    Air compressor running constantly...bad?

    Where is the air going? If you have the cylinder at top dead center..both valves should be closed and no where for the air to go. You may have it on the wrong stroke.

    Melt aluminum without a cutting torch?

    I hope this is your own car and does not belong to someone else. Aluminum melts at 1,221°F (660.3°C). I do not know what alloy you have. Animpact would be my first choice. Then again I have air tools. Sawzall or plasma would be one way to cut it. You might be able to sort of melt blobs of...

    Cosmogony, physics, the big bang and tools

    My GF has more tools than I do. Compressors, shop vacs, tool boxes full, bench vice, etc... She changes oil, brakes, she put brake lines on her Ram pickup a while back. It is sad how she ended up with all the tools though. Her husband passed (many years ago). :sad: She has no issues with me...

    The Coolest Toolbox??

    Cutting fire wood without chainsaw

    I have an electric chainsaw..forgot about those. DUH! It was given to me. Google "saw buck" to see how they used to cut firewood. Or how they used to hold it up for cutting anyway.

    Cutting fire wood without chainsaw

    different thing of course..but my "little brother" uses demolition blades to cut up scrap metal with. I was not big enough or strong enough to hang onto his saw when I tried it up at his house.

    Cutting fire wood without chainsaw

    I have an old craftsman bow saw that is pretty big (30" maybe?). It has a padded hand grip on the other end so two people can use it to cut large limbs. You would probably only need a smaller one though.

    Cutting fire wood without chainsaw

    Agree...a bow saw would work well in that situation.
