What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

Most of you guys have seen our cannonball bale beds.

They use what we call a spinner, and we happened to lose one of them, so, had to build one from scratch.
You get the picture.... :D

Here's the general idea.
This bed is newer, and has different style spinners, but the same idea..... :D

And here's 2 videos of them in action, if your still missing it.

Are a couple of hours the same in Alaska as here in West Virginia? :lol: I usually say it took a couple hours and my wife will say more like 6 :?
It's always best to build your own, especially when it comes to hitches!!!

Could be the same as what it's like in far northern Australia. You ask a local what the time is and the pause and say.... Tuesday?

I'll have you know, QI is one of my favorite shows, and I DVR it when I can't watch it.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of my favorite movies.

And, I don't like SPAM!

You have to have watched the movie to appreciate how great that line really is!

Also, when the girls say "we might have to give him one for free"

Croc Dundee 1&2 are some of my very favorite films. 3 was an embarrassment to everything Australian and American. And Paul Hogan (star) has now turned into an arrogant douche.

So it's not just me that has " random movie reference syndrome " ? it is strange how the mind works ! & does anyone actually like SPAM ? regardless of what it's with ? Shame to hear your view on Paul Hogan - based only on the first two films I liked the guy - & yes they should never have made the 3rd - but that's Hollywood making a profit for you - money before everything else - maybe that's why a mate of mine likes the low budget stuff so much.

I'll redirect this into a new post, so we stop detracting from AKs post.
