Hello from a lurker

[farmkid4]

Hey all been a member for a bit now and i would like to say thank you to all of you who have taken the time to post! There are so many great threads and so much useful information thanks for sharing your experience!

Little background grew up on a farm(no of course thats not where my name comes from ) have an AOS in machine tool worked for a short time out of school building recumbent bikes and am now doing fleet maintenance/fabrication for a small lawn/landscape business which has made for a lot of learning and made me very thankful for forums!

Anyway hope to contribute something back and look forward to posting a thread when Im able to buy some property and start my own garage and since nobody likes a thread without pictures here is one of my most recent projects:

Also anybody have thoughts on Aircat impacts?

Welcome to the GJ.

Kevin: sorry i don't have the answer to your impacts question and just want to also say WELCOME to the FORUM and happy to have another grateful member. some times it seems like we are talking to ourselves when we post and then we hear maybe months or years later that guys and gals have been reading our posts and learning or enjoying them.

you don't need to own a garage to start a thread and if you have a good idea for a thread or have questions you can't find the answers for either ask on threads that are talking about that or start a thread if you like cause we probably need one.

truck looks great and are you welding on the new flatbed or do tell what you are doing to it?

cheers

Great pictures and looks like your welding is holding up to the elements and the weight of your company's STUFF.

cheers and hope you find your way around the forum and if you have questions just ask. if you have specific tool or shop questions try to find threads talking about that subject already and ask your questions there and you might have a better chance of getting a good answer.

doesn't look like the cold is slowing you down so keep up the good work.
