well ya'll i was released to go bacc to work on5-13-08, we'll see if i can still do it,thank ya'll for helping me through this, jimmy

well,i live in a subdivision and out side the town limits. but i try to be courteous, let them sleep in on weekends and not stay up too late.i too burn coal,and some has string of sulphur in it,but no complaints yet. you may have a few small things to pass out as a peace token to them.and as far as the junkie in you,good luck. maybe save a little bit of coal and take a hit off it now and then, just to get ya by, best of luck,hope all works out. jimmy

you did a fine job, keep them coming!

many years ago,when i worked in a shop, i had to fix a drive pully. floated some brass in it and it was not balanced so, i used a lawnmowed blade balancer to find the high side and ended up brazing a penny on the outher side to balance it. iff thick enough you could drill (not all the way through) a series of holes to remove enough metal to bring into balance,sorry for the long post. hope it helps, jimmy

well gents,i have worked with lots of welders and, most will holler watch your eyes before they arch. that is a good thing to remember and use

well i guess rush won't get your anvil there faster,but congrats,poppa i am green with envy. enjoy, jimmy

wel- let's see, the texas hill country is a good ride- watch out for the wild life though, in colorado i drive hiway 24 and some times 50/550 is passes up there-this is about all i know- as all my traveling is on bussness, have fun, keep the rubber side down, jimmy

that's great irn.the good lord is always there god bless, jimmy and mary seale

old saying goes, if you catch a snake in the yard and burn it outhers will stay away-i personaly relieve then of the rest of their days but it may be worth a shot.but i grew up on a ranch in west texas and i am "kinda" used to them being around. be weary though always assume they are poisionus, and mad. stay safe,jimmy

well, i been riding for years, first is a 80 xlh, then a 93 e-glide. e-glide gone now -was hard times back a few years ago. and i think the sporty is out at least for a while because of medical reasons. and like most i learned on a h-h-h-honda when i was 9 or 10. but all's good, knees in the breese,and all that. but one thing...why is everyone imatating the v-twin now days? old biker saying....i'd rather push my harley than ride a rice burner!! but really boys all's good when ya can get out and about, so keep the rubber side down and watch out for the cages!!, have fun jimmy

Congradulations, Ms.June, Converse, San Antonio was my ol stomping ground when i was growing up

our heart and prayers go with you. he will give you strenght.you and your loved ones will be in out thoughts and prayers, jimmy & mary seale

how do you harden.temper a sen? i would like to have one to use.i got a 4 x 36" belt sander/ 6" dics at Lowes for 100$ but i can't get very fine grits for it locale.

only thing i can think of is gun blus or brown- maybe they have more out on the market these days

you will have to x-ray, so good pen. beads ,cleanup and cap.may have to go 3 passes, which id mild. lo-hi tie in and 1 not tied in but used to temper the outher welds-i for one can weld but doubt i can x-ray. you may have to bevel yourself so practice that too. good luck, jimmy

sorry to hear this dr. jim. you are in our prayers and thoughts.may God be with ya;ll

use rod and oxy/accy to weld tire up and then fill said tire with accy gas to inflate and to keep it off the ground- ohh that's healium-sorry but keep wim's sky hook handy

maybe build a plate to weld to the pipe and then bolt or weld to drum?

I yse a belt sander-4 X 36" 100$ from Lowes. and it has a 6" disc that i thought would be worthless, but, I was wrong- all i need now is to find finer grits-but i started out with a 3 x 18 b&d that i put in a vise that worked for awhile- hope this helps

Gentlemen,jimmy is doing better, but he is stillon the sore side as you can imagine. He told me that he was on here for a while, and that did him alot of good, thank you all. He still isn't out of the woods yet but progressing right along. Thank you for the prayers and well wishes,as maintaining hope is one of his big challanges right now.I never knew how much he respected and liked all of you, but you all have done him a world of good, Thank you, Mary.

while coming home last fri. he rolled his truck and broke his neck-was at the hosp. and he was released today.he still has a ways to go.but i know he considers you all friends here.please keep him in your prayers for a speedy, full recovers. thank you Mary e seale

most that don't screw up probobly never lit a fire.as far as heat goes the more carbon content the lower heat you use-so you don't burn away the carbon.spikes are a max. of 30 pts. carbon and not good for more than a letter opener, etc. need atleast 60 pts. or higher to make a decent blade. BUT please don't stop or take this as a put down, you are developing skills and technique. that my friend is a ongoing process.look at the blue prients and it will give you lots of ideas and projects.and keep it up, happy hammering, jimmy

iffin it snows that much here- it's time for me to go south- way south,cool but that is a snow cone machine on crack!!
