    This is genius.. OMT using utility knife blade

    I saw this awhile ago. Neat trick, but like joe mentions, video is to long. At first I thought he had to modify the blade to work, but then after watching for a while and then seeing him just put the blade in, I was like, it took you that long to convey that??

    Building with Reclaimed Heritage Brick (and Demolishing a House)

    As mentioned above, its very labor intensive. Plus you have to find out how much brick your going to need, with at least a 20% extra for breakage and what not. You almost have to take them down brick by brick. And depending on the type of brick, you might be sucessfull and not break many, or...

    So what’s the latest with Craftsman?

    Transformco is a holding company that was created by former Sears CEO Eddie Lampert to try and stem the bankruptcy tide hitting them. He only became former CEO when Sears Holding went into bankruptcy. It looks like you just got a standard email updating cetain policies.

    So what’s the latest with Craftsman?

    Honestly I think its to late for this brand. And its a shame. If the plant is up and running late 2020, then do not expect to see any tools untill 2021, or later (you really think they will recall and destroy current inventory? HA) Meanwhile Gearwrench is now competing with them, plus directly...

    Shortening truck frame question

    Z cuts and fish plates are the best way to go about it. Also if you can back gas the weld. Meaning have 2 welders, but one not running wire, only used for the gas. As one person is welding on say the outside, have the other running the torch head along the hot zone of the weld with shielding...

    Temporary car body stand ideas?

    Yours is in way better shape than my dad's was when he got it. Had to split the car in half and replace all the floor boards and the sills/rockers. Amazing how much time and money can go into a small car like that. Sorry OP, its not often you see these cars, had to comment. But as stated...

    Metal lathe

    I do not need a monster lathe. If I did, there is one not far from me for around $2500 that I would have already looked at. Not planning on turning anything to large.

    Metal lathe

    After posting the original post and sleeping on it, voltage does not really matter. Like I said, my walls are currently open, plus where I kinda think I want to put it there will be a 220 outlet anyway for a welder, might put two there so I do not have to unplug and plug when needed. As for...

    Metal lathe

    After going down the you tube rabbit hole many times watching others restore old tools and machinery and using a lathe and also having a few projects where a lathe would be handy, I have decided I want to look at purchasing an old lathe and giving it a go. My question are what should I be...

    Massive window job

    Re: Massive window jog Hardie plank siding is painted. AFAIK there is no manufactured colored product similar to Hardie that is colored all the way through. PVC you are also in the same boat as it needs to be painted Anderson does have a green colored composite window frame. They call it...

    I forgot how much I love Rain-X

    I have used RainX on all my vehicles for the past 25 years. I have been using RainX washer fluid for a long time. Love it. It helps keep wear and tear down on wipers as well since I do not have to use them all the time. When I worked at my neighbors body shop, we used to wax the customers...
