I don't mind cutting and hanging it it's the mudding part that sucks. I was about 95% done with mine and called a guy who finished and had it ready for paint in less than 2 hours..hahaI wish I was helping you today. I spent all day hanging drywall on the ceiling. I hate drywall, [emoji24].

Thanks. Perched on the top of a 5' ladder (my 12' is loaned out) balancing a paint tray and working a brush and roller was fun...haha. Fortunately it was only a small portion and I got to get a couple rungs lower. Yeah I bet funding a build like that can add up. With your skills you're saving a lot though.Thanks man. Your fire place is looking good! Those high ceilings don't look fun. We're slow at work and I'm tired of just looking at it. I'm shooting for late spring if my wallet can support lol.

Hopefully you won't have to do again anytime soon. haha.Thanks. Perched on the top of a 5' ladder (my 12' is loaned out) balancing a paint tray and working a brush and roller was fun...haha.

I resurfaced a brake rotor. The high speed steel in was using for the fly cutter didn't like rust and kept losing it's cutting edge. I tried an indexable end mill. The finish looks not great, but I can see myself in it.View attachment 288693View attachment 288694 the 2" was a little too small. I got a 3" for Christmas but I didn't have the right arbor for and put one on order. Should be able to do the whole side in one pass with it.View attachment 288695

Thank you. The mill is defiantly useful, a lathe is next on the list to buy. If you get a mill, get one that you can tram the head.That's fun stuff right there! I've always wanted a mill like that, but I make do with my lathe.
Seems like your making some good progress. Looks good [emoji106]

Almost done boxing in the frame where I had to notch it. I had to fill in a spot and it looks terrible, but oh well. Resurfaced another rotor, not too happy with the surface finish but I think it'll do.
I know no one will ever see it, but something in me still wants it to look good. But there are more important things to work on.It looks fine. It's a frame. If you spray it with some kind of undercoating, you won't even see the welds when it's all said and done. That stuff is thick enough to hide the work and also gets into crevices well to seal also.
The frame looks good. Is it thin? Do you have other gussets or reinforcements you are going to add?View attachment 289040View attachment 289041 driver and passenger side are fully boxed. The axle is ready to back under the jeep, all 2 tons of it, lol

Thank you! The stock frame is two pieces stamped c channel, the outer is 3/16th and the inner is .100". Which is pretty thin. I had some 3/16" 2 x 6 rectangular tubing laying around and cut that up and tig welded it in. Some of the thin stuff was replaced with better material. I want to get my shock hoops figured out, probably end up redoing the front portion of the role cage. Then incorporate the notched frame section into the role cage. And put a 3/16" thick gusset on each side of the engine mounts.The frame looks good. Is it thin? Do you have other gussets or reinforcements you are going to add?
