Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Tacoma hid the snow on its own thankfully. Lol Coming over the coquihalla and up to Kamloops there was lots! Supposed to get another 20cm of snow on the south coast tonight/tomorrow which is pretty rare! Starting to feel like when i lived in Edmonton but just a bit warmer here.

 

You can keep it, I'll let ya!
I'm loading for Cali after I drop this 854...sunshine, beaches, and bikinis! #### the snow!

 

You taking Mr.Rice with you? Those bikinis may do him in though.

 

No pilot required, just an 11'W R/T crane. Although I may have to meet you two for supper and drinks at the steak house/bar at the north end of town

 

Finally remembered to check on current T1 prices... If you folks are happy with the $1,000 to $1,400 price for a 1/2 x 4 x 8 sheet, let me know! I'll get you all you need! Just shy of $400 a sheet. I buy steel good, but not THAT good! Unless your prices were from the '04 to '08 years, where steel quotes were only good for 6 hours, I'm thinking you should tell your steel suppliers to get back to reality! 130ksi and 140ksi are a little bit more, but not really that much more...

 

If you're coming into the SF Bay this weekend prepare to get wet. Storm coming in from Hawaii that's just gonna dump on us for 3 or 4 days. Don't think it's supposed to go into southern CA though.

 

Finally got the info, destination is Inglewood, CA

 

I think it'll be a lot dryer there than in the north. Hope your coming in from the south also.

 

Hey @CharlieK , i built me a welding table out of a 3x3 by 1" think piece of wear plate from a rock crusher a buddy gave me.

I was thinking bout building me a couple more heavy duty benches in the shop, maybe 1 i could roll around and put a big vise on. Wonder what a piece of 3/4" or even 1" 4x8 sheet would cost? Any ideas?

 

I'll be at my desk later today, or Sunday morning, so I can get back to you then.

But, in the meantime... the grade of steel doesn't matter, right? You mentioned bolting a vice to it, so it sounds like it's just a heavy table that can take abuse? Just to make sure your not planning on critical measuring off of it. 1018 ain't perfect either, but it's a lot more consistent. But... unless I'm mistaken, you only need the heavy "beef". So the cheapest, A36 will be fine, right?
