    Unistrut

    Neat stuff. Purchased some of this stuff to make an overhead crane for my garage (pictures and or video to follow when I finish it in a couple days). Relatively cheap and strong, and so many uses.:thumbup:

    Tool invention needed?

    Ok so today I'm changing the rear axle bearings on a customers ATV. One side, the balls are completely gone and has been riding on just the inner and outer races only (for a while by the looks of it). I advised the customer that with the bearing disintegrated like that, the only thing holding...

    determining CFM of a compessor

    I have a pretty decent compressor that's about 10 years old but I don't know what the cfm is. It's not in the manual or anywhere on the compressor. Any way to get a good guesstimate? Here is what I got on the compressor. Compressor Brand name FORCE. 60 gal V-twin pump (Eagle?) No markings or...

    Fender covers

    I was watching Overhaulin today and wondering. They paint the car/truck all nice and $expensive$ looking, and then they install the nice engine. But when they are doing this and leaning/bent over the fenders, they don't put any kind of protector or cloth/blankets to protect the paint. Guys are...

    Diy brake pressure bleeder.

    I work on ATV's in my own 1 man shop. When it comes to bleeding/flushing brakes it's a PITA all by myself. I have the MityVac suction bleeder and not a real fan of it (the vac pump is good though) I had this thought before and while searching I came across a aircraft maintenence thread and...

    A self powered wheel barrow using a snow blower

    Well my neighbor, who is an excavating contractor (mini hoe, dump trailer) threw some ideas at me for making a self powered wheel barrow. He said it would be alot easier when doing drain tile jobs dumping sand, rock etc. around a house. We discussed using the back half of a snow blower for the...

    Used compessor oil.

    I have a Force 3.5 HP 60 gal twin piston compressor I bought about 17 yr's ago. I don't think it would have more than 200 hours on it. It still looks new and I drain the tank water twice a week (a bit of water and a few drops of oil come out). It gets used about 3-4 times a week for 5 mins at a...

    Simple homemade piston ring compressor.

    After looking at ring compressors for atv's and motorcycles online I made this myself for nothing. Since most atv's and mc's have about 3 inch pistons I grabbed a piece of 3 inch abs pipe and cut about a half inch off the end. Then I split the ring in one spot. Now just spread it open and place...

    RK Wrenches

    I have these old rusty wrenches that I can't identify. The only info I got was from a Honda forum and they appear to be included in repair kits for vintage 60's-70's Honda bikes. Would these be anything somebody would want for their old restored bikes and missing repair kit parts? I would give...

    Snakes or mice in the garage? You pick.

    I have noticed a couple small grass snakes in my wood shed attached to the garage. I do have a mouse or two now and again and just set traps and they take care of the problem. So would you prefer snakes or mice? I'm a little creeped out with snakes even though I've held them and then released...

    Wood stove heat sink?

    I would have put this in the heating section but thought I'd get more reply's here. Mods move it if you feel necessary. If you were to put concrete blocks like the kind for building walls against the sides, back, and on top of the stove, would you see much benefit? Would you use less wood, have...

    Screwdriver handles on the handle end of a ratchet. Why??

    Why do you like them? They add about an inch or more circumference and really what is the point?. I have used them and hate them. They don't feel right and limit the use in tight spaces. Useless if you ask me.:headscrat On another tangent. I use SO bent handle flex head ratchets. It's funny to...

    Lumber tarps instead of Tyvek?

    I'm building a 10X10 shed off the side of my garage for fire wood storage and other things. I don't want to buy a whole roll of Tyvek when I can get lumber tarps (for wrapping lumber for outdoor storage) for next to nothing. Would I be ok using this? What about using this also on the roof under...

    Parts washer hose

    Hey there GJ users. Does any one know of some good, very flexible hose for my parts washer to connect to the brush? PVC hose just gets hard after a few weeks and gas line hose is too stiff. When I worked in a shop we had a Safety Kleen washer that had very a thin walled, very supple flexible...
