    Induction Tool to Break Rusted Fasteners Loose

    Worked like a charm. I only had to use it on the very rusted rear bleeders. The fronts were far less rusted and far easier to get to. I didn't get the rears red hot; just enough to get some smoke and then a bit more. Broke them loose with a ratchet then several tighten/loosen cycles so I...

    Wood Stove: How many cords?

    If you want to use wood heat this winter, you better start putting wood up like crazy. If you expect to use 4 cords, put up 8. The first year will ****; the 2nd much better. Put up double what you need for 3-4 years and life will be much easier. I haven't processed firewood the last 2 years...

    Air System Piping-- don't overthink it (lessons from my recent project)
