Ha Ha Just saw the post above my entry. Sorry to repeat.

A very effective method, and non-toxic, is to get a spray bottle or garden sprayer and mix up a soapy solution of dish soap and water. I have used it on several nests and the hornets die quicker than any chemical spray. I believe I read that the soap film suffocates them somehow. If you find the...

Very nice build. Looks like you have some great machinary in there. Thanks for your input on my lathe question. Would love to get some more of your two cents if I pick up a lathe.

Thank you Outlawmws... all input is appreciated. It definately appears to be the Logan 1875. The picture on the instruction manual looks exact... even the same cabinet. Maybe he would be willing to throw in something else to sweeten the deal.

Futher investigation... it appears to be an 1875 10" swing latch model. Thanks to larry g for that great lathe link.

I mean 'awesome' sometimes I type too fast... that is how I got Terapin instead of Terrapin. (insert smiley face here)

Awsome job... love the older machines.

BTW... just checked KBB and they say a '79 in excellant shape is $2800. I would not say mine is excellant shape but good - very good... soooo maybe worth around $1800.

Thank you everyone for the replys. He says that he has it on ebay for a starting bid of $3400, which I have not verified. My bike is in decent shape. Have not started it for a couple of years but I know it runs well, maybe only 26,000 miles on it. I stopped riding when the kids came along, felt...

You are doing a great job with the space you have. That's a nice setup with the fold down bench surrounded by shelving.

I found this diagram a while back when I was doing some research... might help. http://www.tptools.com/StaticText/airline-piping-diagram.pdf

I don't believe in coincidence so it is odd that this post cropped up. I was thinking about posting a thread wondering if anyone knew why it seems there is a recent glut of 'new in the box' Dewalt tools on craigslist in the Detroit area. Is there a way to tell a fake from genuine. I ask because...

I have installed a 45k Hot Dawg inside my, as yet, uninsulated 24 x 24 shop space and I have had no problems. It runs quite a while now because of lack of insulation but still does the trick. I had heard that the Mr. Heaters were quite a bit louder and had also heard about problems out of the...

How about 'The Black & Blue'
