses that have the spiffy shields on the sides prevent it from happening.

Although I did have one instance where I was doing a lot of work. Safety glasses and all. A few days later my eye was bothering me, and sure enough, somehow one of those little pieces of shrapnel found its way around my glasses.
Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish. The product of a demented hill billy who has found a way to live out where the winds blow. To sleep late, have fun, drink whiskey, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love or getting arrested.    H.S. Thompson

Jay, that's a bad one. I'm a two time loser. That pain is worse than anything I've experienced. The headache that comes with it is a nasty one. When the doctor finally removed it he put it on a white piece of paper. It looked like a fine short hair. My missus says "all that for something so small". The doctor says lady, that is one of the biggest foreign bodies I've removed in a long time.

I bought el cheapo motocross goggles because the normal glasses aren't as good as I thought. The last missile hit my cheek and bounced off the inside of the lens and then into my eye.

I hope you feel better.  :cheers: :cheers:

I picked up splash proof goggles. So we'll see
