Nothing to contribute, but are you taking it apart because it doesn't work well or to make it look "pretty"?

Did anyone cover what should be used in a vehicle? Thanks!

Needed new bearings for the spindles of my riding mower last year. Went to bearing place because I didn't want junk. He asked if I wanted name brand or generic. I said name brand. I got Timken, but they were made in China.

FIL in northern Wisconsin would use rip cutoffs usually 1" ish, but didn't seem to have an issue with birds and mice, maybe because we saw a couple snakes come out of the piles when disassembling them.

People will disagree with me, but I would get the boards milled to 1 1/8" thickness if you want to end up around 3/4". They will shrink thru drying, and the extra thickness will let you work around sawing irregularities, and a little warpage/bowing.

Technically you only need to store or hide the disks. I doubt the thieves will bring their own unless they bring their own grinder. How about putting them in a box that is labeled something unrelated to grinders, such as "rat traps" ,springs, etc?

I posted a few years ago about my 20v dewalt. It only lasted about 1 1/2 summers. I let the smoke out of it. I got a dewalt 60 volt and have used it for probably 3 years with good results. The "head" is easy to restring, I only have one battery but I usually get at least 2 uses out of it...

Like the story our AG teacher would tell in the 70's of how spark plugs purchased at a big box store were seconds.

I bought some about 10 years ago from someone online.

Is there a higher grade line from these companies that you could get from a locksmith?

I think you could weld one up and make it work without much trouble. Doesn't need to be real precise, and you can file it a little to make it pretty good.

I looked at mine today. One has curved teeth, but the other has "rasp" teeth different on either end and on both sides so it can be reversed.

Thanks for the info.

Do those have curved teeth and fastened to the handle with screws? I have a couple like that. I thought they were for body work?

I was at a home show once where they had a display. I asked how they did with heavy rains and he said they will overflow and you need proper foundation drainage. I said that is why I have gutters! He didn't know how to answer about causing "ice damming"

I think of it this way: I could be spending money on a lot worse things. I'm not a drinker, gambler, smoker, sports fanatic, etc. The little bit that I spend on tools these days is hardly anything. It's not keeping food from our table. At worse case after I'm gone, someone sells it for scrap.

I have a bunch of files without handles, a wood lathe, nice dried wood even scraps, some copper pipe for ferrules and some nice pictures for ideas. Just a little motivation would be nice!

Sorry to hear about your father. Sounds like you need to get the building "weather proof". Come up with some way to get it insulated. Can you do a double door to get your truck in (maybe one standard size and the other oversized). I think this way you can get the equipment into it, while...

If you can figure out the size and thread, Grizzly has parts that might work.

With all the battery operated tools, how much will you use an extension cord? Makes me rethink my inventory!
