    Garage Etiquette

    I'm in the "don't let them in your garage" crowd. Sure you might miss the opportunity to talk shop with someone respectful and like minded but the potential risks outweigh the rewards in my dealings.

    Should I get a small band saw, or hand plasma for shop use?

    Yes, Tungsten Carbide. The 'consumables' are noticeably more expensive, but also become less 'consumable' as a result.

    New SK Teardrop Ratchets

    Just got off the phone with SK in regards to the other models/drive size. They couldn't give me a date of availability, but said I should expect them to be available closer to the holiday season.

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Yes that has everything to do with it. As that's exactly what toughness is describing; the ability to withstand those sorts of impacts. The powder coating is less likely to chip compared to traditional paint because it is tougher. Not to mention it's superior resistance to chemicals. And yes...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Sorry, not true. Powder coating is far tougher than wet paint. The problem with powder coating something like a vise is the patience associated with letting a one hundred pound cast iron vise come up to the specified temperature and then properly maintaining that temperature. Over-curing or...

    What is the purpose of this on my air compressor?

    ;) Yes it would be my biggest you **** award yet, thanks! Euphemisms are words used to soften a saying or phrase, and dysphemisms are the opposite. e.g. "he took that mans money." "he taxed that man." euphemism "he stole from that man." dysphemism

    What is the purpose of this on my air compressor?

    What is the purpose of this on my air compressor?

    I stole this air compressor a few weeks ago. After going over it, I can't figure out what the purpose of this square stock welded to the pulley cover is? it's brand new except for two tanks of gas so i know it's stock from the factory. Any ideas?

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    I recall someone mentioning baking their vises in an over after painting. I have a few questions about the process before I try it. I've never had satisfying results from paint so I'd like to give this method a try. Is this specific to a certain type of paint? Number of coats? Time between...
