    How hard is it to sharpen drill bits freehand on a diamond stone or do you need a drill doctor?

    This. buy yourself a drill bit gauge. Unless your eye-crometer is dialed in perfect, getting the flutes to match will be difficult.

    Welding aluminium for first time ever and its popping like tiny firecracker

    What machine? If using an inverter, your tungsten is the problem. Also... turn pulse off, especially if its your first time with aluminum. Not needed.

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    Sure, with one AMS, you can have up to 5 filaments. I figured that if I'm going to dive in.. Might as well go deep. Why not? Now I can do 9. Got the printer setup last night and already made several prints with multicolor. That is just awesome. I don't know why I waited so long. I have a spare...

    Best place to take a landscape trailer to have longer spring hangers added?

    I swear... I cant take threads form this guy... :rolleyes: Like seriously. Don't like how the axle is over the leaf... flip it. Put the axle on the bottom. All you have to do is buy Square U bolts. As far as the longer brackets.. Alot of ( not all) axles come with mounts. I'd bet the...

    Do I need to use a ground/neutral bonding plug on my generator?

    I'll start with this. I know very little about residential wiring. Could you have a place set up where you would set generator when using it, and have a ground rod? Would that work?
