    Lazy machine shop rant

    So I sent my 4 banger Camry block off to get decked... got it back a few days ago and after unwrapping I noticed one big thing: they decked it incorrectly. Lazy bastards threw it on one of those large belt sanders. Quick, dirty, and leaky. Surface finish was similar to that of a belt sanded...

    Rant Alert- A myriad of school provoked thoughts

    You can't do it. :smartass: School sucks; suck it up. I've managed to keep my hobbies well alive while maintaining honor roll, A/B grades, all honor classes and top 10% rank. No excuse for anybody else on here to fail school ;) Meh. You'll eventually find some things in school relevant...

    Rant Alert- A myriad of school provoked thoughts

    I wouldn't say giving up a chance for higher education would lead to an improvement in society... Personally, I'm going to college because I have a drive to learn more in engineering (mech and elec), yet I have a welding certification and computer cert. to fall back on. BTW Devino, how old art...

    Rant Alert- A myriad of school provoked thoughts

    Lol. I blame society. Society, not us, pushes us into our career. You wouldn't believe how many people in the top 10% of my high school is absolutely, positively CLUELESS about their future and major. It's ridiculous.

    Help, with my welds (MIG)

    No, he's most definitely GMAWing. Move slower. You can MIG on top of scale. It's not ideal, but works okay for mass-practice.

    run time question

    I had mine at 200% for a year. Killed two sets of batteries and a controller, then the frame. Still have the motor. Looks great inside. That's not solder.

    Experience with Grizzly drill press

    Ryobi?! My HF mini drill press has been going on 4+ years now, drilling only metal O_O I'd personally save up a bit more and get a mini mill.

    what upset me today (very off topic)

    Who gives a **** about the school board? Go straight to court. The school board is trying to save their own ***, why would they try to help you?

    what upset me today (very off topic)

    LOL who the hell told you that? Evidence is evidence, regardless. If you have to put up with her BS accusations and you've already done all you can (actually ATTEMPTED it, not just assume your principal won't don't jack), then start filin'.

    what upset me today (very off topic)

    Odd. Never had these problems and I was a skinny azn boi freshmen year. But we grew up in different societies. Just go talk to her in person. She gets pissy, you don't. Act mature and walk away. If she still pursues you, find out her parents and talk to them. Always carry around a camcorder or...

    anyone here own a shop o.o

    No necessarily industrial, but a shop that is registered and pays tax, ect LOL :) It's a piston coating - it's hazardous without the proper safety equipment (like anything), so they won't sell direct to consumers. I already had a source of it in the past (and thus have the equipment), but I...

    Welder Choice.

    Go on eBay and buy a $7 shipped set of welding sleeves. Harbor Freight welding gloves went from crap to better than name brand (seriously, last year I split a pack of 3 in a month, and now it's been ~4 months and nothing O_O)
