    I think theories should be tested. I suppose they'll want a SN to allow you to order the parts though. I suppose if your dealer was inclined they would let you borrow the SN of their collector piece.

    Some of Bodj Built's builds

    Isn't that a big-*** boat for an Alpha 1? I'm with @rattle_snake - I'd think the torque gains of more cubic inches would offset any fuel economy "gains" of the smaller motor BUT I don't know that I'd bolt a V8 onto an Alpha 1 either. Admittedly limited experience between a buddy's 26' cruiser...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT The Suburban Working Garage in VA...now building the Highland House in the Teton Valley

    I'm not sure what head type these "button heads" are that mounts the caliper bracket to the bike but they look like prime candidates to get upgraded to Stainless. Maybe even a Torx head if you're feeling froggy. We've got plenty of trail options in MN as well and I've got a buddy that got into...

    If you're true to your roots it'll be a Stihl. Not sure what our definition of "entry-level" is though :ROFLMAO: My opinion would be to buy a decent battery saw first, unless you're cutting a pickup-load of firewood. I'm curious to see what you recommend though!

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    Oh the world we live in. I was just going to respond "I'm quite certain he just gave you his prompt word for word, all that's missing is the chosen agent/model." Did it dump out a F360 model then? Was the model usable parametrically or doesn't matter- you have parts printed/ing and I'm stuck...

    His review of the Snap On box and tools initially got under my skin a little. Once you understand his perspective it makes complete sense- Matt "dislikes" anything that isn't what he feels is the best in it's category. The reason why Snap-On exists and makes sense for you is the time and effort...

    Being in Florida I'd be at least talking to the team at Obsessed Garage but maybe your personalities/ideas would clash too much but . Matt's been a fan of that style lift and his taste in cars is quite similar to yours. His installs usually involve concrete work and setting them flush with the...

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    Congrats(?) on the growth. Your "side hustle" seems like it may present you with a few more decisions to make than what most people consider a "side hustle" :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Being "normal" or like "most people" ain't the reason we're all here though. I like the PYO wheels on the...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Overcoming Good-Deal-Itis One Project at a Time

    I thought @zmotorsports might suggest some Nitto Terra Grapplers considering the budget.

    I forget if the non-VES engines were known for being as reliable as the Liberty VES. I'll be interested to see what you find. Father in law had an '03 800 that wasn't great (dropped a piston once, then broke a crank the next year), an '04 700 that was rock solid and a '04 600 Classic he still...

    This is to feed the filament production line, correct? Or is there a possibility of pellet feeding the printers? Either way pneumatic conveying is the way to go as long as you go with a solution that has a reasonable noise level.

    Anyone running a 3-8kw CNC laser? My journey into sheet metal fab

    @KwikFab right and that amount doesn't get you much for consumables or any dust/fume extraction. Although if the smaller Ozen compressors are built like our 60HP, they are very good machines- especially for the price. The machine they are selling with it is only 5.5hp - I think a 10hp machine...

    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT Kwik Fab's Small Shop

    First, sorry- I wasn't implying at all that you should have outsourced, only curious about what they would have charged. I work in a shop that has similar equipment to SCS but a far more demanding customer base so it's all the more interesting to me how we/they make a good profit on all of it...

    I'd have to satisfy my curiosity every time and see what SendCutSend or OSHCut would charge. Especially considering your proximity to SCS. I do understand the hobby aspect of course- just would want to know what the "market rate" is vs the "guy in a garage" rate. Great work!!
