My mini Nitrogen chute cannister needs a final coat of colour and the Carbon holding it is about 8mm thick.
Overkill????:wink:
If you all think it's diminutive it's OK. At least I know it will be fully gassed before any run. Old lessons last.

Thanks Bob. I thought everyone used phones these days?. Geez, I opened the forum on my phone and I needed a magnifying glass. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I guess that's what I have -- whatsa G.

In the last year I did complete one call -- to my wife.  She was 10 feet away and tutored me.

My PC is a rocket but I've never bought a phone in my life.
I get hand me downs. I don't even buy airtime. It's a camera that receives calls and only works off the Wi-Fi at home.
Even the gardener has a fancy phone. I don't know where they find the money?.

He's not really mine.
TK works for the old lady.
I refuse to cut lawn.  :wink:

Sid, the workshop is my domain. As long as I'm dry I'm happy.
This boy has mental issues!!!. I was in the bush for two months and it was still raining when we were pulled out.
I've given the shop a new name. The "Depression Depot". I'm in a bad mood lately.
Today I embark on a new adventure. I need to roll some 3mm Aluminium so I have to build a sheet metal roller from
scrap. If you don't hear from me you know the dudes from the mental home took me.

Funny guys!!!!!.

I got into this because of addiction.
Some coke head asked me to build stuff for his BMW "land speed record" car.
We had a fight and I needed to prove a point.

Turns out he was a waste of space and I'm an idiot!.

I was the guy telling kids to buy golf clubs and don't go near the black hole.  :dhorse:

Got no lathe or milling machine but I need some sheet metal rolled.
There's a South African saying, 'n Boer maak 'n plan AKA a farmer makes a plan!.

I'm building a backyard sheet roller. Got a box of bearings and of 40 none match.
1 is perfect so I'll get it a buddy. The other four shaft ends will run metal on metal with the help of Copper Slip.
It's not like it's going to do 7,000RPM!!!.

Got some 1" plate which is a leftover bit from waterjet cutting for the ends.
The machine will be called "Bitsa". Bitsa this and bitsa that. Africa at its finest. Can't find anyone with a roller!!!!!.
Freaking stone age here. Stay tuned.  lol8
