I just finished my aluminum deck railing and cut everything with my mitre saw with the carbide blade that was in it. Just cut slowly, you'll have no issues. bcd

I came up with one, GWG jean jackets with the slash pockets and snap buttons. I had a second hand one about 25yrs ago and it was getting a little ragged looking so my girlfriend and I, at the time (now wife) went into a jean store in the mall and asked about getting a new GWG jacket. His...

I had this same comment on here a couple of yrs ago. I gave it a good shake outside to get all the lose fibers blown out. It's a lot better and don't notice it so much anymore. BCD.

I gave up on a lot of my air tools, just too loud in the shop. I only one I still use in my 1/2 " impact when doing wheel nuts, and I'm going to replace it soon too. I use all electric or cordless. Something a buddy told me about a hand grinder he got is that it also runs in reverse, I can...

How do I keep the spring tension? Should I be quenching it after it's formed and still red hot? I should be paying more attention when I watch " forged in fire". BCD.

I want to make a custom spring out of a garage door spring for a project. If I heat it with my torch shape it to what I need and let it cool slowly. Will it still retain its spring tension? BCD. Thanks

I seen you can get A9 on amazon. 14$ for the small can. Free shipping. BCD.

I've been working with a lot of aluminum the last couple of days including tapping and tried 3 different tapping fluids and found the stuff in a green can called A9. This stuff is excellent and found it to be the best. I recommend it. And it has a nice smell too. BCD.

Always have. What else would one use? I find the arbor press is the best way, then you can feel the broach cutting the key way. If it's not cutting you will know it. BCD.

Got one of these couple of weeks ago, 6" ridgid with the pipe jaws and the pipe jaws aren't even missing. These don't ever come up for sale around here. Pretty excited to get it. Haven't weighed it but must be close to 200lbs. BCD

That going to be a fun interesting and a learning project, looks like you got it out of the weather in time. Keep us posted with pics. BCD.

Not sure the proper name of it but it turns the piston on a brake calliper when you press it back in. BCD.

I ran 3/4 "to each wall under the slab, I wish I would of ran 1" or even 1-1/4. Couple of 220v and couple of 120v circuits with grounds and the pipes full. I say go bigger BCD

Thanks Bert, I think I got one of the packages still around, going to see if it as an hrs rating written on it. I know I spend quite a bit of time in the shop but I don't think I'm close to 100,000 hrs in 4 yrs. May have to upgrade to new ones. BCD

Maybe it's just my eyesight getting worse but the shop lights don't seem as bright as they were when I first installed them. They are about 4 years old now. There are the round 4400 lumen ones with the round shade that thread into a regular lamp base. Anyone else notice this too...
