Glad you like your stake David, it should serve you well for years to come.

I have a fist full of dollars now too. I sold my '77 Sportster yesterday.
Sorry to see her go :( but I just got to old to enjoy it anymore.

So what to do with a fist full of dollars.... First thing is to get my shop wired for 220 them buy the fancy Mig welder from Miller.

I will take JT up on his advice and learn to make some kick ass bar grills.
Who knows... it just might come in handy for my yard art too.

** whistling theme song from Clint Eastwood westerns**

I want a TIG welder so I can add an alloy of metals to the blend.
I want to sculpt a radius of welded metal across the rods that make up the grill.

I want to blend together, the trim and laten..... I want to create new alloys....

Most of all...I want to be able to melt a bunch of stuff together.....

How about blue glass and bronze?

Just my thoughts on the subject....

I got money to burn.....

I have a lil MM 175 at home for normal day to day use but we have a Synchrowave 250 at work that I really like. I haven't done anything more than stick aluminum together with it yet but I love copper and am looking forward to learning to stick that together some day in the near future... :D

Wow, the teardrop shaped dolly is now on sale at HF, where I am, at $6.99!
:shock:
I don't know how they ever make any kind of profit.

Yes... I jumped on the Band Wagon and ordered two... They won't last long at $15.00 each.
However if enough of us order them... they will increase production and lower cost.

This makes me want to introudice the:

"Intermediate Armouring Tool Kit"

Bigger and Better than before...

I am still working on the larger dish.
Sold 2 of my prototype big dishes to help finance the new mold development.

Pics to follow.

I gave in and bought the other, teardrop shaped one... Just too good of a deal!

And good, you did continue production of those dishes - I still haven't used mine at full capability. I did, however, get that bump out, after long session of hammering... It was a "happy metal pounding" experience, anyway.
