I know, safes cost tens of thousands of dollars, so why waste the money?

Actually..big safes cost many thousands of dollars. How much for one
that will hold 77 rifles and handguns?

Got steel plate and a welder, son? wink, wink, nudge, nudge

You seem to be forgetting I dont live in a residence with a concrete
slab as a foundation. Its a manufactured home..which is pretty damned
close to a mobile home. Now...I could build a subfloor..or pour one
rather....want to come down and crawl under my place, build a form and

Oh, we'd just rip off the flooring so we could get to it, then
re-floor that room. OK, sho'nuff. My rate is $4k/day, including
subs. Take 3 days. Prepay, pleaseandthankyou.

I just finished painting my house and am recovering, maybe for a week.
sigh

Im getting ready to assist on a major repair of a 15000 TON press down
in LA. They managed to break the 39" x 52' long, solid steel,
machined/turned support posts. Snapped 3 of them right off. So Ill
be working 24' up in the air on scaffolding for about 2 weeks,
starting Wed. They are building the scaffolding as I type this, and
removing the plates over the 3 story deep subfloor. It will be the
biggest press Ive ever helped repair. If I can take photos..Ill post
em. Should be interesting. And profitable...and there are 3 more
presses after this one. (Please Crom...money..lots of money!)

How did they break so much at once? Did someone put something too
heavy to handle off to one side and keep the button pushed until it
all snapped?

When you are forging a piece of steel the size of a UPS truck...when
the balance goes out after something busts...at 5000,000 psi (5000
tons)...**** tends to unload..and load up other parts of the
press..increasing the pressures way past their own safety ranges and
BANG!!

They broke the nut and threaded end completely off one end of one
rod..the press no longer was in balance..and it simply busted the
remaining two nuts..and the 4th nut...it busted off at the BOTTOM of
the shaft..not the top. It was BANG! BANGBANGBOOM! by accounts..that
fast too. Having a 5' nut some 30' above the operators head come
loose..tends to make assholes pucker up pretty tight. That nut..has a
buttress thread and a hole in the middle of it thats 39" in diameter.

Yes, pics please! G'luck on the money, too.


It looks somewhat similar to this one

Egad, who's the disco bitch that wrote the "music" for that?
