What did you do to your shop today?

Mounted up some new tires on my zero turn. Shouldn't have any traction issues now. My lawn is on a slight grade and if there is any dew, the wheels just spun and tore the grass up. It has a 72" deck and weighs a fair amount.

LOL - not really. We had to open an account to get me a decent sized argon bottle before I can start practicing. My autoweld bottle was on fumes by the time I packed it in.

Get some coupons, we need a second review.

Fyi, AC balance knob is backwards to what makes sense. Start 1/4 turn from CCW stop. That one cost me some tungsten.

I scored an old Sears Craftsman 1 hp drill press from a guy even older than me that was downsizing. I used the Evapo-Rust gel to clean it up and even fixed up an ancient drill press vise I had been saving. Now I can make holes like a pro!

This magic is happening.

They didn't hit any of the heating lines. Huge relief. Glad I spent that money upfront.

So you have room for one more project now?

How high are the ceilings? I haven't done mine yet, because 10'. That, and I'm too dang tall to work comfortably, even under my neighbor's (14' ceiling there).

LMFAO, I hope not anytime soon.

This is as much about storage as it is about repairs.
