Mikelly Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 Santa visited me early last night in the form of a brown UPS truck! Santa delivered to me a new tubing bender (Sorry Ups Guy for the many boxes...) and a tubing notcher! Now, welder is in place, power is upgraded, shop is sufficiantly bright, and I have the rest of the fabricating tools I need... well I will be ordering a sheetmetal break by Jan., but I'm not quite ready for it yet! We are in business now boys!

Guest scca Posted December 22, 2000 Share Posted December 22, 2000 nice toys Mike... now if I could get wife to buy me car stuff i'd be i been thinking of a tube notcher let me know how it goes = i was thinking of the one similar or the actual die notcher couldnt decide yet.. although the die notcher is close to $300 and not sure if i'd use it enough.. ------------------ Mike mike@fonebooth.com http://www.fonebooth.com/brakes.html raceparts and brake upgrades.

Mikelly Posted December 24, 2000 Author Share Posted December 24, 2000 Yup, I was in the same boat Mike. Die Notcher would have been prefered, but I was in the same delema. Didn't think I would use it. If I was to get into full tube frame building, or even 10 cage intsalls a year, I'd be able to justify it... But I don't. Since August I burned up my sawzal, Jigsaw, dremel tool, and burned a bearing up in my new Zipsaw... Metal work is tough on tools. My wife to be is just happy I'm not out running around on her like her last husband... She figures that if I have toys at home, and she keeps me happy in all other aspects of our life together, I won't have the need to go elsewhere! What I don't tell her is that she doesn't have to go through all this... I love her, and I ain't going anywhere! Merry Xmas...
