Thanks everyone. I likely wont get this moved from its current home for a few weeks. I'll start with the water and Scotch Bright and work my way along from there. I'd really like to keep the face-plate intact as much as possible. As for the motor and pump for that matter, I'm not attached to...

I've inherited an old Quincy compressor, that needs to be gone through before using. At some point it was painted poorly and the compressor and motor placards have paint on them. What's the best way to remove that layer of green paint without damaging any painted info below? Some pics attached...

I was able to locate a TV repair shop a few towns over that fixed it for $35. Unfortunately, I don't know what they actually replaced or the cause of it and the owner has since retired.

The only way to do it!

Can you link the thread you are referring to? Interested in learning a bit before making a decision and several NOCO/JNC threads we're returned when searching.

I'm going to piggy back on the increased length, however, add 2 points of input. First, I feel you need a larger spreading of the load. Second, this should be accomplished using a structural screw like this...

Are you saying that you found something better or just that you haven't had MH since then? I'm looking to add to my emergency supply stock and am considering purchasing some from MH but certainly want to hear about good and bad experiences.

Some threads are worth reviving with additional information, if not for the OP, then for those seeking information in the future. This is one of them. When I started planning my shop, I knew I would be fully insulated, heated/cooled with a full bath and on 2x6 equivalent walls (I built with 6 ½"...

@tig my compliments on how you explained everything. I have no experience with home automation beyond basic Google rules and light switches but the way you wrote the summary of what you did was a fantastic balance between easy to understand for the layman with the technical requirements for an...

Please don't take my question as a dig on your machining, it's quite opposite actually. I recognize the amount of setup and/or programming involved in your accomplishment and the fact that sometimes using a solid billet is in fact the best way to go. Perhaps you can expand on what it took to get...

Curious, since it's for a tooling jig (and presumably not structural), could you get away with a 3d printed piece if this was needed in more than just a few pieces?

I'm familiar with what they are (I use them on some of my doors for the specific purpose they serve). My request is for the opinion of why not to use them. I believe like any other tool, there are inherit risks vs. rewards to be considered and proper training/preparation significantly impacts...

Please elaborate on this statement.

I've been quietly following your thread but need to take a moment to thank you. Most people don't realize it, but little nuggets of information are invaluable to others and in this case, I'd never heard of cast blast until now. This is exactly something I've been looking for in the past and will...

Thanks Duker, managed to ****** this for my shop.
