Free standing wood stoves are extremely efficient. Mine puts out an insane amount of heat and has useable heat for 5 hours on a single fill up. And I have a small one. Bigger ones last longer without touching them

I have a freestanding pedestal wood fireplace for 15 years. I get oak delivered by the tree guys and spit it myself. 100% free heat for 6 months. It heats my entire house but I have an easy open layout to heat. It's also 74 degs in my house on a 30 deg day. When everyone else keeps their...

I have an old Ingersoll Rand air compressor that all parts are discontinued. Can I use gasket maker on this gasket if so which one. I made a different one that was sandwiched between the Reed valve plates but this one seems like it will be impossible to make work being the lines are so thin. I...

I have the metal shields on the plugs and they still burn up the wires. I was thinking about going with the slip on ones that are rated for like 2000 deg. I'm thinking the metal just gets hot and transfers to the plug boots. They burn up where the boot meets the wire. It's in a dump truck. Not...

1998 GMC C6500 gas 366 engine. My car scanner won't read it. The heavy duty ones seem like they are for diesel. Around $100 best bang for the buck would be great. Something that can tell me spark if that's possible. This engine burns up spark plug wires like it's going out of style. It runs but...

I bought it $25, not to concerned with resale. My plan was to strip it and paint it. Something to mess around with

That looks great. Is it painted or bare metal? kind of hard to tell

I just picked up this same vise. Do you think the main bar for lack of correct term was painted originally? They never are on all the other vises I've seem on the forum. Seems odd as that's the part that slides

Kind of a little guy but I like the look. Was told it was a 4 in (5171) but it's a three and a half (5170). The reason I bought it was the bullet nose the bullet ends on the handle and the swept back swivel handle which has that 57 Chevy fins look to it which is when it was produced.. Should...

if oiling after cleaning to prevent rust what to use to clean the oil off directly before paint?

I got my old vise apart which was very easy. I stood in front of my grinder with the wire wheel for 2 hours trying to get the surface rust off. It works but it's painfully slow. Wondering if normal 5% vinegar is enough to soak and then a simple wire brush before paint. I don't feel like getting...

It'll get used when needed, not that's it's very often, only it will look much better on the bench

And there is the truth...plenty of scummy people that would do that

No other markings anywhere on it

How did you find the post from just my picture. I gotta know LOL
