Here is a few pictures of the stock rod.

Geez guy's! All I want to do is get some help on learning how to draw up a connecting rod in MasterCAM and make them on a buddies CNC mill and maybe some pistons if possible. Some things I need to figure out is: Do I make the cap separate? Do I make the mating surfaces of the cap and rod need...

Thanks for all the replies people! I appreciate it. I have been to red power magazine and have talked to Murphy's motor service. I know Murphy's uses 4340 for rods. He wasn't to interested in sharing info and I don't blame him. It's his bread and butter. I have the tools to make my own so I...

Hey All! I think I got a new project I want to try. I have access to a Haas super mini mill CNC mill. I want to try and make pistons and connecting rods for my tractor. It's a Farmall 300 gas. I have a original rod to go by. The rod cap is angled. How much of the piston can I make on the CNC...

Glad to see another build going on. I'm about an hr east of you. I built in 06 and things can be different from township to township so you need to talk to your local building department, where you get your building permit, and they will tell you everything you need to know. That's exactly what...

But what are you guy's using to stop the blown in from falling down into the soffit?

I put aluminum checker plate on my walls 4' up from the floor all the way around my 36X40 shop. A buddy works at an aluminum rolling plant and you wouldn't believe me what I paid for it but I should be behind bars as I pretty much stole it! LOL!

I do have lots more pictures but they where taken with a 35mm and are in an album. I will look for some digital ones at home. I have some here but are too big to post. I have a full second floor in my barn which is 21 ft from that floor to the peak so overall, It's about 35 feet from the ground...

Ya there is but ultimatley it is your inspector is who you have to please. Inspection is not expensive and let them tell you what they want to see.

I'm only about 2 hrs east of you. I had to run #2 aluminum to feed my 100AMP subpanel as well. About 75 ft of it is inside 1 1/2" pvc conduit inside my house. My inspector told me what he wanted ahead of time and that is what I did. Come to find out the conduit he told me to use is not what is...

Me, I'm tighter than bark to a tree! LOL! It would have been cheaper in the long run (2-4 yrs) to have upgraded your main panel to 200 AMPs and run a circuit off of that to your building. You are spending $200-$500 a year for that second line/meter where you could have bought a new panel with a...

This is the barn/shop I built in 2006. It is 36'X72 with a shop that is 36'X40'. It's stick built which for me, was the way to go as I did all the work myself and then called on buddies and family to give me a hand on stuff that was too big for me to lift or move by myself. I wanted to insulate...

First! How big a service do you have in the house and is there enough room for another double pole breaker? I think you need to have at least two empty spots to meet code.

I got one for christmas and installed it over the holiday's. Super easy to install and the door makes more noise than the opener. Had a bit of a time getting the limits set so after 4 beers, I figured out that I had to take the plastic tab out of the remote in order for the remote to work! LOL...

Hey All! Got A chance to pick up a 3 year old Thermobile AT307 waste oil heater for about $1000 CDN. Has anybody heard of these heaters? Thanks, Sid

Hey All! Got a question. I was just given a used 1/2 or 1/4 HP Liftmaster chain drive opener. It came off of your typical 7' high by 9' wide sectional door or a similar size. I have two 10'X10' insulated Wayne Dalton sectional doors on my shop. Can I use this opener on my 10'X10's? I see that I...

If he has electric heat, he may need another service to the new shop. I have a 200 AMP service and ran 100 AMP out to a subpanel in my shop. I heat with wood or oil so I had enough power at my main panel to supply the shop. I would run aluminum from your main to a subpanel in your garage using...

That is EXACTLY what I used.! Not only do these door cutout's have the same or better R value, they are more rigid. I found that since they are more rigid, my floor never cracked. It's been poured for over a year now and no cracks anywhere. Another HUGE benefit is the price. My shop is 36X40 and...

Hey all! My wife like this style of light and wants to put one on the outside of the shop between the two 10X10 roll up doors. Any info on the type they are and where I could get some would be great...

Tell him to yank it out!!! That's not what you asked for. And like what v8garage said, make sure you are there when the pour is on.
