    Has someone used an electric tooth bruch for cleaning

    Has someone used an electric tooth brush for cleaning nuts/bolts and small auto parts? I was thinking that with degreaser or simple green, the action would quickly clean parts. Also get into crevices. Please don't laugh !! Movin/on

    I've got 3/8 OD 5/16 ID bronze bushings 3/4 inch long to re-bush Stromberg WW carbs. Got them thru Fastenal at a really good price in bulk. I've got 25 carbs. The outside bushings are OK at 3/4 inch but the center between the throttle plates needs to be just under 3/8. So I need to cut them in...

    Want to weld 2 trailer jack screws together but

    I'm not sure if they are forged or cast. I'm hoping that because of the smooth finish they are forged. If forged steel then I'll weld them. Plan on cutting then boring each with a 3/4 drill and inserting a 3/4 rod to allow turning the threads to match. I'll then weld and grind/file the...

    What was the original intended use for these: Bending Spokes or wires

    I bought these from closed down ship repair business and think they were used to bend rods/wires for Crab Pots. I'm sure they were just utilized for that chore. What was the intended use? They are about 20 inches long and are most likely forged but could be cast iron.

    Landis Threading and Tapping Machine

    A local scrap yard had this piece and didn't want to scrap it so he asked if I wanted it. For free it was hard to pass up. He loaded it onto my car hauler trailer and 2 miles later it was at my shop. It came with a full box of cutters and chasers and the Landis Handtool book that describes the...
