I know you guys don't have "contractors" just a lic for a few trades like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, paving etc...
My google foo is failing me, can you guys please direct me to where/who I need to contact to get info about these lic. WHen they are needed, costs, financial responsibility, reqs, reciprocal agreements... etc.
All I can find is paid "get your lic schools" trying to sell thier services.
I've already ordered the supplmental code book( which is tiny compared to what I'm use too lol)
Yes, I am planing on remodeling the INlaws bathroom.
I know I could just do it and not worry about that stuff, but thats no how I roll.
-
The Inlaws have friends and neighbors and TAB is getting bored being a house husband ;D
Did you try looking in the State web site for a licensing division ?
-
yeah, all it does is give you a address to send in the check.
it does not give details, there is a phone number you can call, but I was hoping I could find a site that listed all the info so that I can print it out and read it when I have the time/desire.
as far as being a house husband, I've been making chips latly, lots and lots of chips. I've got about 30 lbs so far. been making lots of boat parts. Manuel machining is alot like making fine wood work... its 95% set up and design, 5% actually cutting. lol
that and its been comming down in buckets so I can't do anything. Besides I kind of like the idea of making some money...

+10 on that, the only real difference between the 2 is the composition and peed of the cutters .
I remember when I lived out there, it only rained once a year, from Nov. till March ;D
Try a PM to Rastus, he may be able to help.
-
Thats about right on the rain.
I'm actually amazed at how fast the maching manuels say to spin things. boreing heads spining 1000+ rpms kind of scare me. Not to mention throw lub and chips all over hell.
-
Smaller tools spin even faster, last place I worked we ran our tooling at 8,000 RPM only because the old machines vibrated to much to run at the recommended 12,000
Where I work now we have one job where they are taking a 1/4 inch deep cut in Stainless steel with a 3 inch cutter at over 15,000, without coolant.
The material gets so hot that if coolant were to hit it it would cause surface cracks that would show up when the finished part was x-rayed and it would be scrap. Really nice finish though.
Just grit your teeth, cross your fingers and go for it ;D
-
I just wear a face sheild and my leather apron. Just like I do when I use a router.
remember this
http://www.downrange.tv/forum/index.php?topic=12783.0
It did produce a nasty scar.
-
Yes, I do remember that.
I just use safety glasses and long sleeves, (NOT long enough to get caught )
But I stand back when I do my dry run, I've seen tooling shatter before.
We had one guy go to the hospital for stitches in his face, 2 weeks later a piece of steel the size of a .32 bullet worked it's way out of his cheek.
-
a long haired classmate in high school machine shop class got scalped from getting too close to a milling machine. the same machine sent a bit flying across the room and embedded it in the brickwork. teacher left it there as a reminder of what else could happen.
yes, safety gear, and But I stand back when I do my dry run, I've seen tooling shatter before.
I agree 100%. you never know. I also check tightness of all tools/bits. safety, safety, safety....

Do you ever notice the guys complaining the most about wearing safety gear are the ones with that "funny" eye, 8-1/2 fingers, 1/2 a thumb and limp quite a bit?
;)
I've been hit by lots of stuff but rarely from work that I'm doing.

I've been lucky as most of my experience has been from watching others do things that make me say..'I told you so!' ;D
my one bad injury was caused by my safety gear. glove caught on a burr in a wire sling. drug my thumb into a tight spot and took the tip off. only lost 4 hours of work though!

As a matter of fact, YES ! ;D
I used to work with a guy who's fingers on both hands were all the same length, Part slipped off the back stop on a press brake. :o
-
Never take advice from the guy called "flipper". On the other hand, maybe pay extra attention to his advice. ;D

FQ13
When I knew him he was anal about "minimum die clearance" (the practice of leaving only enough gap between the tooling to slide the part in and out )
I listened, I can also still count to 10 with my shoes on. ;D
-
One of my co- workers was making a facing cut on the lathe last night when the long stringy chip caught his hand, another guy who saw him just after thought he had dumped his bottle of red Dy-Kem.
He left for the hospital at 11pm, was not back yet when I left at 2.
-
Deep cuts on the hands can be very very bad, they almost always require surgery.
THe guy my wife is training under is supose to be one of the best hand guys in the nation. He is a real prick.
-
He worked tonight, Slice on the heel of his hand and another around his pinkie 14 stitches.
He was reaching for his coffee well clear of the part, gob of chips on the back side of the machine caught the jaws, flipped over the top and smacked him. Lathes and presses are f*cking DANGEROUS.

if you do a search, last year there was some pics floating around the net of a guy that got cuaght in lathe, no bs there was just his legs left.
It was not pretty, but it showes how dangerouse these things can be.
-
A local, long-time welder here was killed at his lathe.

You can do everything right and still get killed.
