    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    Guys, I have a quick question on grinding stones and wire wheels. What size wheels are you using? I have a 6" wheel on now and it seems too small, granted it's lightly used. I have measured and a 7" wheel seems like it would easily fit but they don't have much for grit options. Anyone use the...

    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    I agree with what your saying. I thought it would be a fun project and hoped it wouldn't be to costly to get it back to looking good. It works fine so if the additional parts are too far out of line, I will simply pick up another Baldor and call it a day. In the meantime, If I could find the...

    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    Yes, that is deffinately one of my concerns. I would like to find both side covers, eye shields lamp shade and tool rests. I also need one wheel flange. If I can get the bolts that are needed to put everything together that would be great. If not, I have a fastenall fairly close so I think that...

    Great, thanks guys. I just found the manual so I'm writing down the few parts I'm hoping to find. I hope the parts won't cost more than I paid for the grinder. Lol

    I'm looking for a few parts for my grinder. Does anyone have spare parts laying around or know where a guy could find some. It's a half horse model.

    Welding fishing hooks

    I'm bringing this back because I am moving forward with my design. I was able to get good results with the silver solder but I'm not happy with the small propane torch I had used. I need a torch about half the size of a pencil torch. Anything like this available?

    How to open sheetrocked walls

    I have done a bit of construction through the years, buddy is a contractor. I just know how hard we have worked in the past to maintain a seal on the barrier. I'm a bit picky but I'm trying to keep what the carpenters worked hard to achieve. On the other hand, it's really tough to gauge how...

    How to open sheetrocked walls

    Thanks guys. Wheeler, that was my idea as well. If I could pull it out and leave the plastic in place, that would be ideal. I'm just finishing up my heater and then I'm getting me some outlets. Woohoo. I will try and get some pics so everyone can get a chuckle. Lol. It should work out ok.

    How to open sheetrocked walls

    I've done plenty of sheetrocking in my day but my experience with opening walls to run wires is zero. My goal is to cut a section of sheet rock out and keep from disturbing the plastic barrier. Once the Sheetrock is removed, I can then cut the plastic in the center, run my wires, tape it and...

    Finishing garage heater install. Quick question

    I changed some things around and feel a little safer about the gas line. I went with B vent so I think that should work out ok. I couldnt spring for the Stainless. If it starts to look bad in 5 years, I might change it then. Heres a quick question, Do I need 2 or 5 wire for the thermostat...

    Finishing garage heater install. Quick question

    Just found this online: To let you know, copper has been used for gas pipe for years. At one time, the smell that is added to natural gas, so you can detect it, had a high concentration of corrosive additives. Thiophane or t-butyl mercaptan is used to add the smell to natural gas, because...
