Mine too.(y)

Thats what I would check. I found that the factory put quite a severe bend in my cable by using a “zip tie” to hold the cable. When they replaced the cable under warranty, I cut that “zip tie” off to allow for a “more gentle” bend radius. The hope is that the large bend radius will eliminate...

I have the same “jitter problem”. I really try to use “straight edges” and/or “patterns” when doing freehand stuff. Admittedly though, thats not always possible/practicable. 🤷‍♂️

A couple of things about “dross” in general. In my semi-limited experiences, I have found that using a “wide chisel” bit works pretty well for dross removal on thicker material, and saves some time. On some of my “thinner” projects with less dross, a “cupped wire wheel” works better than...

Just thinking out loud here. I would think that hardening would be best, but not really necessary from your description. If its not going to see that much use, I probably wouldn’t go through the hassle. Just my .02

+1,000 No way I would trust that tube now. And normally I refrain from critiquing peoples welding skills, cause I ain't the best….but I gotta just say WOW, those are some ugly welds in that first pic……. :eek:

The HOA would have a "sh1t fit” if I tried that. Here is a pic of them at a HOA meeting…..

Thank you sir!

I don’t care how/if/when/why they do it?🤷‍♂️……………. I’ll be dead. ;) The wife absolutely refuses to move, so I told her about all the sh1t I was going to do, and she said…”Go ahead…….As long as I don’t have to move, I don't care what you do." GAME ON!!! or 4. wife is too stubborn to move to...

Thank you for the kind words,…... and your generous offer sir. ;)

I felt my heart sink, as that rope began to stretch…... But it "held strong”, We had “head sets” on so we could talk to each other and through a series of slow moves using the Vermeer to hold it in place and slowly inch it down, we "gently guided” it. “Houston……The Eagle has landed"

She rolls in just perfect. Then after a "247 point turn" We rig her up for “The BIG MOMENT" It is at this point when I am mentally going crazy!!!!!!! I feel my pulse racing…... 10,000 things are racing through my mind simultaiously……"It’s actually going to happen…."...
