Well, considering how long it takes to let all the oil drain down into the pan...forever...there's surely enough "up there" for it to not be dry. plus, i can hear the oil falling down even when there is just one quart. so i don't share this concern. good thought though.

Can any of you say with certainty that you don't contaminate your oil with old oil? I've tried various methods and this is the one that works best for me. I drive my engines very hard, so i think this method has to be the explanation of the longevity I have gotten out of every vehicle I have...

I've never heard of anyone doing this, but because I know no one will come close to what I do...I always do my own. I drain my oil, put plug in and pour a qt new oil. start engine and run for a minute or less. stop and let it settle down into pan mostly and drain again..repeat probably about 4...

What do you guys think about expansion joints in a 16x20 shop that is gonna sit on old concrete floor. ground doesn't come close to freezing here, so why have joints?

I think I just might think about doing what you suggest. Never thought about doing my own. I drive an hour to find a roaster. I mean as one poster said, geez there are 1000s of things to be obsessed about and get good at, so why not...LOL

Obsess? Obsess and discern aren't related words in my understanding. Discerning means to recognize/perceive the difference...in this case of topic quality flavor vs. nothing more than caffeine jolt that makes my two year old spit, but he says yum to good quality espresso. BTW, It takes just as...

You guys have a sophisticated tool palette, but you sure don't know anything about good coffee. I've never understood when someone is discerning about one thing and completely the opposite on other things. Perplexing... Brazilian Santos whole bean roasted locally in Little Rock, AR ...ground...

I guess I don't have a life...just spent way too long looking at about a hundred pages on this thread. I am pretty sure I did not see one claw hammer in these tool boxes. My guess is if someone on this thread needed to pull a nail out of a board they would use some overly priced and ugly colored...

Re: The "M" House - Razed and Rebuilt Detached Carriage House/Barn - Start to Finish guess there are no termites in NY. i'd say never take block to and especially below ground. solid concrete up past top of ground. and an arborist told me just the other day...never use Bradford's, they snap...

lg, i appreciate the advice, but i already have the perfect box for my needs. wouldn't change it if i had $1M to spend. I just don't want to set it on the floor and I don't want a wooden base for moisture and termite reasons (mostly moisture). I am thinking about bolting it to a metal base...

doesn't help if you don't know EXACT title. but thanks, i tried every rendition of quotes and title and every other feature of advanced search. without knowing title the search function doesn't work correctly. If i put "Let's see your" and search by title it should render every thread with that...

hmm, lowering expectations. isn't that related to complacency? ensures that the masses are closer to average? lowering standards... but you guys all rant and rave about quality products/tools. dude, you are apparently an american. do the american thing and demand what is rightfully yours: a...

Following this thread and my thinking of taking the casters off my tool chest, I have been looking for pics/ideas of how people have mounted them to the floor. I don't want to put it in a table configuration, but don't want to just remove the casters and set on the floor either. Any advice or...

cheap yoga mats folks...that's the ticket.

Ok. I just spent 1.5 hrs searching for a thread I have seen before. I've used advanced search in about every way possible. If I don't get a "see" is too common a word, I get not founds or tons of unrelated threads. Just wanted to find "Let's see your toolbox"...I know it is out there. It...

I am about to pour a slab...my thinking was taking me to definitely not level, but for drainage out the big doors? I can't think of any downsides to that and no upside to level....appreciate your input on level or on purpose not...

There's a stem wall in the 60 yr old detached garage that I am converting to my workshop. Nothing about this place has ever been maintained, but I am very glad I have the stem wall because all of the old rough lumber/walls are still perfect... This is Arkansas where things rot.

That calf was stolen. I am sure. I was on a jury decades ago...in Arkansas...where teenagers stole a full size cow from an auction and were caught going down the road in a four door...cows head sticking out the window....

i call them stairways with wheels

sure we have sheds...that's where the lawn mower, garden tools, fertilizer, out grown bicycles, broken grills, and other junk we don't want in our shops. it's all in where you are standing...some name a garage something you park cars in, others what you work on cars in...I personally call what...
