A hundred or so per head for a special occasion would not be too much. So I guess my fears may be revealing my lack of knowledge of Japanese sushi. Thanks for the input. I suppose I should try a bit harder to find something good locally. Perhaps that will do until we take a trip to Japan (we...

I mentioned my concerns to my wife at some point, and she dismissed it saying the sort of things I dislike are not likely to actually be served in a Japanese sushi place. Keep in mind, my entire experience in the matter comes from American sushi restaurants, aside from watching a documentary...

I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread... while the DIY efforts are very interesting and to be commended, what I find even more intriguing is the social commentary and cultural differences explained within. I haven't yet traveled to Japan, perhaps someday I will.... I would love to order...

Glad I was "on target" with that! :lol_hitti Enjoy!

I'm running behind this year. Been a crazy few days. Santa loaded me up with all kinds of awesome things. Datsun t-shirt (appropriate since I have a 720 4x4 pickup for a project), real nice vintage "The Ideal" pocket knife, vintage Supreme lighter, Mac tools promotional screwdriver from a...

Well... it's outbound. ETA 12/20. But the guy at the brown sleigh depot gave me the wrong receipt, which I did not notice til much later. So I no longer have a tracking number. :( I hope it makes it ok.

It has arrived! Outbound should be on the brown sleigh to an adjacent state tomorrow. Will confirm with ETA once it's on the way.

Nice! Are there multiple flammables cabinets? :-D

I keep meaning to pick up one of these. I have some old HF bandsaw with a broken handle. I suppose that would suit if I can figure out which Swag kit would fit it.

I had a heck of a time finding a meter base / breaker combo for the new 200A service to my new workshop. I swear I must have finally picked up the only one in the metro ATL area. Still can't find plain 20A breakers (QO) locally. 40C (104F) can't be fun.

Yes. I asked for a quote... then was a few weeks past the 30 day validity of the quote when I said "Yes, order me that". Price went up over 20% in that short time. :shocking:

Yeah, I ordered a custom door a while back. Dealer told me 8 weeks. It ended up being about double that. Now they can't get the touch up paint to fix the door that arrived scuffed.

Nice! Seems you can always find a project for a lathe when you have one. :beer:

I like those pallet rack brackets!

:eek: That is a lot of steel!

I'm in again!

It's a slow process for sure. I signed paperwork for mine I think right at a year ago... It got built in March, but between concrete, door, electricity, etc... I'm still working on it. Looking forward to seeing yours come together. Curious, what builder is it?

Disconnect may or may not be required, I'd feel better about having something within arm's reach. That said, come to think of it... I may end up putting this thing right next to the breaker box, so I may be ok without a separate disconnect. As to wire size #6 vs #8... it depends on the type of...

Right, which is where I'm getting conductors sized for 49.7A despite rated current of 70A (at 200A secondary). I found a manual for a later version of the welder... also shows 70A at 50% duty cycle for 200A secondary current as well as 86A at 30% duty cycle for 250A secondary current...

I have an old Lincoln IdealArc 250/250 (probably 1970s vintage) that I'd like to hook up in a new detached garage/workshop at my house. Plenty of anecdotal evidence of these running on normal 50A welder circuits at lower power settings, but I'd like to have this thing hooked up "right" in my new...
