    Weight reduction on a pizza peel?

    Apparently a sheet of pastry cloth goes through the slot all the way around the bottom and clips to make a belt. Then you grab the seam and move it up and down the board in order to pick or place your dough.

    Weight reduction on a pizza peel?

    Picked up this homemade pizza peel at Goodwill for a few bucks. Appears to be made of ash and fairly well. But the slot is throwing me for a loop. What possible purpose could it serve?

    Welding mild steel to hard mystery plate

    He's here. He just had to order electrode, an adapter for the small spool and then wait for his coworkers to clean all their **** off the table in order to have a nice flat work surface to use to get the best attack at this. Still waiting on that last one.

    Ever see a switch that was put together backwards?

    This switch is in the basement of my wife's parsonage. Off is on and on is off. It's wired to interrupt just the hot from a bulb containing source power. The switch has continuity with the lever in the down position marked as off. I originally thought it might've been a case where someone...

    Welding mild steel to hard mystery plate

    Would abrasion resistant steel tell the carbide blade in my cold saw to **** off? It did cut it but it did a number on the blade.

    Welding mild steel to hard mystery plate

    Everybody loves pictures right? The original construction has the top welded on. Scars from the previous coworker welds that snapped off easily. The ledges that will get welded in to support the plate.

    Welding mild steel to hard mystery plate

    It's kind of a salvage job. We needed to move a tool with a hydraulic cylinder mounted to the bottom so the cart got a hole torched in it. I'm trying to turn that mess into a more usable cart with a removable plate to allow both uses. The strips to hold the plate in place are what I'm hoping...

    Welding mild steel to hard mystery plate

    I've got a work project that involves welding some strips of A36 to a piece of hardish something on a large metal cart. The cart was originally used to move around injecting molding tools. The top of the cart is a piece of 1/2" thick plate. I know the top is hard because when someone welded...

    Working on chuck concentricity

    I currently have the backing plate machined with a step in it that just fits inside the step on the back of the chuck. Would you suggest I hit that with a file to remove a bit or just try to play whack-a-mole with it as it sits now?

    What a perfectly GarageJournal response.

    A future project: a sleep deadman switch

    I come from a family with sleep issues. Compound on top of that a night work schedule and a wife who left me and seems to want to just live separate lives while pretending it's healthy and I find myself trying to get back to sleep a lot after the initial 4 or 5 hours. In talking with my doctor...

    Voltage callout of 200/1/60

    It is indeed a Japanese robot. In their power spec is the 200 a single hot to ground/neutral or 2 hots 180 degrees out of phase?

    Voltage callout of 200/1/60

    I noticed this voltage spec on a piece of automation equipment tonight. Am I correct in assuming that since we are looking at 200 and not 220/240 that this equipment is expected to be wired in using a wild leg of a 240V 3phase?
