    What do you build?

    Weldman, you are crazy, man: I love ya!! Have you thought about some kind of closer on those doors? If the wind catches those and someone's on the wrong side of them....do you think?!

    What do you build?

    Stanley, and Craftsman too, had good product way back when! Might even still be to this day, but I haven't had a need for any new tools for a long time (because the old ones were built so good).

    What do you build?

    It's looking Boss, Boss! Any plans for anything between the slab edges and the sidewalls? Because you know that's the FIRST palce your high-dollar wrenches are going to drop... :naner::wreckerman893::naner:

    What do you build?

    Weldman, it's a work of art; no kidding. Just curious, did you ever make a sketch of your idea before starting on the build? Or are you just building as you go?!

    What do you build?

    Glad you kept your cool. Nice work! How did you screed that slab (especially the portions in the middle): - no intermediate formwork to guide on Did you drive pieces of vertical rebar to-height randomly around the area? Or just how did you work that?!

    What do you build?

    The slab looks great, Weldman! That is some serious yeaoman's work you and your sweetheart placed there. Outstanding. The service pit is brilliant!! Man. Nice job!!

    What do you build?

    Loving the updates, Weldman! Couplathree questions for you: - What is that insulation, some kind of spray-on product? Thickness (just to kill the radiant heat from the metal panerls into the space)? - And things look mighty dry out there (soil, grasses and all), is that regular for your...

    Pretty amazing that you pulled it off in just one year. We love the projects, bring 'em all on, Brother!!

    What do you build?

    Weldman, you are the Michaelangelo of pole barns! But I tell you it scares me to think of you walking on those light-guage studs, man they're not dersigned for lateral loads like that. But I know you used your horse sense there about it. Now how did you work those rounded cap end pieces, are...

    What do you build?

    You know what you're doing, Weldman; and I should have known as much! Yeah, fiber-mesh was just becoming a thing about the time I wound down my years in the business (and it would seem to be a "no-brainer" for any flatwork). Sawcutting some control joints as a final step is likely on your...

    What do you build?

    Placing concrete is bull labor for sure. Maybe offer some high school football team a "real world" experience and feed them lunch in exchange for their labor placing the mix and later on the slab. Hire one good concrete man to direct/watch them. Of course, this might just make trouble. If...

    What do you build?

    Weldman, that project is looking real good. It's a work-of-art! Guessing that the 2x's on the ground are formwork for a slab you plan to lay down over the gravel; is that the plan?

    What do you build?

    Some day some knucklehead national Third-Class (among all us knucklehead nations with nukes) is going to accidentally push the wrong button, and after launching is going to say "oops": - 100 years later when the smoke clears and all the dust settles around the planet That shed of yours is...

    What do you build?

    Weldman, that is a work of art (apart from the engineering) in its own right!! Got a question, and figuring you thought it through, but the possible uplift wind-load on that thing has go to be considerable: - You got that covered with closing off the ends somehow and all, right?

    What do you build?

    Man, that machine is pure awesome. That was funny in the vid (about buying the pipe threader): "...buy the warranty, because it DOES come from Harbor Freight..." Got a chuckle ot of that.

    What do you build?

    "Harbor Fright" I have heard about, but "Horror Freight" is a real hoot!! :naner::beer::naner:

    What do you build?

    It looks heavy-duty and solid. For what it does (pretty neat and awesome), the cost seems about right, you know?
  18. Another Ahab

    What do you build?

    Wow. That is a very cool machine! And guessing that there are different dies for different diameter tube/pipe? Is the cost under $1K?
  19. Another Ahab

    What do you build?

    Looking real good, Weldman: - How are you bending that radius into those ribs?
  20. Another Ahab

    What do you build?

    That is an excellent piece of work there, Weldman! How did you manage those PERFECT bends (#4 bar?), on the street numbers?!!
