(my source for glass)

Best decision I've ever made. I don't know how to explain it - it just hits different when it's your kid.

I would like a kid one day. I crave that feeling too. Like no matter what, that kid's life is just the most important thing.

I still have dreams to turn the busted SSR wheel into an end table for the garage. I would love to have a busted inline6 crank, but so far nobody in the SoCal thread here has offered one up... Might need to start annoying shops that might have one laying around...

I have an old 924 flywheel that I plan to use as a base (cant even remember what stupid pipe dream brought that into my possession). Then just have to get a nice ~16-18" round glass as a topper. bada bing bada boom, end table right?

... right? lol

hahaha I was trying to understand how this could possibly be connected to *that* welding table.
Makes much more sense now.

I get the stacked up projects. Seems to get worse every year. House things have been taking what little free time I have this year, finishing the garage hasn't really happened, and the cars sit.

Otherwise I spend a lot of time with my little one, intentionally and because wife works when I don't, and childcare is fucked here.
Most daycares have closed their waitlists due to demand, but we're lucky we can make things work without it fairly easily for now.
Anyway, she turns 1 tomorrow. Best decision I've ever made. I don't know how to explain it - it just hits different when it's your kid.

I've always wanted a pet, but my wife has always veto'd the idea.

Could this have changed now that you're in a single family residence?

Is this for the welding table/wind protection?

Oh, no, the wind protection for my outdoor welding table is now adequate enough to slow down most breezes. What I'm referring to above is an art project, in which I'm building a functional-sculpture that is a table with moving parts. The table aspect is not the most practical, being about counter height, and a round glass surface to top it off. You could put like.. picture frames or a flower pot in it. Whatever the wife wants to justify having a metal monstrosity in the house. She's definitely not going to appreciate the amount of dust it will collect lol

Right now I'm still in the middle of fabricating an exhaust for my car (I'm selling my original one and building a better version for myself). During the summer when it was too hot outside, that's when I was holed up in my room designing the thing you saw. When the exhaust is done, I have another paid project to take on, and then next month begins the holiday season for me with a few birthdays to celebrate, and then actual holidays and a trip to Texas. The art project likely won't get worked on until next year. This assumes my car doesn't keep breaking (last week I had to replace a brake hard line).
