It happens to be a machine shop a large well known university. They produce mostly scientific equipment and appartaus. Time isn't really a factor as long as it isn't months to do. I have acess to most any machine tool you could want surface grinders various lathes from collet to large engine...

Ok so I'm taking the shop class at my place of work to learn what all machines we have and how they function etc. A little back ground I'm very hands on have worked as a machinist in a hydraulics shop for a year running mills and lathes and a bore welder. The shop is extremely well equipped...

Yeah my dad passed away in 2011 at the age of 49. I'm now 32 I would love to know what he is doing... I still miss him everyday.

Here is what seems like a smoking deal on a propress. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ridgid-CT-400-propress-tool-with-6-jaws-/251917300394?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aa770f2aa#ht_282wt_1362

I wouldn't buy him a set maybe some screw drivers to get him started etc. But I know that things I have had to work for mean more then things just handed to me. So maybe encourage him to mow lawns or something and pay for a least some of the tools if you want to help him buy quality tools.

That thing a awesome but really way to nice to use for almost anything. The guy is truly an artist.

When I lived in a house with a crawl space when it got really cold I would leave a facet or two just trickling to keep from freezing. But you should heat trace it and insulate for sure.

I have certainly smelled plenty of sprinkler water after people broke the lines or it froze and broke. I worked at big hotel that seemed every year we had some sprinkler issues wedding dresses hung on heads random frozen lines you name it.

Sign me up !

OH come on it's warehouse certainly it could a good soaking wash ! :shocking:

Yeah seems like looking a gifted horse in the mouth to offer something for free then I get to foot shipping !

Yeah good luck dude I have been looking for a while and they don't make them like they used to. I plan on looking for a good quality used set for a reasonable price.

It's a rc car tire lathe so can turn tires down to a standard diameter.

Different for sure should be interesting. I like the use of newer modular engine parts on the 300/6. What kind of fuel injection are you using to make it run ? I assume from the throttle body placement your going to run a intercooler not under the blower ?

Yeah for 80 bucks it is hard go wrong I would pull a plug on the tank see if it is rusty inside and ask if they ran an autodrain. I would take the belts off and check to so if compressor rotates buy hand if not walk away. You can buy a 5 hp single phase baldor compresor motor off ebay for 350...

Yes radiant is awesome and like said above it heats objects so the walls,floors,cars each it is very comfortable and a lot more even heat the forced air. You will need to do heat load calc to see if one unit is enough based on the outside temp insulation of the building and how warm you want to...

Have you checked your favorite local hydralics shop ? How about your local tractor supply I pretty sure aw32 is really common.

Man good looking setup. Just curious where in Colorado are ?

Curtis is a good compressor we have a ton of them at work in various buildings. No issues with normal maintance.

So I need to pull a bearing off a crank for my air compressor rebuild are the harbor freight gear pullers any good ? I know there cheap but I won't use them everyday.
