I saw the entire film on pbs one day a few years ago. I didn't know what it was ahead of time, but I was instantly mesmerized.

This is good information. Thank you. Did you encounter specific design restrictions, setback restrictions, etc? I plan to get a permit for all work, but the permit department doesn't have info posted on basic parameters. I'm also nervous about HOAs. I can't tell how restrictive the HOA is...

Maybe make wood pellets for pellet stove or smoker. There are machines that do that.

I'm going to be moving to the Birmingham, McCalla, Hoover area in the next month and I'm not seeing any places with a good shop, other than unfinished basements. Those of you from the area, what kind of restrictions should I be aware of when considering a build? Is a full, unfinished basement...

It looks beautiful. How much does it weigh, and how much weight so you think it will support?

Does the side door of the welder open up enough for you to read the chart on the inside? Is it awkward to change spools?

That looks really nice. That also looks like a ton of work to be able to cut some tubing.

How thick were the gussets? Could you have used the material cut from the seat mount plates to make the gussets?

The torque wrench is great neck. 20-150 ft-lbs.

Thanks.

These are also metric. We're metric sockets common 60 years ago?

Yeah, I can't even blame autocorrect on that one. I was just working off of memory and that sounded pretty good at the time.

I think you may be right. I also think I have the ratchet that goes with these. I found this pic online of the sockets and ratchet.

I found a few of these when I was cleaning out my family's garage. I didn't notice the hexagonal input until I started going through the box I had these in. Can anyone identify? Markings are "made in USA" and 18mm

$120 including 3 toolboxes. One of which is the Bonney top chest.
