    Fiberglassing Pod

    The last pods i built like this, I used really old shirts that where thin. I left the shirt whole and placed the pod inside the shirt and pulled all the fabric tight from the back. I used wire to "hog pin" the shirt snug until after the first resin dried. I didn't want anything built up on the back of the pod for fit reasons. I hope this makes sence, its early for me.lol. Wish I had a pic of the back at this phase, to show how I used the wire to hold the fabric in place temporarly until after the resin dried. Hope this helps and good luck the second time around. It will get easier.

    The gas drilling company's here bought or leased about every inch of land that was available, for equipment and pipe storage.

    2 batterys. 1 main 1 for my system.

    You will want to find out what group# your car battery is and thats what will fit. The XS battery (or simillar) claims to be capable of storing and releasing more amprage than a convential battery. As far as the second battery, you will want one thats sealed AGM style battery if you plan on mounting it in the pass compartment or trunk bc a conventional battery releases toxic gas.

    GOOOOOOOOD luck. Home ownership FTMFW even when your basement floods your drain clogs and causes many nightmares that you must worry about yourself. Definetly no worse than mantaining my "stepping stone house" aka the trailer I own now. My anxiety is thru the roof at the minute. I should know within 48 hrs.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I have two time Machine's and one Mickey Sharpz that I use. The Time Machine's are aluminum so the are 2 oz's lighter than most, but tranfer more vibration. The Mickey's is a old school Iron T-dial and is a design that hasen't changed in 50 years, but is heavy. All are set up to do their approprite tasks which is where comfort come's in as it make's the work effortless and does what it is told. Cool fact, the first machine build that resembles a modern tatt machine was build by Thomas Edison in the late 1800's. The machine he build was for engraving and was designed from a double coil doorbell motor.

    The real fucked up thing is a 2010 700, 550, and 350 Grizzly all have wet weights within 40lbs of each other. The gas tank on the 350 is almost 2 gallons less so the differnce in weight is closer to 25 lbs between the 350 and 700. In defence of the Grizzly, it does ride like a Caddy and has all the bells. Which is the reason I picked it compared to the other offerings in the market at the time. The big rage around here are the Can-Ams.

    After a few simple tests I determined that the solenoid is what was wrong with the Yamaha. Definetly cheaper than a starter motor. No riding today as it was snowing and but fucking cold.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    yep, but it's cheaper to just pick up a 6.0L Definetly cheaper. You can get a salvage motor pretty cheap now a days. I have been drooling on one for a while now.

    We talked it over and the boy is going to continue to use his and if he wants to further his playing we are going to look at the Ibanze and Gibson. Thanks for your help and info Sean. Good plan. Not worth putting anything into what he has now Don't shy away from those Jacksons either. There is a reason that Randy Rhoads went from a Les Paul to them Another old favorite of mine would be if you could find an old BC Rich from when they were still handmade here. (pre-1981 or so maybe significantly later, but their "new" stuff is complete crap). Personally I'd run from Fenders but that is because they have the slowest, sloppiest necks on a guitar IMO. For what he wants to play it isn't what he wants. One other note. A wood grain neck >>>> painted neck if you have ANY propensity to sweat. I get SLOPPY on stage, lol. I agree with all of this. In my 18 years of tattooing NOTHING has improved my skill more than the RIGHT machine. NOTHING. I could ramble all night how tatt machines are like speakers OR anything else, but you get the point.

    I would base my decision on how much you will use it. I still have the one I bought 15 years ago, but only used it once or twice a year most of the years.

    Fucking scalpers want like 6-700 bucks a ticket for the Posion-Motley Crue show at Red Rocks. Anni would love to see Posion, she has liked them since she was 4. I think it would be better than the Bruno Mars.

    That is all he listens too. ALOT of classic rock is in my rotation now, but at his age its all I listened to also. You should see his t shirt collection. I am sure I would love to see them. I am still kicking myself for not buying a Rest in Peace shirt at Megadeth show last year.
