Not to get too far off topic, but aren't they trying to phase out Halon?

Sand works great for magnesium fires. Isn't Halon super expensive? I'd rather use that for the garage and the ABC's for the kitchen. Every had to clean up fire extinguisher mess from an engine bay? No thank you. Who cares about the kitchen that's women's work.

Saw this on the news, it was apparently being blamed on misinformation of the weight of the tub.

bump, you don't have to be a machinist, just someone that knows what a broken gear looks like.

Looking to buy a lathe in Spring Hill, Ks. Can't check it out myself. Delivery has been worked out, but I don't want to buy sight unseen. If anyone with a bit of lathe experience could check it out, we could work out something for the favor.

I can't believe no one mentioned a Shrinking stump. seems hokey, but hey, if its good enough for ferrari and buggatti, its good enough for me.

I've been looking for an excuse to get a few peacocks.

Why do you have the chains bolted to the outside of the heads?

Thats a whole lota talk about using a torque wrench for a lug nut..... what ever happened to just getting 'em tight with a 4 way? Just seems a bit fastidious.

Oh my yes, nothing better to fall asleep to than rain on a tin roof! I dunno about cost. I thought tin was the cheapest way to go. I've built a few pole barns, and if there was anything cheaper than tin, I'm sure we would have used that.

Mine is Lag bolted on three sides to 2 1/2" x 8" white pine and the 6x6 leg on the fourth side. Probably overkill for a 4" vise, but thats the way my bench is built. I'd rather overkill than under kill. I'd say as a general guideline if your going to be bolting a vise to wood make sure the...

i was just kidding around I see no problem with an S shaped hose.

Why not just turn the compressor 90°?
