I've got a vintage Makita worm-drive that I believe has hypoid gears, and I think they're plastic too. Anyway, they were VERY explicit about NOT using the Skil (Only other worm-drive saw at the time.) lube. So, maybe double check what's what for your particular brand-model-year saw on their...

A couple of things: Maybe this thread should be in the fabrication area? I suspect some folks only go there vs. this main thread so you are missing some advice. I know the thread title is 'gluing aluminum', but, using staking (Or some other deformation of the base material.) on the back-side...

Here are some inspiring (I hope!) links for you (I just Googled "Ferrari egg crate grille restoration"): http://tomyang.net/cars/ferrari.html?http://tomyang.net/cars/grille.htm https://www.jefflilly.com/build-tips/egg-crate-grill/...

YETI started the 'super cooler' craze, I believe. https://www.amazon.com/YETI-Roadie-24-Cooler-Tan/dp/B0842BY628/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=small+yeti+cooler&qid=1600625909&sr=8-4 There are now a ton of knock-off / follow-on brands for a lot less money. You can start with that link and...

Out here code for garage ceilings with occupancy above is two layers of 5/8 drywall, plus a bunch of detail stuff around penetrations and such, all in the name of fire safety. I am also using rock-wool in my similar situation for both added fire safety and better sound suppression that...

I worked on a project recently and was surprised at how far non-aerospace bonding of aluminum has come. There are options that require much less prep and would probably work from a strength perspective. We had candidates in epoxy, urethane and acrylic that would all work for the project. I...

I have one of these from Longacre that I got a good deal on: http://www.longacreracing.com/products.aspx?itemid=2445&prodid=7267&pagetitle=QuickToe%e2%84%a2-Setting-Tool The one I have also accepts their camber/caster gauge so I feel like I can dial everything in that I need to. I made a few...

Here's a Google result that could help, including one that is just sheets of plywood leaning on the unit, so a sub-one-minute hack: https://bb-rv.com/how-to-quiet-a-generator/ Lots of other links with a simple search as there are a number of other groups that want similar results; campers, the...

Greetings BadgeZ28 I really do hear ya. only sheet rock seems improbable. They do ask to have one end stud mounted. Here's a link to the directions from Delta (Others are similar): https://media.deltafaucet.com/MandI/102831%20Rev%20C.pdf The text for the anchor install reads: WALL...

I just did some remodel work in my bathroom and decided to add some grab-handles while I was at it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all sorts of visually appealing options now exist, often tied to other elements like towel bars or even faucets. So, form and finishes are really broad...

My weather here in San Francisco isn't as extreme as you'll see, but I do have some really gnar fog all through the summer. This leads to lots of mold/moss/lichen/rot on my Western Red Cedar fence. So, given the same species, not in direct ground contact, where I have pressure treated, the...

I had to drill a bunch of larger holes for seismic work on my house and a big help was a shop-vac attachment to grab the dust. I used this one and loved it: https://www.dustlesstools.com/productdetails/D1900/DrillingShrouds.php Raising the bit frequently to get the dust out of the hole will...

You need a third option: "Lose or misplace them before they become dull." I don't do electrical all the time, and usually only after moving into a new old place. Invariably I can't find the strippers when I need them... Cheers, Jon

No doubt I am off on price but I would second the Fein recommendations. Three things about them stand out for me: 1) They are quiet. I find really loud noises fatiguing and or painful, so not having to put on ear-muffs / ear-plugs to use my shop vac is a big plus. 2) A bypass cooling...

I am looking at using self-levelling for a project and all of the brands state that the surface of their product is not meant to be the primary wear surface. It's as strong or stronger than the base concrete in compression, so applying tile or some other wear surface over it will work fine...

Strangely, possibly because my cameras are all mounted above eye level, people don't seem to notice them. When I mounted a new camera on the front of my place to watch the front yard I went ahead and painted it to match the wall behind it and it basically disappeared. Made me happy at least...

I am guessing folks will want a bit more info before they can answer your question: 1. Slab thickness? (Or total yards of concrete.) 2. Grade of concrete? (What PSI are you specifying?) 3. Reinforcement? (Type and pattern of rebar / wire / fiber. Who's placing it?) 4. Any out of the...

Mwaters: Sorry that I missed the fact that you had already brought sill-pans up. Oops. yeldogt: I am indeed that dreaded DIY guy that thinks he knows something because he saw it on Amazon... Thanks for the education. Cheers, Jon

I had never heard of 'sill pans' before last week when I read about them here. Here's an article about how to install one incorrectly, not that I couldn't screw it up on my own: https://www.jlconline.com/how-to/exteriors/3-common-sill-pan-mistakes-and-how-to-correct-them Anyway, seems like...

I bought a 5" Dewalt angle grinder a few years ago that had a skill-saw base and guard, with dust collection, that I could use for concrete & tile cutting (dry). It behaves just like a Skill-saw. That said, it won't do what you need to do since it can't cut all the way through. I also have...
