Trying to come up with a means to make another copy of this rare fender emblem for my ‘55 Dodge truck. I have the driver’s side, the passenger side is missing. Due to the rare “CUSTOM REGAL” designation, these are nowhere to be found. Looking for recommendations, resources, or ideas (3d print...

Working on plans selection for a yard shed. City code limits me to 120 sq-ft "footprint." What exactly does this include (cantilever, roof overhang, floor size...?). Have been trying to research various sources but getting conflicting definitions. Still waiting for call back from city planner...

For those of you that have used the self-solder **** connectors for strand wire or have trade knowledge, are there any specific name brands or sources to avoid the cheap Chinese “knock-off” products?

Cool! I'm inspired...! :thumbup:

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear it's holding up well. Just got an estimate of $25k for a similar style fence in my side yard. I have a lot of slopes and angles over 175' linear feet. Also am the new owner of a TIG/stick welder but still pondering if I am up to the time commitment, although I...

Sorry to bring up an old post, but have a question for Jack. Did you have any sloped sections of the fence? If so, how did you jig / calculate for the odd angles and spacing?

Bingo! :thumbup: That was it. Also upon closer inspection of the new bulbs I noticed a slight residue of "rubbery" residue on the outer ring contact that easily wiped off with my thumb. Wiped off the residue, bent the tabs up slightly in the lamp socket - works great! Thanks all!

Having trouble getting only certain (larger) LED 3-way bulbs to work in my 3-way lamp. Replaced an incandescent bulb 50-150W (worked fine) with a 3-way LED 5-16W. Works fine but not enough light. Went to a bigger LED (7-21W) but this one works only on the "3rd click" of the switch. I conclude -...

4 months into "new to me" house (built 2000), still seeing electric bill $60-70 higher than expected. According to data on our monthly bill we are using 60% more power than our "average" neighbors. Something's not right... - there's just 2 of us, no kids - gas stove/oven, gas dryer, gas water...

Posted on craigslist for $10 package deal. It blew up my phone within hours, 30+ responses. Sold to 1st responder, feel pretty good that they went to a "good home" where they will be enjoyed / appreciated.

Looked closer, the casting says "Made in England" but no brand name. Does that give you a clue to the mfr? Good call! :thumbup: That was very close! It's a Union #6.

Had to do some cleaning, found a casting that says Patent 1883.
