I've never personally had an issue with drilling interior plastics in cars. I've installed switches, power ports, etc. I just drill a pilot hole and size up. My drill bits always cut through like butter with no cracking. If you're working on aged, brittle plastic ymmv. You might want to do...

Good work!

It's hard to see because the pics have the garage door closed, but yes my suggestion was to fill the depression. If the sunken area is 10ft2, though, you might be able to do a gentle slope/berm where the door closes instead of filling the whole area. If this wouldn't work without making a...

I'd recommend asphalt cold patch. I've had good success with that. QPR is available in most box stores and is widely considered the best quality: http://www.lowes.com/pd_134917-36498-MRN12_1z0ud9b__?productId=3656652&pl=1

Funny timing, I just had an energy audit conducted on Tuesday and received the results today. My audit was performed by one guy and took around 2 hours. It cost me $400 and the report was 22 pages long. In short, I thought I knew the information I would get in an audit report, but at least in...

with careful monitoring, I would just throw a propane or torpedo heater up there. Be cautious of CO (use a detector) and not just fire risk.

So I'm wondering what everyone's opinions are on the different hp models. Of course people seem to go nuts over the "big boys" --the 3/4 and 1HP blocks, but what are the pros and cons of different powers? Are there things you can do with a 1HP block that you can't with a 1/4 or 1/3? Is there...

Yes! Xcelite is what we used in the navy--every workshop had a suitcase-style box of them and oh god the smell!

You're not the only one! :beer:

I was screwed over on a CL deal on a block grinder a couple weeks ago. Guy posted his ad on CL, I called within 15 minutes and spoke to the guy on the phone. We agreed to price (full asking because it was a steal) and I said when can I come get it--anytime that works for you. He said it was...

For those that may be as confused as I was--our GJ member is the buyer and he's having a dispute with the SELLER on ebay

kneeman: If you're painting something, you can rest the part on the points of the discs (instead of flat on the surface of the table) so that you can paint both sides without waiting for the paint to completely cure first.

Thanks guys, but at 40 some pounds this vise is already 1/3 of my body weight. I have no interest (or need) to own anything larger or heavier than this one (unless one of you gentlemen are willing to tote it for me!). :Help: I'll have to see if I can get a better picture of the color on the...

Okay, I posted on another thread what seems like a week ago without a single comment, so I'm cross posting here. You guys are the ones that made me want to spend a weekend playing with a vise, anyways... Well, I recently picked up a 506-51811 and spruced it up (Pardon the cell phone shots--I...
