    Firewood rack. 4x4 or 2x4?

    Nice. This one I'm building is to store the wood to burn, as well as a privacy wall for the dog area. I just invested in a miter saw so I will probably builder a bigger one and replace the pallets in the back. Would be awesome to attempt a no hardware joinery like the Japanese buildings. Anyone...

    Propane tank size for kitchen stove (2 person, 95% cooking)

    Looking to go propane and new stove with LG 20K BTU burner stove. 2 person house, cook 95% of everything. Would like to avoid the annual membership fee which I think is for tanks and annual inspection of line and tank. I seems like 100lb tank may be good? As long as the tank is up to inspection...

    Firewood rack. 4x4 or 2x4?

    I just picked up some free 24" or so diameter logs of black locust. Never heard about it but I tried some and they lasted a long time! I want some more!

    Firewood rack. 4x4 or 2x4?

    Building a 1 row firewood rack. The base is 16" wide and 8ft long. It will have a small roof over it. Front post will be 6ft high and the rear will be lower to slant the roof (how much shorter?) I've been looking at designs, definitely overthinking it but also want it to look good because it...

    craftsman block grinder - is this original spacer?

    Anyone have a weiler wire wheel? I don't know if this is a fake 02325 or not, since pics show more wording, like made in usa. Purchased on amazon. Thoughts? Also it's rusting already? It's been sitting on my desk

    craftsman block grinder - is this original spacer?

    Yup, going to need to order at least 1flange for the inside. I want to get a flange with a collar so I don't need the nylon spacer to go from 5/8 to 1/2

    craftsman block grinder - is this original spacer?

    I got a Weiler. Read it as a reputable brand. What are the chances it's out of balance? Found an Etsy seller from Ukraine that makes flanges. They sell one with a sleeve so I you don't need to use the nylon washer. Going to ask for a flange with OD 55mm so it can fit inside that indent

    craftsman block grinder - is this original spacer?

    Yup, so looks like it's just the same piece as the exterior washer the nut goes against. I put that washer on the inside and it worked, but need a little more space between the body and wheel. Yup, got the nut already. That wash is the same size as the indent on the wheel, so it doesn't sit...

    craftsman block grinder - is this original spacer?

    Yea, I saw a pic of an old grinder when I was researching, and it looked like that piece. There is a hole with threads on it (only see on the inside where it meets the shaft, must have been welded over?) For what I think is a grub screw to hold it in place. Hmmm What would I be looking for to...

    craftsman block grinder - is this original spacer?

    Just picked up a 397.19340 1/2HP grinder. I purchased a Weiler 02325 6" wire wheel. It fits over the shaft but with the spacer, it sticks out past the body. Is this a aftermarket spacer? the norton wheel that was on it: NORTON 7 X 1/2 X 1-1/4 32A46-KVBE ME13717 TYPE 12 DISH WHEEL What are my...

    Drip edge and Fasica board- add a gap?

    The gutters are pretty close. Small gap between the drip edge and gutter. Slipped some flashing under it to test but it's so loose. Yea, the shingles dont hang 3/4", probably like 1/4". Was up there when it was raining. I could see the water seep between the shingles and drip edge. I would then...

    Drip edge and Fasica board- add a gap?

    This new to us house seems to be dripping water behind the gutter onto the fascia. I see wood expansion and paint removed. It's not all the water but seems to have been happening for awhile and over time, causing the soil below it sink, . Been doing some research and it sounds like a common...

    Mounting a 3k winch on workbench ideas

    good point! I will most likely only use to set the knots, but I should think about safety while Im at it too. I probably will do some stress tests. Maybe throw a heavy blanket over it for now. :)

    Mounting a 3k winch on workbench ideas

    got on the PC and drew a pic. Yes, with plywood on the bottom to keep it all together, and throw in some 2x8 cross members to connect the 2x8s. Yes, not a single 2x8 laying flat. I will be doing a similar situation as the video but only tensioning button knots, but not with so much force. May...

    Mounting a 3k winch on workbench ideas

    Maybe I've just been envisioning it for awhile and not proving enough info I need to mount a winch on a workbench that can pull 3000lbs. I should say it doesn't bolt onto the workbench but can be placed directly on the workbench. This 8-10ft long beam that sits on the workbench will have an...

    Ah never thought about the ballast bypass. Going to go that route when I get to it. That way all the hardwiring can stay!

    Mounting a 3k winch on workbench ideas

    I need to mount a winch that will pull 3000lb. It will be around 8-10ft long. On one end is the winch, on the other is an ancor to also support 3000lb. An i-beam would be nice but that's expensive and heavy. Im thinking 2×6s or 2x8s sandwiched together? What about a couple 2x8, 2x10, or 2x12...
