Question for the members in oklahoma.

[TAB]

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  

Did you try looking in the State web site for a licensing division ?

[TAB]

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  

Try a PM to Rastus, he may be able to help.

[TAB]

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

I just wear a face sheild and my leather apron.  Just like I do when I use a router. 

remember this

It did produce a nasty scar.

[tombogan03884]

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.
