WTF HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH DC?

  Sorry to everyone for taking so long to get back on here to update the posts. So what the f@$k has been going on at the DC man cave? Well lets just get started with the new tool that I picked up over at Home Depot. I picked up a new RIGID heavy duty abrasive chop saw. It was not a bad deal for under $200 and a lifetime warranty. Hahah we will be putting that lifetime warranty to the test!

  So far this thing slays the metal tubing that I have been cutting for DARTH BENDER. Yes I'm beefing up my tube bender and making it more mobile around the shop. The DARTH part of the name has been dubbed the indicator that I have built some thing that is over kill. BEEEEFFFFYYYYY or as my boy Nick Helton likes to say "Built to the Hilt." Anyhow back to the chop saw review. It is very accurate for an abrasive chop saw as long as you are using good discs. A little on the heavy side, but this has been a good quality so far since it keeps the saw from wanting to move around while cutting. The heavy duty base plate is perfect for any additional clamps that you may want to use in order to hold the material in place. I'm not a huge fan of the orange, but I can look past it since it cuts so well.

  Shop accident acquired last week. Not my favorite part of the week by any means. I was using the cut off disc to cut some pieces for the motorcycle parts lamps that I have been building and low and be hold the disc blew up, but it didn't just break it caused the grinder to rip out of my hands. The trigger got stuck causing it to go ape shit all over the place, but first it decided to walk up my hand and across my chest. Damn that did hurt!!!  Blood was spraying from my cut all over the place. I was lucky that I was wearing two shirts one of which was thick flannel. If I had not been wearing those two shirts I would have been bleeding from my chest instead of just getting burned.  Bottom line is you can never be to safe in the shop while using these power tools.

  Kevin stopped in the other week as well. Kevin had a problem with his propane injection Crown Vic. The mixer was originally mounted to the plastic fender well of the car. Over time that mixer just cracked all the plastic causing it to sag really bad in the engine compartment. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!! Propane is very flammable so you don't want the hoses moving around near that hot engine. HEAT+FUEL=FIRE BALL EXPLOSION! So Kevin came to me in hopes that I could help him out and get him safely back on the road. This is the new mount that I fabricated to hold the mixer firmly in place now.

P.S. The site is going to be going under the knife a couple of times throughout this next month or two so please bare with us. Thanks for the support and god bless everyone for the holidays.
