Plasma: 5 minute job

I'm sure you have a good air compressor, and the plasma torch isn't that expensive any more.

Why 2 holes Bob?

Yes..i used Lennox bits...the first hole went right through but dulled the blade...which caused the 2'nd hole metal to heat up and harden....

two holes???

Is Hoody buyin the last one bawb? :roll:

 

[Hoody]

That was my original plan. When I came back to Ohio, I got in touch with a grant writer. Most if not all states will give single fathers a grant up to 10,000 for a new business start up. I received a letter in November that I was approved for grant for this year, and would receive another letter along with some paper work to fill out. Ohio is broke, and cut a lot of grant money from their budget at the beginning of the year, so I received another letter explaining this, and a paper to apply for one for 2012.

 

[bob vawter]

He was so pissed when a few years later GM changed their mind and started building them again.

Sorry Carl Howard!
