  • Death Valley Life #39: It's a Man's Man's World
    My friend Mike Z from @AstroVanTribe drove all the way out from Hollywood to come stay at the compound and help us with building projects...and while he was here, we went out every single night and had some WILD times! Who knew a small town on the edge of Death Valley could be this much fun?

    Machinist here, thats a center, either "live" or "dead". Live centers have ball bearing heads and spin freely. Dead centers are solid one piece construction. It may be worth some $$$, if it's made by a reputable brand like Hardinge or Royal. Hope this helps. 👍

    ah yes, the Military crest is a term in military science that refers to, "An area on the forward or reverse slope of a hill or ridge just below the topographical crest from which maximum observation and direct fire covering the slope down to the base of the hill or ridge can be obtained. That with a complement of strategically placed Claymore mines you'd be set. 21bravo club...

    This is a perfect example of COMMUNITY, something the World is getting away from,but everyone is longing for because it's natural and how human beings are suppose to exist.

    • @ribbles1699
      @ribbles1699 8 місяців тому +2

      In this case I think it probably has a lot to do with the environment being so harsh. People in the suburbs/city are too busy and too comfortable to appreciate each other. My wife thinks I'm nuts for wanting to buy a desert homestead, but this is one reason why.

    • @MrImaghost
      @MrImaghost 8 місяців тому

      @@ribbles1699 it's designed that way, the more World advances technologically the less human we are and the more apart we are from each other. This is the middle, we have desire to go back and be part of community BUT we live apart in technology, pretty soon it's just gonna shift to just apart & technology and humans won't be human anymore,probably just robots. So get that homestead while you still can and savor the time you have left.

    hut as well as those car parts? Who needs a mine when you can mine for eBay " auto gold" in the shop building. I think

    I am so happy you got Mike to come out and help out. Adding the porch roof for shade was great. But with the winds you get, seeing the bracing finally installed is a relief! Ive been waiting for you come back from a road trip to find that the wind had taken its toll on the roof. And you have taste, i installed the same exact doors on my place and used that vinyl to get privacy too. You're going to find that not only will the sand be less of a problem. But your heating and cooling are good going to be more efficient. Mike's right about the parts and manuals. I paid 75.00 a piece for 1965 Buick Gran Sport manuals. And didn't blink an eye. Without them its really hard to get your restoration perfect. You really are sitting on a gold mine. Always great to see Mike, he's just good people.

    @Wonderhussy @AstroVanTribe at 26:54 its called a live center for a lathe . Depending on the brand and type it can cost between 100 and over a $1000 Since it looks like it's in the box it came in you could look up the model and find out what they go for. The headers also depending on the brand and type it can cost between 200 and 500. That welder looked sweet. I can see it's a Century but I cant tell what type. Tungsten inert gas "TIG" go for the most money usually.
