Nice updates Dan. I would disagree with not being picture-worthy though. As for the leak in your A/C system, I have seen more Schrader valve's causing leaking A/C systems lately than I care to admit, glad you were able to get it corrected.

Cody, I have a much, much older version of those clamps, but they are a just a squared, U-shaped piece of metal with a threaded fastener using a thumbscrew and the end that goes into the line has a rubber tip on it. Hard to explain, but I've had them for several decades and use them for brake...

Before cleaning up my fabrication area of all grinding debris and metal shavings, I thought I would replace the 12" disc on my combination belt/disc sander. I'm not sure how other people perform this task, but the area between the table and disc is quite tight and the instructions show to...

I was able to finish up the mount for my Asto paint shaker last night, no they're not for sale...... Materials cut to size and prepped for welding. Clamped in place on the fabrication table. I opted to MIG weld this because I haven't held the squirt gun in my hand for quite some time now...

Thank you for confirming my suspicions. I threaded the oiler onto mine, but haven't used it yet. I don't like how far it makes the connection hang off the mixer so I was thinking I would just add some oil to the fitting before each use, much like I do with all my other pneumatic tools. You...

I'm sorry Sterling, I haven't used the Atro paint shaker yet. I just purchased it a few weeks back before doing the paint touch-up on the wife's Acura, but I haven't gotten a chance to use it because the pint can fit in my shop made shaker and I didn't have a mount made yet. I have some...

Holy cow Jim. That is beautiful. :love: Woodworking is not my forte so I have to get a bit more creative using existing and trimming to mate, but I would love to have the abilities to completely redo the entire front of my coach's A/V cabinetry.

I still mostly use my old Jackson fixed shade helmet, but my son and wife bought me the Miller Elite auto helmet about 15 years or so ago. I used it only occasionally, especially when under chassis work because flipping the fixed shade helmet down was very cumbersome in tight spaces. A couple...

Last night I finished up the TV replacement in the coach and tidied up the area. While I had a mess in my fabrication area of the shop, I thought I would go ahead and fabricate a mount for the Astro paint shaker I purchased a bit ago so it would be ready for use next time I find myself...

Who knows, I may get some time over the winter.

That would be the one. They also recently opened another location at 7th and Washington Blvd. which we started to go to as it is slightly closer to the wife and I. My son and DIL frequent the one you referenced as it is closer to them, they recognize my grandson when they go in there and...

Nice setup Duke. Glad to see the update and that you're staying busy.

It would probably be at least #84 on the list Sterling. :ROFLMAO:

As stupid as it sounds, it is definitely a rewarding sound and sight to have the paint being shaken while I walk away to do something more productive. I am also certain the paint gets shaken more thoroughly by setting the timer and walking away vs. "thinking" I've shaken it for several minutes...

Thanks Cody. Only #84 on the list? So you should have it knocked out by next week? :bounce:

Mike, it's funny how much pleasure can come from such a simple device, especially a shop made one. :ROFLMAO:

Yeah, none of our commercial hydraulic presses have those bulbous ends either, they all just have straight shafts/pins. In reality a retaining pin being "bumped in" is probably less of a concern than one would expect.

Eric, that is similar to how I have the rods for my hydraulic press. I have no bulbous end on either side and just slip them in from the front up to flush with the front of the adjustable worktable/beam. I like the drawer to hold the press accessories, I just have mine on a side table that I...

The front TV in our coach doesn't like the Roku stick for some reason, so I opted to swap it for another 32" television from our bonus room that is a smart TV so it won't require the Roku. It turned out not to be a simple swap as the mounting between the two televisions is just different enough...

There is a really good Mexican restaurant here that is pretty authentic that the wife and I frequent called Javier's. My wife really likes their tamales and while I think they are pretty good for a restaurant, there are other things on their menu I prefer. Although I will on occasion sneak a...
