I used to paint washers, yellow for grade 70, orange for grade 80 and blue for grade 100 then just stamp the length. At the time I was towing I couldn't find brass tags locally, looks good.

You can use steel hammers into soft forms like your wooden stump or sand bag, soft hammers into hard forms. Old oxygen bottles make excellent steel dishing forms. If I ever get home again I'll snap some pictures. I'm booked to look at an acerage tonight with a 2 bay garage and living quarters...

The owners manual will tell you. My Wrangler is 95 ft/lbs, my personal Sierra is 125, and work F150 is 150. I use the lowest setting on my impact and torque wrench to final torque. I haven't let anyone else install my wheels unless I get to supervise, since I sheared off 2 lug nuts changing a...

I use a yellow paint marker to mark my initials and general contents. The same paint marker to fill the stamp insets on wrenches and sockets, from the days when I shared a shop with others who used the same tool brands. More to the point, I'm happy your prodigal box came home :). I once lost my...

The most effective insulation for a steel arch building is spray foam. Depending on location and population its usually the most expensive. Then the issue of how to protect the insulation from sparks, etc. Then you have the curve of the walls, you lose 80% of your wall space unless you frame...

Thank you, sae connector is exactly what I'm looking for. I have no idea why I can't get the picture to link.

We just picked up our 1998 863 from the mechanics shop. Repair bill included rebuilding a steering cylinder for our motor grader, so I'm not sure of the price breakdown yet. Horse traded some steel beams left over from my Dad's acreage for a final bill of $806. Oil cooled Deutz engine that...

Porch and floor paint for the hardi board. We used to use it every 5 years or so on roll off construction bins. Most isn't uv resistant so stay with a lighter neutral color.

Gearwrench makes a set. http://www.gearwrench.com/gearwrench-8939-39pc-ratcheting-screwdriver-set.html I'm not sure if they sell just the handle and extentions, but I think I picked up my set on sale for around $40.

Contact your local dealerships or repair shops. The snap on dealer makes his rounds at least twice a month, and the mechanics or service manager will have his contact info and the day and approximate time he shows up at their shop. Contact him and politely ask where you can meet him on his...

The last 2 garage doors I installed, we set them so they wouldn't crush a Styrofoam coffee cup. That may have been the recommended force according to the installation manual, iirc, but it has been 20 years or so. If you can find the model number I'm sure you can find the installation manual online.

Forgive my poor paint skills, but remove everything inside the red box.

Just a quick thought, why not reduce the size of the shed to 17x14 roughly. Leave the back wall in place with about 6" above grade as a retaining wall. Use the old bricks to rebuild the end wall, and reconfigure your windows and or doorway. Where the demolished portion was, make a patio with a...

Try searching using the word "style". Victor style and Harris style both popped up on my first Google try.
