I am planning to make one of these /\/\/\/\/\ and was wondering if it is better to have a sharp edge on the top pushing plate or a blunt edge or more possible, a rounded edge? I have seen them done in all three ways and figured that the sharp edge may cause a cut in the metal and possibly start...

Very cool, subscribed to also. I can't wait until it's finished

So nice to see that there are still companies out there that have not been reality TV f'edup. I sure hope that they have many more generations working on that old dirt floor. I was in a family business that had way too many pissin' matches going on and way too much yelling and door slamming. And...

I have a tumbler composter. The only thing I could add is to have several all started at different times. It takes a while to get it going but when you do, it does an awesome job. I have my kids pick up the worms when it rains or anytime they see them and toss them in the mix. They really help...

Season 16 episode 38. It didn't say it or at least I didn't see it.

Or you could ask a member here if you could borrow/rent their's. I have one sitting up in the attic. If we knew where you were at, someone locally might be able to help. Eastwood sold quite a few and the copies that have been sold or made is probably equal or greater than the Eastwood number. I...

So here I am sitting in front of the sceen putting things on that fees sucking service that starts with an e and ends with bay, and I am watching my cable tv from the internet and have the History Channels H2 running and there is a episode called "Built by Hand". All I can say to everyone that...

It is all stuff that has been posted on and off for years on c/l, over feebay, forums and local ads. Just undesirable stuff, nothing like a diamond in the rough. I just need to get rid of it and can't throw it in the home recycle, it's too heavy and makes our garbage cans too heavy and the truck...

Check for a local plastic or plexiglass company. Most can bend or join to make a fixture like that. Here in Sacramento California we have a company called TAP plastics, you can do a search on the Internet to get an idea of what they do and in turn what you would look for in your area. I hope...

I have some older cast iron pieces, intakes from my 1950's cars, engine parts and brackets from the same vintage. Is it worth anything to someone that melts metal in a small scale home foundry? Or do I just chuck it to the recycler? I probably have about 300 pounds that I have collected and just...

Why????? I must have missed something. Care to explain to someone that hasn't got a clue? Thanks

Great info, thanks for sharing. I meant to put tubing but typed pipe by mistake so just to clarify I am planning to use 1 1/2" tubing. I wrote a reply but it didn't show up. ??? Anyway, I seems like I'll go with the 1 1/2" dies. I plan to go to the metal shop tomorrow and pick up the materials...

Tubing bender dies, which size? Hi all, I have taken the jump and decided to try my hand at building a tubing bender, so I bought the plans from gottrike dot com. Heard a lot of good things and only a few minor quirks and since I wanted to add my own touches, this seemed the way to go. So now I...

Very nice. +1 on renaming the thread. Seems so unassuming until the pictures open up.

That is cool! Any info and pictures of the batteries, motor, speed control and wiring under the body?

I like the little sharpener. I saw in the welding web thread video something I don't understand, why did he break off a portion of the tungsten and not just cut it in half? It seems like he has waisted that portion instead of cutting it in half and having two tungstens. My mentor told me the...

I saw this awhile ago and never had a reason to get it, now might be the time. Thanks

My daughter has a pair of glasses that need some help. They are the plastic type frames that don't have nose pieces to adjust like metal frames do. The nose portion is too wide and so her glasses sit on her cheaks instead of her nose. I have used some black closed cell foam and it works good...

I have a Roper Whitney model 68 stomp shear that I bought recently and needed to punch a small 3/8" hole but found out I don't have a L8 punch adapter. The punch is 1/2" wide at the base. I have the 1" adapter for the larger punches but couldn't find any spacer or sleeve in the three cases of...

Ah man, I thought this was a thread about welding steel outer rims onto cool looking aluminum centers!! I have been looking for someone to reweld some nice new chrome outer rims to my old classic Fenton Hawk rims. I guess I have to keep on looking. :) Very cool technology. How long until they...
