We got to use the lathe today

The welding shop needed electric brake rotors turned and there's only one guy that can do it around here and he's in the next town. They're not to fast at getting them done and sometimes it takes them a week. I picked an old one up yesterday to see if we could do it and it was easy. Looks like we've got all of that business now lol. :thumb1

Thanks Kurt. :thanks

The welding shop guys are great Bob, they let me walk in and do whatever I want. They even locked up the shop and let me work through lunch last Friday while they were gone so I could get more done. That's the main reason I wanted to do this for them, they do a lot for me. They don't have the long drive any more, only 3 miles straight down the 4 lane, they can wait if they need something quick and I'll drop what I'm doing and get them done, and I gave them a better price. It's like the good old days and they way things should be. :thumb

I hope I don't stay in the shop that late anymore GT, however, last Thurs was 1:15am. :doh
