I have not run even a dozen 7014 rods in my life. To me it was always more of a sheet metal, flat position rod that required highly cleaned material.

I’ve run literally miles of 7018, it works in all positions, and doesn’t require much, if any prep. Probably not as good as 6011 on dirty or rusty metal, but it works just fine. And it is stronger. Runs AC or DC just fine.

Good Afternoon,
Some shop time today, needed to come up with an idea to transfer the exact shape of the pattern to the band sawed spindles. Drilled 4 , .060 holes through the pattern and then tacked it onto the rocker spindle with tiny finish nails with the same diameter. I have a 1/2 by 2” follower bit with the bearing on top to follow the pattern. Seems to be working well.
Years ago while still a model maker at Pitney Bowes I created a router table on the left side of my Delta UniSaw out of aluminum jig plate, works out well for this type of work 😉

good morning all
long night, heavy thunderstorms came through, 1.62 inches on gauge,
power went out at 1am, was raining hard enough sump pump running hard, so even with battery
backup on sump, I needed to start the gen. So out into pouring rain I went and fired up gen.
could not get back to sleep, so drinking cup of coffee now and sure planning on a nap this afternoon.
Hey Drew, what about a remote start?

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.7C... which is what it is now and the sun is just coming up. Predicted to get to 17C on this, the first 'official' day of Winter. It's clear & calm and there was 0.5mm in the gauge.

The horses were returned yesterday evening so I guess it wasn't a weekend excursion.

I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.

Had the regular breakfast crew together again, except my wife and another wife.
weird weather day, sun then clouds, then rain, then sun, then lots of wind... Too windy and muddy to work outside, that's my story and i'm sticking to it.
convinced my wife to go out for Mexican food tonight.

Hey Drew, what about a remote start?
it came with a remote start key but I've never trusted it.
plus I need to pull one end of cover back off the muffler area.
As well as turning on the propane tank first.

nice marinated flank steak dinner at my brother's home, don't expect to be up long considering
last night's lack of sleep.

That was supposed to say miles of 7014, not 7018
