That’s awesome, thanks for sharing

Nice job What process are you going to use to join the new parts?

Great point, I am planning on a base once I find a final location for it. And yes it is very top heavy. You should of seen me pulling it down the driveway. Scary!

Thanks for the info. The 3/16” was a piece of scrap probably a little over a ft wide. It was a long time ago. I built a few fire rings for a camp ground and used 1/8” 16” wide. From what you said about your machines this is probably a 10 gauge maximum unit. I am mostly a 16 gauge and down shop...

I just pulled this oldie out of storage to rebuild it. I have had this for about 20 years or so. It's one of those machines that i don't use often but when you need it it's there. It has 4 1/4" dia. Rolls. There isn't any markings or tags so I am wondering if anybody has ever seen one like it. I...

We install a lot of the Mitsubishi mini split systems in ma. The thing to Remember is that a space requires a specific amount of heat at the design temperature you are trying to maintain. The first thing to do is get an accurate manual J load calculation done. This will tell you what size...

I built this set up last year and put it on the top of my side box for easy access. These are the two i use all the time.

I just removed the oil fired furnace and started installing a new high efficiency gas furnace with a modulating heat pump in my shop.

You are correct. I am an HVAC fabricator and double cut is the way to go. They are not as maneuverable as single cut when making turns but it can be done.

The curved slats are so if and when the torch is running a straight line it does not weld to the slat below while cutting.

Hot rod magazine has an article this month about a 1969 chevelle that was built in a single. Where there is a will there is a way.

Nice work

R 410a is made up of a blend of two different refrigerants. When you have a leak they do not leak out at the same rate. This is called temperature glide. So it is possible to have an unbalanced mixture of the two refrigerants in the remaining charge. The proper way to charge a ductless split is...

Changed the metal support slats on the plasma table this afternoon.

Will the ambient temperature in the garage get below freezing when the system is off? If so you will have to antifreeze the entire system. Also your piping arrangement will need to be designed so that you do not shock the boiler with the cold return water coming back to the boiler from the unit...
