    Anyone have one of these?

    Source for metal ceiling panels?

    Menards is a midwest thing. The farthest east they go is Morgantown WV so the OP isn't going to have one locally

    I missed that they sold, looks like simplicity was the one that really got the shaft, MTD bought it.

    Generator inlet with interlock kit wire and breaker sizing anticipated loads

    There is no reason to worry about the breaker size in the panel as long as the wire size from the generator hookup receptacle and the receptacle itself is rated for the same or higher than the breaker. You could make it even larger if you so desire for larger future generators as long as the...

    The Everything 3D Printer Thread

    Pla is great to start out with and I guess if you only make farcical stuff it’s ok but pla degrades over time cracking and has little heat resistance, warping even in your car. PETG is so much more functional and if you keep it dry not much harder to print with. Lot of issues with PETG have...

    Old school residential HVAC tools

    I guess the one old school hvac tool I do have is a Dwyer flexible U tube manometer. The fan pitch tool is interesting, something I guess I would have never thought of being an issue till you described its use.

    Spin Flaring tools

    Blowing up the pictures the Spin ones do look a little different(little teats on the ends of the cheap ones) and maybe smoother? But would that matter? Still cheaper than a quality eccentric flaring tool and I suppose the main reason they are using them is speed. I wonder if wear is an...

    We used graphite rods to repair wallowed out drawbar holes. slip the rod in the hole, clamp it in place and weld. We used two old machinist clamps to hold the rod. One clamped onto the rod itself lightly and the other to clamp that clamp to the bottom of the drawbar...

    Recommend a wood finish for me

    Beautiful, I always loved how it makes mahogany pop as well as other darker woods like cherry and walnut. Doesn't do to bad on the white oak either.

    Spin Flaring tools

    Does anyone here use spin flaring tools? I went to a new customer yesterday and was hooking up gas. The HVAC guy was there both to commission the furnace and was still doing the install on the AC. He was using tool I hadn't seen before to do the flaring on the copper line set that sort of...

    Directional boring? Anyone DIY a conduit under a drive/road?

    Is it hard to press two buttons on single remote? You could also install an arch over the gates and run the wires in the arch?

    Looking for a quality benchtop mill

    The biggest problem with a round column mill is if you run out of quill travel and have to raise the head you have lost registration in X and Y in relation from the spindle to the table. making it either inaccurate or a pain to reestablish registration with a feature or hole on the part. We...

    Zero Turn Recommendations

    Gravely and ariens are essentially the same mowers built in the same factory. Gravely has made a lot of woods zero turns in the past as well. Ariens zenith = gravely proturn Ariens apex = gravely ZT HD Both brands of engines have been available but I think they are weaning of Kohler since...

    Is there a socket for this motor thru-bolt head?

    Why, they work better than any crescent wrench. Some times grip better than an open end wrench.

    Tire Plug kits

    I now use Tech permacure plugs as they vulcanize instead of just hoping the brown goo holds. I have had a few regular plugs get slow leaks over the years.

    Old school residential HVAC tools

    I was ready to say BS myself but there are active converters apparently. Good to learn something. Of course there is yet another battery to be dead when one needs it...
