I just watched a bunch of his videos. That is a clever guy. Makes me wish I took French instead of Spanish in High School.

I have always used the blue, lever handle Lincolns. I have 1 with a flex tube but I use the rigid tube more. This is what they taught us. It always works for me. My Operating Engineers Apprenticeship held a class to teach how to grease equipment and how to check fluids. You'd be surprised how...

So can I use this with my solvent/degreaser of choice? Its $9.99 with a coupon from HF. I know its not an Iawata, but I guess I could use it paint most of the **** I build. Its always flat black anyway. Or would I be better off with the 1 above?

Hiball, you work fast. I had you in mind when I posted here. I'll use that info to google and see what I can find. Any suggestions on a rebuild kit or will I need to find the O-rings individually?

This is my first floor jack. It was given to me by a family friend and served me well for many years. Then it started to leak down/bleed off. So I put it aside and bought a newer jack and stands at Sam's Club. It has also done its job but sometimes i wish the old one worked. The saddle is...

A family friend (Joe) worked at a Ford dealership and the shop went on strike. The shop walked shortly after the owners son took over the dealership. He had been there longer than most of the guys. The union tried to work it out but the new owner wasn't negotiating at all. All the tech's boxes...

I want to do the same thing. I'm currently using a barrel stove in my shop. I'm sick of the lost space, mess and risk of fire and the possible insurance consequences. I was thinking about a double barrel stove in a 5x5 "shed". Durock or other concrete board on the inside. 2x4 (maybe steel...

Coiled and hung on a peg board.

I like it. I plan to build something similar. Especially after the 2 hours I spent welding in the garage last night. But last night was a maybe once a year experience. And it was bad luck that this "project" needed to be done in January or I would have done it with the doors and windows open...

This doesn't meet all your criteria but since this is GJ, harbor freight is always the answer. 4 camera DVR with remote capabilites $289 http://www.harborfreight.com/surveillance-dvr-with-4-cameras-and-mobile-monitoring-capabilities-68332.html

Innovate MTX-L will probably be my choice. I intend to use this setup on my '72 Chevy truck and friends other carb'ed vehicles. Most of these are SBC powered and already have headers and dual exhaust, so adding a bung or two won't be a big deal. Just trying to get more power and less raw fuel...

Yeah, The Innovate or AEM systems seem to be the best value. I'm just trying to get as cheap as I can. With a coupon code, the Bosch LSU4.2 can be had for under $50 from Advanced Auto, so I was wondering if I could get the other pieces "a la carte" and come in cheaper. Maybe I need to keep...

I've been looking at wideband O2 setups for tuning my junk and others. What are you guys using? Anybody built their own? I'm trying to get a functional meter that is portable so I can take it from one vehicle to another and just add a bung to vehicle I'm working on. So it doesn't need to be a...

Went to the store down the road from me. I tried to use my New Years Day 25% on the parts washer. It was on sale for $79. Cashier said coupon wasn't valid on that item. I told her "Its not any of the items listed on the coupon. Why is it not valid?" The manager said its already on sale so you...

Very cool. I need to build something similiar. What are the brackets you used at the flexible joints?

Make a "jumper" of sorts. A 6-50 90* receptacle mounted to your welder or cart with a short pigatil coming out with your choice of male plug on the end. 6-20 would be my choice. Then use the cord you make/buy to go from the welder to the wall. Then you don't have a ******* cord thats only good...

WOW I read all 24 pages in 1 sitting. That's a GJ record for me. It seems your health is better, hope it continues. I got very nervous when I read the "This is my last...." post. I love the Eco build and the Shorty. Please keep us up to date on them. And since this is the Garage Journal, put...

I worked at a glass shop for a few years after high school. I cut a bunch of flat plate glass and mirror. We used that same makita saw for cutting holes for outlets and light fixtures in bathroom mirrors. But never more than a few inches long and never attempted curved cuts. I also cut all...

The Ring Thing Don't have it, never tried it. Maybe a cool conversation piece. Would make a nice wedding ring.
