    For a tree.....

    Yeah I agree and still sometimes feel much younger than I am. I can attribute that to having 3 great kids that keep me busy outside of work.

     

     

    Thats one of the reasons I shave my head,I have alot of grey hair lol.

     

    My Swiss heritage keeps me looking younger than I am too. Be young at heart my mom always said. Thats the best way.

    Now I feel old sitting in the last couple weeks of 28 lol.

     

    The thing I don't like about FlexVolt is that as a 20vMax back its a 15 cell 6.0 pack. If you get the 9.0 then it's no different than Milwaukee, which is good. The 6.0 is bad value as a 20vMax pack, the size and weight don't make sense compared to a smaller lighter 5.0. 

    Agree to size/weight ratio of the packs. lol 28 isnt that old brother. My wife is 29   she says she is old all the time,wait till you hit 40+ like me I say.

     

     

  3. Welcome to the crew. Im not locked into one platform either. I have Porter Cable,Bosch,Dewalt. Flexvolt I could care less about but it does seem cool. Im a machinist so all my drills and such are diy useage so I dont have the need for the power house stuff. I like the new lights Dewalt and milwaukee have out,honestly wouldnt mind some of those.

     

     Im waiting for them new bosch 12v impacts too become available hopefully soon here in July.

  4. Yeah there is alot of crazy machining tech nowadays. Its honestly advancing so quickly its hard to keep up.

     

    I grew up doing old school manual machining turning handles and I still like manuals. CNC can get boring sometimes especially with large quantities or production runs. Alot of machine shops dont even have manual lathes or mills or any support equipment but to our shop thats our bread and butter. We pride on mixing old school tech with newer tech so its a good mix. Engineers nowadays design some crazy ass nonsense very often and sometimes you have no choice but to use cnc to not only save time but to just stay competitive.

    I wish it was mine.One day ill have one in my garage just gotta get 3 phase electrical setup.  Althou I will be the main person running and programming it.   I work in a small shop now,just me and the boss and one helper. Low stress,and fun work environment. Hard to find that combo in shops around here. For a while I was just doing only programming for a large company,I missed running machines.

  6. Ive been posting some machining stuff on my instagram for those who arent following yet.

     

    Doing some Biomedical stuff for UC Davis and a few other medical companies now.

     

    Just got a brand new Haas VF2 SS CNC mill in the shop last week. Getting stuff situated to get it up and running as we can. The new control is similar but has changed in so many ways from the Haas ive run in past.

    A rep just told me it's a 60v platform with cross compatibility between 20 and 60v

    this,pics and such were leaked on instagram already.

  8. wow that is crazy odd man,how old is your house?   My house was built in 1958,it has a stuuco exterior. In my garage I have probably only about a 48 inch section that is unfinished the rest of it is insulated and dry walled.  Dont think there is any Tyvek or anything on my house but you can see the paper backing from the stuff behind the stuuco. There is also 2x4 pieces alternating between the studs which is normal,odd yours does not. It adds alot of strength. Ill try and post a pic here shortly.

    Sorry did not mean that, they are NOT tied together, was only stating the fact that you seem like an appreciative person.

     

    Roger that mister,I thank you for that response and i reply with my line of thinking,How could i not be?  To even be nominated for such a cool item(or any item) is just amazingly awesome to me.  I always have the crews best intentions in mind  :)

    Sounds like you settled on the Dewalt, but I'll second the recommendation for the Bosch PS21 or PS22. The kind of work you're talking about is what I do every day, not stereos very often but in dash and under dash doing remote start and backup cameras primarily. The Dewalt might give you trouble at the weird angles you'll be working from. I've been using the same PS21 for years and I can't kill it. The clutch is precise, the control is almost surgical, the ergonomics are great. It's really a one of kind tool and ideally suited to what you're talking about doing.
