You're going to be the first person to walk the full 12 miles of the salt flats barefoot.

It did come with plenty of extra screws and nuts. I didn't have any issues with the door alignment, I was actually impressed by how well they did line up with each other and their fitment. There is a very good chance I am going to buy a second one at this point. If you were able to clamp the...

A week ago, my son bought his first car on his own, it's a slightly used 2022 KIA EV6 Wind. Apparently, the original owner didn't like the color and bought a different one. The kids have been looking at EVs for almost two years, six months ago I gave them my 93 Silverado and now it's their most...

Slip a metal putty knife or a piece of .016 stainless between the structure you want to cut and what you want to protect. Use the fluted side of a 1/8" pencil router in a high speed to cut the stiffener. This is a method utilized frequently to remove damaged aluminum structure (stringers and...

I recently started buying cases like this off of Amazon, they are relatively cheap and keep my PPE items clean. This one sits on top of the blast cabinet. The lid has room for additional filters and alcohol swabs to wipe it down occasionally. I have a couple smaller cases like this for safety...

It's definitely not for everyone and one of those things where I had no real need, but I could. As far as a Wi-Fi security camera, that would scare me, all I need is the stupid mistakes I make being recorded. :)

I ordered some smart plugs that came in yesterday, so last night I set them up in the shop. I went with these HS103P2 smart plugs in particular because I have had good luck with tp-link products in the past and they make Kasa products. I also chose to go with smart plugs versus outlets because...

Just a few things from the weekend. My mower has had a tire leaking since pretty much the week we got it. I battled with the mower place with no luck over it being a flaw in the tire versus a puncture. There is no way to really prove one way or another, all I know is its leaking from well up...

Thanks for the feedback, that was a fun project and hard for me to believe it was over 10 years ago. Thank you it's going to be so nice to not move three things to do one project, or to be able to walk away from something half complete if I need to. The best part is not needing to explain to...

Our farm was about six miles west of Gering, but I went to school in Mitchell. I worked for many years in at Brust Communications in Gering and my dad has lived there for over 20 years, just across the street from the high school.

My back was bothering me this weekend, so I didn't spend much time in the shop. I got through another five moving boxes of "stuff" and now I am down to five left to go through. I also made a bracket to mount my porta band to one of the columns under the loft. I didn't take any pictures of the...

With all the work I have been doing on in the shop, I haven't put any time or effort into the garage, so I decided to give the sink area some attention. The previous owner had installed a towel dispenser and a small soap dispenser. Unfortunately, the soap dispenser was broken and required using...

The move went well, I went through a bit of buyer's remorse in the beginning when I started coming across things I didn't like or knew I would need to fix. My last three houses were either brand new or less than a year old at purchase, this home was built in 1996 and has had some obvious former...

I haven't posted to this thread because my time for the last six months has been dedicated to moving and setting up my new shop. However, over the holidays I came across a good price on an assist handle that I had been looking at for years. I decided to go ahead and install it because it should...

I had some vacation days I needed to use up before the end of the year, so I got to spend some time working around the house and in the shop. The last items of my air compressor / air line project were to get an hour meter installed on the compressor and my work benches plumbed in. For the hour...

I was able to accomplish some more organizing this weekend. Clearing out areas allowed me to position and set up my blast cabinet and dust collector. After getting it connected, I replaced the 14CFM nozzle and jet I had purchased to so it would run on my old compressor with the original 27CFM...

I never put much thought to it being straight weight oil, that would explain the very high cold pressures. As far as detergent versus detergent free that would only really matter if there was gas and a combustion process. More to the point though i was being a bit satirical. My good friend has a...

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Tonight, I went out to check the pressure in the lines, it had dropped 4psi after 24 hours. Some day i might be bored enough to find that leak, today isn't that day. When the Eaton repairman was here last week fixing the leak on the tank bung, I asked...

I spent the last three days running the rapid air lines around my shop. I'm sure there are plenty of in-depth posts on installing these lines on the net so I'm not going to go there. What I will do is post some of my thoughts on using these kits. To straighten the lines, I used a PVC pipe, it...
