Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

You do inspire. And I do make a lot of of my own hardware for different projects. But your skill far exceeds mine. Evidently you're just #### good or you owned a machine shop

 

I don’t have a machine shop, but I do have some odd and end tools, and I have “friends in low places”.

 

I think new shift tower boots are justified.

 

OK I've been challenged now just by what you do, so I'm gonna step my game up.

 

What I mean by friends in low places is, a friend with a lathe, another guy I know with a plasma table and press brake.
Most times I can give them a heads up, and go do what I need to do, or send them a CAD (cardboard aided design) and they can cut it out.
I have a surface grinder with a spin fixture, grinder with cutting wheels, flap discs, etc, mag drill, welder, and recently got a Bridgeport, but don’t have it hooked up yet.

 

Some electrical tape wrapped around would have patched it.

 

I found an old shop rag stuffed down in there.
Those holes explain why it’d nearly melt my toenails off, especially after a long pull.

 

Nothin causes more trouble than a blowed out rubber.

 

Oh lord, I have a high school memory of exactly that scenario. Not sure which one of us gasped more!

 

You just couldn’t figure out why it started to feel so much better.
