    Surveilence system

    I've been looking for a motion sensing system w/ hard drive and 8 IR cameras. The kicker is, I want some of the little black bulbs that cover the cameras so you can't see which direction they're pointed. I'm not sure if they'll be able to see through the tint if they're not calibrated for...

    Bought a Wind Turbine

    So, you're saying that your vehicle that couldn't meet modern crash standards or modern emission standards gets less mpg than his vehicle that costs more? That sounds reasonable :dunno: I'd hop into a diesel hybrid in a second if honda made one. They did make a CNG civic for a while. Sadly...

    I need torx smaller than T10, recomend?

    I've had this set for a couple years and haven't managed to break any of the bits. http://www.ebay.com/itm/32-1-Screwdriver-Tool-kit-Torx-T3-T4-T5-T6-S433-/260821475310?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3cba2bdfee They go down to t3 and have a few other small Allen and screwdriver bits.

    Tig welder for a total newbie.

    It's just steel, MIG it. With the proper heat setting, it's every bit as good as TIG.

    What Would You Bring?

    Do your heads use screw in or press in studs? Somebody already mentioned the timing set.

    Kids play set

    Toys R' Us occasionally has theirs on sale. The plastics are the killer, wood is cheap by comparison. Mine came with two swings, a glider, slide, monkey bars and a climbing wall for $500. It took me about 8 hours to put together.

    shielding gas costs

    Does this mean that if I buy a used torch setup with tanks off CL, I can't have them filled?

    shielding gas costs

    I guess I should have asked this in my last post, but what is the external size of a 125? I saw one of those world wildest videos one time where one of the welding supply places caught on fire and the tanks were going off like fireworks. It was impressive. I've got a buddy that's an iron...

    shielding gas costs

    Thanks for the info, now I really feel raped. I might ask my boss who fills their bottles and if I can get their corporate rate. I thought about getting a larger bottle, but the 80 fits in the trunk of my civic and it's pretty easy to move around. Professur, how is the CO2 performing for you?

    shielding gas costs

    I went to refill my bottle today and the place I purchased my bottle from had been bought out by praxair. $62 to refill a bottle I paid $110 for new and full. :headscrat Is that reasonable? The bottle is about 3 feet tall and contains argon/co2 BTW.

    converting a BBQ grill to natural gas

    I do most of my grilling in the summer and I'm very CHEAP. I don't like to heat my house with my range and then pay to pump it out with the A/C. The old lady prefers the taste of the grill, I don't care too much as long as it's MEAT! I've been to the Lenexa BBQ a couple of times, but...

    converting a BBQ grill to natural gas

    I never mastered charcoal. No matter how long I let the coals sit, I could always taste the starter fluid. :headscrat

    converting a BBQ grill to natural gas

    I researched my model and the conversion kit was $60. It consisted of a few bezels. I just read the destructions and the main change was unscrewing the orifices. I tried it, hooked it up, and watched the temp. It hit 500 F in about 10 minutes. That's more than I need. Thanks for the help...
