    Selecting a Framer Nailgun

    I don’t have a lot of experience with many framing nail guns, but I can tell you I bought a Bostitch F21PL fifteen years ago and it’s been great. I’ve framed two houses, multiple garages and sheds, some porches, and many smaller random projects with it and it’s been great. I’ve probably oiled it...

    Air Line Through Garage Wall

    What if you used a PEX to NPT drop ear elbow and bolted it to the inside of the LB cover?

    Puget Dude’s creations and fabrications (Random project thread.)

    Looks like an optical illusion. If you zoom in, you can see a cricket in the middle directing water towards the two drains.

    Some Old Fasteners

    I was working on a drill press we have at work and it was like that. The bolts were a 9/16 and the nuts were a 1/2. Interesting stuff. Another thing is I have some old wrenches, and instead of being marked with the actual size of the opening, they’re marked with the diameter of the bolt they...

    Disposing of used/dirty/contaminated vinegar...

    You could just put it in some jugs (old milk jugs or something) and just put it in the trash.

    pallet forks --- will my mag drill with annular cutters touch them?

    Agree with this! Forks aren’t that hard. However it’s still not a good idea to put a hole in them. Also, depending on the weight of the trailer and the rating of your fork, you may bend the fork. It’s very annoying trying to use the forks when one is bent. I know because the clowns where I...

    How much hammer drill do I really need?

    I have both an m12 hammer drill and an m18 hammer drill. For small projects I grab the m12. For more than a handful of concrete screws, I’d use the m18. For big projects or drilling anything bigger than say 1/4”, I’ve got an m18 rotary hammer. I use them quite a bit as my house is made of...

    Living in a shop

    I would verify it’s legal to live in the apartment first, but assuming it is, and as long as it works for you, I don’t see any reason not to go for it.

    O Ring assortment's that don't ****?

    We use many o-rings of various sizes and materials at my work. We buy them from theoringstore.com. They sell assortments, but I can’t speak to the quality of the assortments as we buy in bulk in the sizes and materials we use. The o-rings we get are good quality and correctly sized though...

    In the Market for a New Oxy/Acet Cutting torch kit.

    We have a victor setup at work and I have a smith setup. I don’t notice a difference in performance. As far as rebuilding them, I don’t recommend it. IMO, something that you hold in your hand and can blow up and seriously injure or kill you, is not the kind of thing I would want to DIY. I was...

    Whats the purpose of calling 811, call before you dig?

    I called when I put up my fence. I told them where I was working and what I was doing. They said great they’ll be out in a few days. I came home the next day and there we’re several flags in the backyard saying all clear. I started my fence a couple days later as I didn’t know how many utilities...
