which mine?

Cantung, on the NWT/Yukon border

I am looking for a nice set of house numbers today (we just painted the house)..

You could do some custom aluminum numbers. I found a few sites that will do them (they are in the US)... could be about $100 for a standard size (5-6") of numbers.. not sure what the materials cost..

You can start by doing mine.. ;) (j/k)

I acctually thought of that a few years ago. I made up some Family Name Plaques for friends. I first Powdercoated the aluminun, then milled away around the letters, then put a clearcoat powder all over it. I'll see if I can find some pic's.

I'd for sure make you a custom number plate if you want.

I was looking for a nice battery tray for my second Yellow Top Optima, and wow, they're kinda pricey for a nice aluminum one....

Looks like they could be fun to make though!:biggrin:

$60-$150 for a Billet Alum Hold down is reallly GOOD pricing.

What did you do in 100 Mile before getting laid off?, lived their until the early 80's and moved out. Still a nice place to visit.

Bryan, Ive lived there pretty much all my life. Im an Electrician by trade. I used to do Sawmill construction all over BC/Alta, but then was into mainteneance. Was working at West Fraser Lumber in 100 Mile, till we had a difference of opinion. That was last year. Been at the Mine here in NWT ever since. 3 weeks on 3 weeks off, Pretty good gig

what about cutting short wrenches for tightning bulk heads in tight to reach spots, could put 3/8 square drive holes in them/ different angles ??

They allready make those, they are called Crow's Feet. Wouldn't be cost effective to cut up a wrench. And I have no way of forging to make my own.
