On my shop truck I had a box on front with twenty ft cables, ought welding cables with the reall strong clamps you used to be able to get, made it USA. I connected the cables to my shop trucks battery with a starter relay wired it and a switch in the grill. I would open the box, hook up the...

I’ve made many slide hammers fir special jobs. My Dad made one with 1 inch steel rod about four feet long and took the center section from a semi truck rear end. Seems like that pinion gear on that HD14 Allis dozer was really stuck! But it was no match for my Dads slide hammer! Bones

I like my 1/2 inch AirCat. Cost me $100 after my $300 Mac quit, I think it has more power! Bones

Put these file cabinets in my shop and took the shelf apart that was there and put it on top of the cabinets. Outstanding storage. Now I have a “ place” for things and can find things now. I’m going to make better labels and try to polish up the paint on them for better appearance. I bought all...

I picked up these ex government file cabinets for $20 really nice to have a place for stuff! Going to polish them a little to make them look a little better

I use a combination of paper towels and red shop rags. If it’s real greasy, it gets the paper towel and then into the trash. I use the red rags gently. When I get a mess of them dirty, I take them to a laundrymat. I use a lot of regular soap and throw those fabric sofeteners in the dryer. I hold...

Thanks! I will get back out to the shop , in a day or two, ( got some other things pressing on me)and check those out and report back. I think I can handle the drum switch, if I just know what it’s supposed to do. What capacity breaker do I need for the motor? If it’s 3/4 220? Is there achart...

What a coincidence , my first home cat, as an adult, was named “ Sarge” , he was a Tabby and had a lot of stripes! I had him for 13 years. I lived in town then and he was an outside cat. He sometimes would go missing for a a few days, I would look for him, then he would come home all combed/...

He was amazing! Had personality, could get mad, happy, aloof. When I had friends over to have drinks around the fire pit, he would join in ( not the drinks,lol) my friends referred to him as the “ original party animal “. The louder my rambunctious the better he liked it! He had his own heated...

Well I never really measured it, but I would guess 30x30. Will measure it when I get home from church. It could very well be a moisture problem due to humidity, as I like in Oklahoma! I went up in the attic and my ceiling joices are on 2 ft centers, and there was no evidence of any leakage in...
