Casualties of war..

Some days it just goes this way...

While working on finishing up the turbo mount...I burned up my 4" angle grinder...dead, finished, gonzo. It was a cheap-o that I have abused for a couple of years so no big loss.

...Next the air compressor started making a strange noise..I went and investigated an it had broke the feed line...it was 5/16 copper and of course neither Lowes nor Home Depot carries it...But my boys at Loop Road Auto Parts came through...they had a steel 5/16 and the compression fittings (although I don't get a warm-fuzzy from 120psi and compression fitings)...I came home repaired the line on the compressor and back to work...


So while finishing up some holes for the rods I had made, the drill jambed and bit the big one...another one on its way to the great power tool graveyard...

This must be a record for me...breaking three power tools in one day.
