"I could use a nap"

How's this for production?
Yup there's 120 Whistles setting there, go ahead count them.
Late Wednesday the Boss said it would be a few more days until I got the next job for the one of Machining Centers from the Lathe guys.
I jumped at the opportunity, and asked if I could run my Whistles since it was open.
The downside, was I had to redo all my programs since I had written them for the other CNC. That was a late evening.
So, these bodies are all machined.
I still need to make the caps, deburr everything, tie lanyards, and bag & tag.
While they aren't quite ready this is much better than mid November I was planning on.
By the way I believe my Wife thinks I have moved to the shop.

  3. Gary,
    You kidding? She has 1st. dibs;)
    She said she needs one during recess when she substitutes. The school provides em, but she'd like her own germ free one.

    John,
    I figured since I had been talking them up for so long I had better get some going.

    As always I appreciate the comments,
    Kenn

  6. Wes,
    Haha keep looking, no Ti ones yet;)

    dcaston,
    You can shoot me an Email.
    We are a job shop, but it's ultimately up to the boss as to what work we accept.
