got a question , at the volunteer warehouse in a storage room is a receptacle that is switched at the breaker panel , it's on a separate circuit. at one time we used it for the radio , to turn it on & off. . We have since had an outlet wired to the main lights that we use so it comes on with the...

like watching IC weld on You Tube, he's an amazing welder/fabricator . This has to be one of the scariest hitches I've ever seen

Does any one know off hand if porta power threads are common place? I'm talking the ram threads for accessories, not the hydraulic lines . I have the chain hooks both male & female but hoping to fab up a special puller "tang" for a job. That's if it can be done fairly easily . I have not...

No affiliation to Tom Lipton, other than I like his videos . He made a cool machinery jack in this video. might be of value to the GJ crowd

I acquired a typical 4x6 import bandsaw cutting portion only. it must have fallen as the base was not with it, and the belt & pulley cover was dented to all get SH** . it doesn't appear to have tons of use , it came from a wood stair building company so I'm guessing it was used for wood . I...

My 2023 GJSS @1320stang gifted me , among other things, a Dremel chuck . Apparently they aren't 100% universal . My Dremel is recently new to me, but a gently used older model, so I'm guessing that's where the difference is . When I installed the chuck on the tool , it would not close very...

never had a dremel , never thought I needed one before, but I found a nice used one @ Habitat a few weeks ago for $15 and thought, Why not... add it to my collection of stuff that will never get used.... WRONG. I've actually used it 3X so far & wonder how I would have done what I did without it...

I have an air hose reel like pictured, it's missing the crank handle & I plan on using it at the volunteer warehouse for running our pneumatic carton sealer . I plan on putting it up high on the wall so it's not in our way. that would make the winding up by hand impossible. So I am going to add...

this video popped up in my you tube feed this evening. a great video of machining a miniature jack. I ran it at 2x speed as there's no narration , just captions.

as the title states, curious why vises are measured by jaw width and not what the maximum jaw opening it will grip

just bought a heater as per title for some temp supplemental heat for an upcoming project . it has a typical 30 amp plug on it, with #12 cord . is 12 gauge ok for about a 20 foot run or do I need #10? hoping I can use some of my #12 if it's OK.

Took this project on to clean up a frozen solid spray foam gun Cleaned one up a few years ago, this is another . A buddy was tossing it,so of course Hoarder Cobbler had to take it. I'll probably give it back to him when I'm done with it . took it to pieces as it was solid cured foam inside...

Electrician Heath installs a generator transfer panel & he had the meter pulled .He's not touching the main breaker or anything ahead of it. all he's doing is rewiring some breakers basically. what they do for TV ... the way I see it .

I locally picked up a slightly used 240 heater today along with some cable and a receptacle . I actually have a use for both (individual projects) and it just happened I saw the listing for both at a real fair price . In the pictures I could see it was 10/3 and I thought, here is another...

As the title says, my cobbled up compressor. slowly going thru my pile of stuff that crapped out when I was working full time. plus my hoarder tendencies added to the piles the senco pc 1010 compressor tank leaked, and the jobmate motor crapped out . so in a ceremony with a welder, some copper...

Clean your darned adjustable wrenches, will yeah? or not! How many really nice good brand adjustables I've bought at Habitat or yard sales very inexpensively that are virtually inoperable because they are dirty as all get out. People figure they're worn out or whatever because they are so...
