Where abouts do you live? I suppose using it in November your farther south. As my stuff sits from September till May...... it's a little different :P

Thanks! Yeah it's to hopefully slow them down while the inferred sensor on my alarm will go off and the cops will hopefully show up. I was robbed 2 years ago and know that there is now way to keep somebody from getting something if they really want it so it's just to give them something to do. :)

I use Kroil and/or CLP depending on the situation - I'm a gun guy tho and thats the only oil I have. If I need teflon then I use Triflow.

Scoutman - What plasma cutter do you use, I have a Hobart Airforce, I like it. All my equipment works great, I pull the spark plug and spray in some LMT pictured below also spray a bunch in the carb, then run the sparkplug through the wire brush on the bench grinder and then spray it down...

Here is what you have to look forward to :D Had to replace the Slipring today due to bearing failure.

Re: What did you do to your garage today? I did this at work, will that work for this thread :D I had to replace this slipring in a wind turbine today, the bearing failed :S EDIT: Wow I thought it said "what did you do IN your garage today" Whoops

First garage - OSB all the way!! First here is a little bit about myself - http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99168 I've posted a couple pictures in the "benches from scratch" thread but thought I'd make a post here. EDIT: I put in a new insulated garage door and the 3 walk...

Thats the model I use for my burst fire controller on my smoker, it routinly sees 1500watts

Both what I said except im using the same voltage on the field, and I should of given you specifics on how to ohm a motor. Sorry was in a hurry.

I'll tell you right now most wind turbines that are up now will have a hard time making more power than went into them, including steel, electronics, shipping, building and maintaining, etc. I work with some mitsubishi guys they use to like the job but now they have a hand scanner to clock in...

I've been to Sweetwater area many times. You will enjoy it, just learn at home about electronics, plc's, and just electricity and hydraulics in general. Do you have a company in mind?

I've been doing it for 4.5 years, I didnt go to school for it either. I use to travel and make over 6figures but the traveling isn't worth it if you have a family, I'll stick with 80grand and minimal travel. I can say however that everyone that comes out of "wind turbine school" I dont like...

I've made a few posts already but figured I'd post one here. I work on wind turbines for a living, for a hobby I do about everything you can except work on cars or bikes. I dont have any "toys" my toys are tools, and guns, hell I named my son after my favorite rifle. Anyways I'll be around here...

My intension isnt to fool or stop anyone, but slow them down. I have an infered sensor for our NEW house alarm system that is pointed at the bench, so hopefully it will keep them occupied until the cops show up. I lost 15,000$ worth of tools, reloading supplies, couple guns (lucky the expensive...

kindof, there are extra features but none of which are really worth the extra 25$ other than the looks.

I think the one I linked too was $45. 20 is for the single receptical version. Also it has a emf filter which is good for high end devices, even tho its probably just a ferrite ring, but better than nothing. I have all flourecent lights in my house so I actually have a rack mounted power...

Not really novelty at all actually. Maybe because I'm an electronics/electrician nerd, but I think it makes you realize how much power you really use, you can try out ur old fridge and then your new fridge, etc. Once you have one you will always wonder, hmmm how much power does this or that use...

As an electrian ill tell you to twist the same size solid wires together with linemans pliers then put on the correct size wire nuts. Your wires should look like the stripes of a candy cane all along the wires until you cant twist anymore when putting on wire nuts. Now when it comes to your...

I've been using killawatt products for about a year now and love them. I dont ever hear much about them so here is a link. It has to many features to list, hope you guys enjoy. http://www.p3international.com/products/consumer/p4330.html

We have the same type of motors in wind turbines. I would just ohm the windings. Ive hooked them up in the shop before but cant remember if u need the field (s1 s2) to be backwards to a1 & 2. I probably did it wrong the first time and it didnt hurt anything. So you can try a1 & s1 together on...
