Following, as I hate the detents on the drawers - everything inside slides around when opening the drawers (detents are stiff!).

Nadogail, I think you misread the 34' as 34". At any rate here is the calculation for converting cubic feet (CF) into cubic yards (CY) 60' long x 34' wide x 2' deep = 4080 CF. There are 27 CF in 1 CY. 4080 divided by 27 = 151 CY The average dirt dumpster is 10 CY. In So Cal, we were paying...

Dr Clyde is on the right track. As a former landscape contractor, I always tried to use the soil on site - think "creative mounding". When we did have to export the soil, we rarely used containers (too much money). There are truck brokers that have lines on free dump sites (for clean fill...

Bought this Mac Tools MB 9100/9200 for $300 on FB Marketplace. The box is in great condition except for the paint (and lid "braces" that were broken). When I attempted to clean it with diluted Simple Green, the paint started to come off down to bare metal (repainted at some point?). I now plan...

Oxy Acetylene set up in Raleigh Seems like a great price! Gotta love the "instructions"! https://raleigh.craigslist.org/tls/d/willow-spring-oxy-torch-setup-with-cart/7071683278.html

My experience has been to spray white vinegar on the efflorescence - cleans it right up (cheapest method). The efflorescence should stop in the near future. The only time I've seen the issue continue has been when the brick is on a block retaining wall that doesn't have any waterproofing. Water...

Using the 15V lug on the transformer is one way to overcome the voltage loss in the wires. I would suggest checking the voltage at the first light (light closest to the transformer). Voltages that are considerably higher than 12V will decrease the life of the 12V bulb.

I'm finishing up my build of this miter saw stand that was featured in Fine Woodworking #209. Easy build and quite versatile. I would think you could use this with your cut off saw as well. Here is a link to the issue of Fine Woodworking #209 https://bit.ly/2LXvjf9...

Understood - thanks!

I'm sorry - I should have been more accurate in my reply back to you Zebu Fellenze: I do not see the two-piece die set listed on the McMaster Carr website. I suppose I could buy a die such as you suggest, but then I will have to buy a die handle to accommodate this die. Maybe I am...

Cannot find the two-piece die set for the Greenfield Little Giant Screw Plate:https://www.drillamerica.com/product-categories/cutting-tools/dies-cutting-tools/two-piece-little-giant-dies-cutting-tool/products/34-10-set-little-giant-die-lh/

I am needing to thread several 3/4" steel rods with both right and left-hand threads. I purchased a vintage Greenfield Little Giant Screw Plate Die set that has the 3/4-10NC right-hand thread. Thought I could find a set of the LH thread dies - no luck. The only place I found that even listed...
