    Cast Iron Body Building Weights

    The thing he missed was letting me know where he could find a better price, which he remedied. As I have said to mcostello TWICE, I don't believe he meant any harm. Why you can't see that or don't understand it, I don't know. His humor is acceptable, but mine isn't? I don't get that either...

    Stainless Steel

    For some reason, the site is down today. There are a lot of people who are going to be unhappy, including me. I have bids in on several items (not this one) and I can't see what is happening. It's quite a large auction site and covers government auctions nationwide. I'm guessing something broke.

    Forum Issue

    I just noticed I had a new quote and when I went to it, it was a post from 1/25/2013. Does this have something to do with the Download/Engines issue?

    Cast Iron Body Building Weights

    I didn't see the check mark for providing material sheets, but I didn't get past my shopping cart in the checkout process. Since I wanted to use USPS, I had to go through emails to get the deal worked out and then called them to charge it. If I don't get the sheets, I'll call and see if they...

    Cast Iron Body Building Weights

    I know. You told me in post #24 and I said I believed that you didn't mean it in post #25. For me, it was over after #25. I'm not sure the last posts had anything to do with you, still not sure of the intention. All I want is a place where I can buy cast iron of known quality. From what the...

    Cast Iron Body Building Weights

    I know speedy Metals has information on their site that doesn't show up in their main menu, at least I can't find it. I was doing a search on machineability of A36 steel and a page from speedy Metals came up. When I tried to get there from their main page, I couldn't find a link. Here is the...

    Cast Iron Body Building Weights

    Cogsy, I'm completely baffled by your reply. I DO know how to search on Google. What set me off was mcostello insulting me and then putting an emoji next to it like that makes it OK. I always appreciate help, but why do people feel the need to insult someone in the process? Maybe your...

    Maybe that technology will last until the small fusion reactors show up.

    Stainless Steel

    I think you are correct. I believe it is a UHV vacuum chamber, not a USV vacuum chamber. I never found an item that had so many terms in the description that I didn't understand. As my wife says, "if you don't know what it is or what it does, you don't need it".

    Cast Iron Body Building Weights

    I don't think I missed anything. If you are that good at Google, where can you get a better price, not just an example? I do love the way people think they can say whatever they want and a smiley negates the negative connotation. When I was a kid, a guy hit me with a baseball bat and then said...

    Atlas Robot

    In the grand scheme of things, that's a minor problem. They also make four legged versions. At least one of them is powered by an internal combustion engine. Did anyone else get a funny feeling when the guy abused the robot? I kind of expected the robot to grab the stick and beat the heck out...

    Cast Iron Body Building Weights

    Thanks petertha, that thread was very informative. I guess they make it harder to get stuff to Canada to keep out the riffraff. I've been there several times and the VAT has kept me from spending much money. Every place I've been there was beautiful, but the summers there are shorter than the...

    Cast Iron Body Building Weights

    Do you often feel the need to belittle people? If you are THAT good, why wouldn't you give me the link where you get a better price?:confused: There, the imoji helps. I prefer to buy metals locally when I can. Dura-Bar is a big company. I figured I should be able to pick it up instead of...

    Cast Iron Body Building Weights

    I just did a search and found a supplier in Tampa that carries Dura-Bar. A piece 1-1/2" x 2" x 12" lists for $435.82. This price is similar to others I have found in the past. Two pieces cost more than I paid for my 7x lathe. This puts it WAY out of my ballpark. If I could find it for $6 a...

    Is it possible to set up an apartment shop?

    It can be picked up, but it has sharp edges that stick to any fibers, like clothing or carpet. I have never been able to vacuum it out of carpet. I guess it could depend on the type of carpet, some is denser than others and the quality of the vacuum. It sticks to your shoes, so it gets...

    Is it possible to set up an apartment shop?

    I have a 7x lathe and a small mill in my dining room. I have hardwood floors and that helps, but I vacuum constantly. I worked on the lathe for half an hour this afternoon and I swept and vacuumed three times. It's a constant problem. Aluminum and brass aren't too bad, but steel and especially...
