    Knives & blacksmithing and more

    Beautiful work, I could spend an hour watching either one of your photos/knives. Also interesting that your wife is Norwegian; where in Norway is she from? Edward

    Polishing aluminum engine cases with a rotary dremel...?

    Oh and the flex shaft attachment takes away a lot of the irritation regarding size and cord getting in the way

    Polishing aluminum engine cases with a rotary dremel...?

    I got the Dremel 4000 for christmas and feel I've used it enough now to have an opinion about it: It has more than sufficient power for sanding, polishing, grinding and cutting soft materials. It has just enough power for doing the same on harder materials like steel. If you push it hard and...

    The Christmas Tool Thread - what did you get this year?

    Big dremel toolbox complete with flexible shaft, router attachments, angle attachment, lots and lots of accessories and also a separate rod to hang the Dremel while working with the flexible shaft.

    Dremel 3D Printer

    Looks really neat. I'm not sure if I will ever have a real need for printed parts directly, though it could be really useful for making molds for polyurethane bushings among others. Hmmmm.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Helped a buddy replace a few broken exhaust manifold studs and change the manifold gasket while we were at it. Don't you just love it when screw extractors actually prove to work exactly like they say they should?

    For Cleaning Wrenches and Sockets

    If the only downside of using the dishwasher is the bleach contained in most detergents; I'd suggest finding a detergent NOT containing bleach and use the hell out of that dishwasher. With the selection of detergents you have in the states I can't imagine it being hard to find a detergent like...

    The Armstrong torque wrench was in the closeouts, among the "1 of a kind" group. The price was somewhere between 100 and 150 I believe. Think I might have bought the last one..

    when a cosmik binturong sells stuff: the other side of the story...

    Although I don't have any pictures, nor am I able to take any pictures right now, of the stuff I bought from this guy, I can at least say they we're top notch. Everything came well wrapped, shipped as fast as it could, and a fair amount of nice freebies were added too. I can recommend this guy...

    What is best way to mark nuts, bolts, and metal parts.

    +1 on the threading back into where they came from. This way, when I'm doing a transmission replacement for instance, the only bolts in my service cart are the transmission bolts. My phone is also a shock&water resistant type so I keep it together with the tools and parts in the service cart...

    Hehe, googling a bit more I see that axe people take their sharpening very seriously, and so I might have stepped on someones foot, so sorry about that. It seems all sharpening pucks are handheld, and mostly used to sharpen axes?

    I googled "how to use a sharpening puck", and the best I got was a youtube video of this weird camouflaged guy with bracelets, who apparently rarely sharpens his crazy hollow axe "in the field" but is still kind enough to show us how he does it. So I got a good laugh from that, but still don't...

    Order no 27439 for me. A pleasure as always!! Don't think my order qualified for any freebies, though, but the tools alone should be worth it :)
