slow at work - Toyota Yaris Forums

frownonfun · 03-13-2009, 10:01 PM

so yeah we were pretty slow last week and i had time to finish a project i started some time back. then the painters happened to be out at our welding shop this week so it got sand blasted and painted as well. think it turned out pretty good. normally when i make a pit i measure everything out and level it and all that but most of this thing was just eyeballed so if a few things look crooked, they probably are lol.

so there's that.

That's pretty cool. What are the two things that stick down at an angle? Makes me want to smoke some ribs this weekend.

i suppose they are just arms... no purpose really... i had intended to put a tray across there to set stuff on but decided against it cuz it was getting late in the day and i didn't want the painters to be staying late just for me.

frown.... looks like you got yourself a business

it's the perfect size for the Yaris. Probably could fit in the spare tire well and would be great for meets. I can see it now, 12 or so Yarisisisisiisisisis lined up cooking dogs and cow, oh, and don't forget that guy on the end cookin up a Boca burger.

this one was for my boss honestly... when we have slow days there at work he's cool with us staying around and getting our full 12 hours just as long as we are doing something... even if it's stuff like this. which is pretty awesome of him so i don't mind that he gets dibs on anything we make. between the two of us there at the shop we have made bbq pits for half the plant. i personally get a little tired of them all looking kinda the same so i like to tinker.

but yeah if anyone is really interested in something like this just gimme a good idea of what you got in mind and i can probably make it. like i said this particular one is spoken for. shipping these would be rather expensive i would think cause this one is just 6" standard wall pipe and it's a heavy bastard. so idk.

and man have i had my share of boca burgers. i can tell you right now they certainly don't grill well. at least i never had one that turned out very good.

at my last job, i made a corvette out of paperclips, index cards, and scotch tape. i was so bored, i took about 40 pictures of it and put them together in a gif image to make it look like it was driving across my desk....

*sigh*
