However, one detail in that paint job. The racing stripe is missing. Not finished until it has one of those.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested

For me the choice is simple. I despise painting, because I suck at it. I have a magical ability to mess up a paint job, even if I'm just observing from across the street. If my focus is good, me thinking about your paint job across the country can spoil it.
So I avoid painting as much as I can. My 9 year old gantry crane might get primer on it - one day, maybe. Til then it has a great oxide patina. It is stored outside.
Is that paint on the floor? Or blood?
No idea. I grabbed the picture from the net.

I reckon that after all the sanding, filling, 3 coats of primer, 2 base coats and 6 painstaking coats of clear over top of 20 hours of pinstriping hell, the poor bugger plugged it in and found it still cut a .010" taper over 20"........ coroner figures he used one of those single sided razor blades he used to trim the tape prior to painting......historicalarms

There are two reasons for paint- to quickly put an aiming point on sheet paper for a target and to cover up bullet strikes on metal gong targets so you can see where the next one hits....well actually three, so I can tell which house is mine in a "late night arrival".
Vevor had a deal I could not refuse. $262, 1550w, variable speed.
Renting one here is 100/day.
I need it to drill the mounting holes for the lathe and then I want to drill a 2x2 pattern into my welding table.Last edited:
You are welcome to borrow it my friend.If you get into a rhythm I know of another table you could keep going on.

I have one of these! I love it!
The thing is pretty stout, probably weighs 35 pounds.
Hey David, what is the model number? Was that a local sale?
@Susquatch @phaxtris Yes it's a total Fein knock-off.
