Nice find, I have an old delta similar, the hand crank for the table is kinda of a trouble point, the get damaged from years of abuse. Nice looking belt guard. Looks like wrong motor pully so yeah a VFD would be a good answer. Look here for info http://www.vintagemachinery.org/

Not a licensed electrician but I have done more than a few building repairs. In the Chicago area, LOTS of exposed and unsupported BX. Supposed to be EMT. I think limits for exposed BX is like 36". I've found outlets daisy chained w/lamp cord behind the wall in more than one building. My...

I second the drawer organizers

Thanks VW, Got the drills been waiting for a decent full sized set to come along for a while.

I think that side handle feature is really a great idea, really see it as useful in some tight spaces. But I think at that price, I would just wouldn't want to scratch it, or worse yet set it down someplace, to have someone else pick it up. I wish them the best of luck.

I have a newer craftsman from Menards, and a USG. I like the USG much better. I got the side mounted locker, and am putting my coins in a jar ( It's gonna take a LONG time) to get the side mounted drawer cabinet. I like the availability of accessories I would like a charging station drawer, like...

I'm with oldmachinenut out in the yard, if it's summer in the pool. A few cocktails and sunglasses so my eyes don't get damaged from the big flash of light. Heck maybe even some Hawaiian Tropic, for a nice even bronze...

Myself, a fan of hardwired connections. I still think they are more secure. I would get some thin fiberglass fish sticks and spend a couple hours. Look for alternative paths. We have closets that line up vertically, also lots of gaps (usually) down the plumbing stink stack, maybe get you there...

I have feits 4' lights in my garage, got from Costco. They seem to be holding up well. I will no longer by the bulbs from Menards, or anyplace. I believe I've seen the 4' at Costco in the last couple weeks. I'm looking to change the lighting in laundry area.

Similar. I worked for myself, sound/access control/home automation.... There were times I would replace a speaker, or some such, and the customer would ***** about price of materials, that I had in my van. Honestly often times they could buy stuff online (gray market, no warranty) for about what...

I guess old age and a couple beers, got me confused, I stand corrected. I was thinking of these https://www.performancebike.com/park-tool-mlp1.2-master-link-pliers-mlp-1.2/p-fthrscscwqargqhe

For the most part, me. I suppose the above tool could be an industrial chain tool, it just looked a little flimsy for that. Since the wrench above it is a common bicycle wrench....

Bicycle chain link tool. Pull the chain together then slide in master link.

I'm reluctant to change my hand lotion. I use cornhuskers. It's cheap and works. I forget to use it until hands start getting rough. As someone else said many lotions seem to just sit on top and feel greasy.

SO now, back to the Trump... Did your brother have the original engine and other assorted goodies ? Did it ALL pass to the guy in Dayton, then you? Or did you have to source all the other parts? C'mon too many un-answered questions...

As I look at your heater, I also notice what looks like a lot of dust, and maybe fake logs? I would get rid of the fake logs, if possible, and clean out the dust from the heater...Just saying if you want to save money, you might be able to get the smells down and make use w/ what you got. I also...

I've done it in the past, but a bit of time consuming. just get a 12" or longer hammer bit, and drill out the around the area you want, go from the outside in, then drill a bunch of holes in the area you want to knock out. Then chisel out the area. I would get one of the least expensive SDS...

I love old popular mechanics, always amazes me how far away we have come from doing almost anything for our self. As a little side note, because our home is small we don't entertain in the winter very often. But when we do we always run some sort of exhaust fan/air circulation, it's amazing how...

I would just use wood and make some framing that would rest inside the beam flanges, maybe pressure treated if your concerned about moisture, I think I would be more concerned about that electrical, doesn't look very moisture resistant, I would use conduit and outdoor rated boxes with GFCI's...

Years ago a couple of guys I worked with would sit and strip the scrap wire at lunch. As I recall they drilled a hole in an aluminum block band sawed a slot up to the hole and inserted a utility razor into the slot and pulled the wire through, This was new wire and they had a block for each size...
