Damn skippy...

Only way to roll. Gotta spend all the monies for something to be reliable...

Biggest things about this one is it comes setup for air/hydraulic or electric/hydraulic, does 180? bends, and includes the first set of dies.

Getting a JD2 or Pro-Tools to the same set of options is more expensive.

Well, I was wondering if you can generally get pieces to do stairs in any type of flooring that is sold? I assume I'll have to contact the manufacturer of the stuff I've been installing to see if they make the stair nose stuff. Otherwise I'm not sure how I'm going to do the stairs.

Tile is something I haven't really ever done before.

Depends on type/line of flooring you are using.

Most of the popular/big name brands have options for stairs, either stair nose or some sort of trim. Always had good luck with prefinished natural wood(sometimes nonstock but available) stair nosing, transition and trim options. Not sure on some of the laminates/composites.

If no product is available from manufacturer then you make your own. I have had the best luck with making my own wood nosing/trim and using a complimentary/contrasting color to avoid issues with color matching.

Tile depends on product.

Joe_K
02-11-2019, 02:16
Went through the ringer with some laminate flooring a while back. Ordered what I thought would be enough stair nose well in advance of a project, after starting realized I needed more. Company had changed colors, designs and dimensions on me and had no old stock. Ended up having to custom diy make some stair nose and stain to match.

I didn't buy the flooring or do the plans. This is the cheapest laminate at Home Depot, so I'm skeptical that stair nose will be available. I doubt that making my own is going to be an option though. Uh oh.

15 years ago when I redid all the doors and millwork, I put on some faux oak stair end caps and did carpet up the center and regret that. The upstairs hall is laminate and the downstairs oak has been replaced so now looking at full oak treads to redo the stairs.

We have full oak treads to match the 3/4" Oak hardwood upstairs. Don't have anything on them to add grip, and thus far have only had a single instance of ass over tea kettle. (Unfortunately, it was my wife, and she had one hell of a bruise and such).

When I have some time, I'm going to refinish them, and I saw an idea that includes some light sand being added to add traction that doesn't really show up. I haven't tested it yet, but will before I do the stairs.

Tell that the LED light strips I have that get so hot it heats the backing glue to liquid and the light falls off.

OtterbatHellcat
02-11-2019, 20:24
The strips used in the compartments of the cars we work on never get hot at all. Or the ones in one of my safes.

I'm certainly no LED lighting expert, but I know there are different styles and manufacturers for sure. I know that warm light LEDs get hotter than shit, the ones I put in my last house did. These lights are white, and the same manufacturer also makes patient lights and flood lights that are on for extended periods of time...and do not get hot.

So, that's why I edited and said I'd check to make sure... :)

After some internet research, I probably CAN do the stairs in the rental, but it would cost about the same amount as the flooring for the rest of the entire house! Between that and the tenant having supposed balance issues and having already, supposedly, fallen down the stairs once already (last owner didn't even have a hand rail), and mentioned how slick the new floor is, it really sounds like carpet is the way to go. I'm not sure how weird it will be to carpet JUST the stairs, but I don't really care. Thanks for all the help.

Aaron Brucker is a great guy. He's the one with the tailgating rig.

He can build anything you want.

He moved from the location in Longmont, and I haven't had the time to go by his new place, but it's more down south.

Alternatively, I'll have my tubing bender up and running in a couple weeks (got an email saying it would ship later this week), and I'd be more than happy to help you build it.

Will be able to bend .75" - 2" whatever the heck you want. Tube. Not pipe. (Just a clarification)...

I'll be honest, I am teaching myself aluminum tig, and I'm not an expert yet. In a couple weeks, once the bender is up and running, maybe.

Hey, welding steel is an art, welding aluminum is a skill beyond welding steel.

I envy that you're taking that stuff on and learning to do it. I wish I knew how to weld aluminum, or steel with tig. Some of the stuff I've had to have done or wanted to do, involved tig skills if you want it done as strong as it should be. Rock it, brother....more power to ya for sure.

I just want a project done, and fabricators that I've visited with personally, listen to what I'm asking for, tell me they can do it...…..and then don't call me back. WTF?
I think if I don't want 500 or 1000 of them, they just don't care. I'm just a dude that wants one little project here and there to finish my truck the way I want it.

Brutal really helped me with someone he knows that might be able to make my nerf bars, I gave them a test piece of the tubing I have, and I'm hopeful that they can do what I'm looking for. Thank you again, Brutal... this is the closest I've been to actually maybe getting them built... :)

What kind of radius' are you looking for in the bends?

Depending on that, I may or may not already have the right CLR die, but I can usually figure out a reason to buy more tools...

It's just money, right? [dig]

Whatever the closest to 90 that you can get. Less is okay if the light tabs can still be welded at the same height, or close to the same height as the center two. I think the overall length was near 38 inches...and tab height needs to be at 3 or so inches from the mounting point I believe. I do have the drawing I made if you'd like to see it.

I had a tent stake (ok, a spinal needle) shoved into my hip joint today. Second time in two weeks (first for an MRI with contrast in the joint, today to squirt some steroid in there). It wasn’t fun when it happened, but certainly not terrible. Now it’s a little uncomfortable. Not really worth whining about, I just have nothing welding-related to contribute.

Hey, welding steel is an art, welding aluminum is a skill beyond welding steel.

I envy that you're taking that stuff on and learning to do it. I wish I knew how to weld aluminum, or steel with tig. Some of the stuff I've had to have done or wanted to do, involved tig skills if you want it done as strong as it should be. Rock it, brother....more power to ya for sure.

I just want a project done, and fabricators that I've visited with personally, listen to what I'm asking for, tell me they can do it...?..and then don't call me back. WTF?
I think if I don't want 500 or 1000 of them, they just don't care. I'm just a dude that wants one little project here and there to finish my truck the way I want it.

Brutal really helped me with someone he knows that might be able to make my nerf bars, I gave them a test piece of the tubing I have, and I'm hopeful that they can do what I'm looking for. Thank you again, Brutal... this is the closest I've been to actually maybe getting them built... :)

I just have too many hobbies and projects...

Some of them require learning new fabrication skills/capabilities...

The bender and aluminum tig are coming about because I learned that the shifter kart I bought has some inherent value due to who made it. Hence, I don't want to chop it up for my electric shifter kart project. So, I'm going to build a scaled copy of it. Scaled up a little, because I'm not shifter kart sized. Haven't been since I was ~12. I know part of the chassis is going to be AL, so I want to know how to do it right.

If this goes as well as I hope it will, I have this idea of building a "cross kart" of my own design and having fun with it. I have a "spare" zx-14 motor that is begging to be turbo'd and built into a over-grown go-kart with full independent suspension... Why? Because why the heck not???

It's amazing my wife hasn't left me yet...

You know, if we didn't spend over 3 hours of the work day rehashing what we discussed the day before. I'm sure, and others while not saying publicly they agree. Productivity would not only increase, but exceed the monthly schedule.

As said above, filter housing. We use these on all of our CNC mills to filter coolant. The white portion in the photo is a filter sock, which fits into the silver filter basket, which rests in the housing. the basket contains the filter so it does not get force into the outlet and impede flow.

Good thing too because I have a bunch of DPS employees picketing across the street with horns & tambourines...

School employees and tambourines?

I call those people hippies.

I'm all for their right to a peaceful assembly, however disturbing the peace is something else.

Making my shit list is not recommended & if I know your name, where you work, what you drive ...

I will protest your protest @ 3 am on your lawn.

Try me.

To the range I go. Cheers!

And make sure the protesters see what you are loading into the truck, then catch their eye and finger bang them as you drive off.


Finger bang :

1) when you shape your finger like a gun and go bang

To these folks that's probably considered intent Bob.

They'll arrest the Mimes for thought crimes.

Not if you wink an eye at the same time. For our (my) generation it was & is a common friendly gesture. And is filmed in innumerable movies and sitcoms.

Interesting how each state addresses CCW and guns in general. Down here it's not brandishing, it's considered fair warning you're armed.

Just how does a innocent, friendly gesture popular since the early 50s and used by most of the population in the 60s and 70s and ingrained into personalities of people that grew up in that era now means felony menacing charge when used ?

Honestly, No f*cking idea. I don't understand it.

Similarly, everyday banter is now suspect. I like being called Doll & Chick. Apparently you boys can lose your job for that now.

It's bite one boy, or bite some boys. Your use of one or some is dependent on the singular or plural usage of boy/s.

William. Seems youve missed a few of my jokes that aren't jokes for example:

Why do men have penises?

So they have at least one way to shut someone up.
