i went a bit harder on the bench grinder on this but once i took it of it went rite into the water, ya its pure silver but it didnt really have any of that bad colour cuase of less dunking into water.

maybe now people will take my fork prong wrench a little more serious. :lol:

the shaft is supose to be big a 6 pin lock wont allow it to go up that far so i made a big shaft to support the pick and make it strong!

Jason be careful dressing your wheel, its got to be done carefully and in a certain way and only if you get big groves in it then you should reset your tool post afterwards.

The dresser should be moved quite quickly from side to side and actual take material off the wheel, the surface is supposed to be rough so doing it gently and slowly makes the wheel glaze over again and too smooth.

Only dress a wheel if you really have to there is potential to breack the wheel if not done correctally.

Another thing, if you get water on your wheel you should leave it running a short time to make sure it all flicks off as water settleing on a wheel will make it out of balence and again can break it if you start it up,

Just to put things in perspective, a bench grinder wheel that shatters can remove your head if its big enough, in your grinder case it can put a grove straight through your skull, ive seen a surface grinder wheel go through a brick wall so be warned.

That is also why i say NEVER grind on the side of a wheel as only a side reliefed wheel can be ground on the side, if not the wheel can shatter just by grinding on the side of it.

Trust shrub. You don't want a chunk of wheel in your head right?

Another set of dangerous machines are milling machines/drill presses.

Go too hard, fast,set something wrong, using milling machine with out your work in the table, drilling without vice or anti-slide device.

This should all equate to death, loss of limb etc...

skold. What happened? I think you've gotten all old and, like, RESPONSIBLE in your old age.

Everyone, pay attention to what these guys are saying. It's been three years since I lost a friend of mine, he was at work and something went wrong with the lathe he was working on. He was dead on the spot.

Seriously, doing something fast is not the way to got when you are working with machinery like grinders, mills, cars, etc. You can lose the rest of your life by trying to save a minute of work.

If 18 is concidered old, to tell you the truth i cant be stuffed not being responsible anymore.

Hey, isn't that the legal drinking age in Australia? If so, congrats.

by **skold** » 19 Jun 2006 5:58

If you are in private premisis you can drink at any age you see fit.

But yes, 18 is the legal age to be able to buy drinks, cigarettes, spraypaint etc.

That's really funny, because Louisiana has something like that, too, and you won't find it in any other state (we have a lot weird laws, which is due to the fact that ours are based on Napoleonic Code, while the other 49 states and federal law are based Roman law). In Louisiana, the drinking age is 21 like any other state, except if you're on private property, are between the ages of 17 and 21 but not yet 21 (IOW you're 17, 18, 19, or 20), the alcohol was purchased by someone who was at least 21, and, most importantly, you have the permission of the property owner to consume alcohol on his/her property. IOW, if you're on my property, you're 17, and I offer you some booze, it's perfectly legal for you to drink it, since I bought it (I'm over 21) and you obviously have my permission. Weird, huh?

There's also another oddball one: if you're in a restaurant with your family, and you're not 21 (not sure if you have to be 17 or not, I don't think so), and they wish for you to be able to drink with them (the idea is that you can share a bottle of wine together with dinner, not knock down shots together

), then it is legal for you to drink and it is legal for the restaurant to serve you alcohol, providing you have the permission of your legal guardians, who are present, to do so.
