I pulled the trigger on one of these today. Should get it in the next day or two. I'm building a 5.7m long stainless steel bench and it needs a decent vice.

You've watched Project Binky on Youtube right?

I made a clock for my workshop. Got a used brake disk from an Audi LMS race car and TIG'd on a hanging bracket on the back. I then sandblasted the rusty surfaces of the vanes (masked the rotor face with aluminum tape to retain the original burnished look) and hit the whole thing with a rattle...

Where did you buy them? Wondering if they might be fakes.

I've had good results from Diablo carbide tooth version. Swiss made and available from my local big box store (in Australia anyways).

That's interesting. It's been widely reported it was. It's NASA policy and say so on multiple NASA publications. Why is it being run in Imperial or is a combination of the two depending on the system? Also. I stumbled across this white paper. The Apollo 11 gudance.computer was programmed in...

The manufacturer. Say so on their website http://www.speedbleeder.com/install.htm So your argument is that once a great technological achievement is made you lock in and never change for the better? In that case we should thank the Egyptians and go back to the Cubit. Those pyriamids are damn...

FYI NASA's 2024 Moon Mission project is being run in metric. Things change, maybe it's time to move forward.

So I started this thread (read the first post) as there was a news article about a sink-hole in a highway - the size of the hole was measured in washing machines! This seemed a pretty arbitrary unit of measurement and seemed like a good analogy for the rest of the imperial system. (12 inches...

- Steel - washing machines. Why use 600mm when it a washing machine can be a new unit of measurement? - building products such as manmade boards and sheet products I would say automotive but that already converted to metric for the reasons of export and global compatibility.

Sweden changed the side of the road they drive on overnight in 1967!

That's funny on multiple levels.

I've got an M12 right angle and it's gotten me out of trouble a few times. But i doubt it has the grunt to drill a 3/4" hole with a spade bit well. I'll try it later today and let you know (I've got a bit of PEX plumbing to do myself).

I'm building a long workbench along a wall for a mechanics workshop. 600mm x 5700mm. 50x25mm RHSsSteel frame. Questions is what do I make the benchtop from? I'm thinking a 32mm MDF substrate and a 1.8mm stainless top (front edge folder over the MDF). Is this over kill? The entire top will...

I've always used the terms nutsert and rivnut interchangeably but y'all seem to indicate they are somehow different. Is there a difference?

I bought the set below a few weeks ago to do some suspension strut work. I thought the quality was excellent (and I own Snap On tools pretty much exclusively).

"The Pot" is such an awesome song though. Fan or not those riffs are fantastic.

What I like most about this thread that, with an important deadline and the need to get a sketch done fast, the first thing you did was post on Garage Journal:)

I'm putting an s54 into it in a few weeks!
