…The levies #Trump announced on Wed are separate from the ones he has already imposed on #steel, #aluminum, & foreign-made #cars & parts. Taken as a whole, his tariffs represent a dramatic expansion from the more narrowly targeted duties he imposed in his first term—some of which the Biden Admin retained—& a final nail in the coffin for the open #trading environment that reigned before 2016.

stuff like this:

"Another producer took direct aim at the 25% #tariffs applied to #steel by the White House on 12 March, saying the costs of steel products such as casing and tubing increased by a quarter overnight, even for inventory already in the US."

well then. #drillbabydrill.

In the backyard of the “Amsterdam Museum” (formerly known as “Hermitage”) you can find some ‘metal beasts’, made by artist “Junk-Art”. 🐀 ⚙️⛓️

The sculptures are handmade, sustainable, and the material they use is steel. It’s including sources such as bolts, gears, all sorts of motor parts, horseshoes and metal scraps. ♻️

Found some pictures of the fixed thumb for this machine from another seller. The importer we bought it from doesn't bother with the fixed thumb and only has a €300 hydraulic thumb, which isn't in stock until autumn anyways.

Doesn't look complicated, need to dig through my steel treasure pile and see if I can find enough heavy plate to make one.

Our machine already has the mountings on the boom, although only one hole instead of three.

Close-up of a small excavator bucket with opposing thumb that is made from two curved steel plates joined by bolts and mounted low on the boom. A pipe acts as support and is braced against an attachment further up the boom. It's in the center hole of three, enabling some adjusting of the thumb angle.
Same thing, opposite side. There are pins secured against rotating, which is probably for the hydraulic version as in this setup they do not actually move. Here all three eyes for the support are visible.

#Legault, why are you kissing Musk's ass??

«The #Quebec gov has decided to award new contract to install #ElonMusk’s #Starlink high-speed satellite #internet in courthouses in remote regions of the province. The deal comes after U.S. President Donald #Trump launched a #TariffWar with #Canada in early February, then paused it and finally instituted tariffs on #Canadian products, starting with #energy exports and #steel and #aluminum products in early March»
