Welcome from the sticks of NW Ohio!

Around here you can get solid lard at the butcher, or sometimes at the grocery, near the Mexican food for some reason.

The oil-sorp type products do work better, and in most cases can be cheaper. That said, I never remember to buy any, but we do have a cat, so you can guess what I use.

Airbrush compressor plumbed to a 2 gallon tank?

Ha! I forgot about those. My Rx-7s we're usually low enough on oil when I changed it that I didn't have to wait for them to drain. The filter came off clean. I too worked in a service station, and quickly learn from my uncles to make a quick funnel of sorts from the filter box for Toyotas...

QUOTE=Alexander;7260484]You guys have fortresses compared to my setup. I feel like I may as well put all my tools and equipment out on the sidewalk with a 'Free' sign. I could do that! No one would take a thing. I live in the country, and we are just starting out. Best security system, all my...

Welcome! Be careful. These guys will have you out buying snap on boxes and mohawk lifts in no time if you're not careful. My tool spending went quickly through the roof after I stumbled in here. VFDs and hydraulic equipment, I'm contemplating tearing down my shop for a 60x40. It's a...

I was given this as a gift. The stand is a little hokey, but the light is serious. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-3200-Lumen-Multi-Directional-LED-Tripod-Work-Light-DE007/206839059

Bolt that holds the blade on the crankshaft of a push lawnmower. Sometimes. Lol. Had fun with that one more than once.

Not meaning to highjack but, Matt, can you give me some more details about your system? I actually have the same issue as the OP with iron plus a little sulfur every now and again. I'm familiar with some common water issues in your area. (we're practicality neighbors as far as the internet...

Egg smell is usually sulfur around here.

For something so specific I would go to McMaster Carr. Pricey but worth it if you know what you want, and know you can't get from the usual sources. I know others will look and see that I've preached them in the past, and was condemned because they are "over priced". But it depends on what...

Quick? A laser cutter, lol. If you have a lot to do maybe some kind of cookie cutter contraption in a hydraulic press.

I have been spoiled by McMaster Carr at work. Started ordering from there for home, just because I'm starting to get where my time is worth more than dickering around to save 5 bucks on a box of bolts. Shows up next day, once the same day, from domestic suppliers, right here in Ohio actually...
