Thanks AP! I must say that your solution to this very issue was quite good and you detailed it well! So anyways, tomorrow I'm going to grab some bolts and test out my fabrication skills - I'm going to chuck up a standard grade 2 bolt in a drill and try to duplicate the 30 degree angle you...

@bl00, I did check the trap... I'm not absolutely sure they went down, they might have been left in the trash bag that had the left over oven cleaner in it and thrown away. I'm really anxious to start using this vise! Anyways, outlaw, ajchien, & mike: your comments have me thinking in the...

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but try as I might I've been unable to find these jaw screws!!! It seems that most of the heads are too large... Does anyone know where I might find replacements? Thanks in advance.

Yeah so I called my electricity provider and they're picking it up and giving me a $40 rebate. So not too bad. I'm going to take out the shelves and brackets first though for use in my shop :thumbup:

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure I trust myself working with that stuff though... I've got two kids 1 and 2 yrs old and from what I understand while the refrigerant isn't going to kill you it definitely isn't desirable to breathe in. The fact that it's heavier than air means it would...

No screwdriver, only hair dryer for defrosting! I tried to convince the wife to check cl, but she wasn't going for it

Yet more proof that the frost pattern is indicative of a refrigerant leak or bad compressor: http://boards.diynetwork.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8091013504/m/8683935557?r=5033985557#5033985557 http://www.flickr.com/photos/asiangold/7890714170/ http://www.appliance411.com/faq/defrostproblem.shtml...

Yet another incredible find at fixitnow.com... How to troubleshoot warm refrigerator problems by reading the evaporator frost pattern Based on that my fridge has the sure sign of a refrigerant leak. Jagman, thanks a ton for the advice! I've always lived in apartments and this refrigerator...

http://fixitnow.com/wp/2011/06/28/misdiagnosing-a-cooling-problem-in-a-ge-refrigerator-a-hack-job-case-study/ Pretty cool website, the appliance samurai is indeed a "geyser of wisdom". Reading the above mis-diagnosis of another refrigerator it seems as though I can safely say that a...

Well now the freezer temp is up to 50F...

This is garage related - I promise. Lots of us have refrigerators there! This one happens to be in my house - though may end up in the garage soon! So I have a refrigerator (with a top mount freezer) that's not cooling right. Specifically, the freezer isn't cooling right therefore the...

Nice garage! And nice car! I've always loved the NSX... Anyways, sounds like your options for the stripe are expensive and require quite a bit of work. I can't tell how bad the bubbling is though. Putting in a 6" stripe of black would look cool, but maybe get a little busy with all the...

Well tonight I didn't have time to stop by Fastenal, but I'll post the answer to this question soon if they're able to find suitable screws for me.

That's a good tip! Honestly I'm usually pretty good with taking things apart, I'll often use a tackle box with adjustable separators to ensure that things get organized right for reassembly. In this case I was rinsing off paint/rust cleaner and I think I left the bolts in the utility sink...

Anyone? I suppose I could take the vise base with me and see if they can find me the appropriate screw...
