Hi firebirdparts, Well I had time to get the current pic up on here. The back in the day pictures are too big to upload as is. I played around with resizing and got nowhere. I will admit that I am rather tired today. So what is the easiest way to resize pictures? I was using Paint which...

Ladies and gents, I thought I would finally start a thread of my own. I have been a member for a while and really enjoy the Garage Journal (GJ). I got here through the back door of the National Corvette Restorer's Society (NCRS). Terry (9C1) recommended I get on here after I posted some...

Hi Sean, Thanks for the posts on guitars and amplifiers, very interesting! In one of your posts you mentioned having trouble stripping Teflon wire. I work for Boeing on mostly the F-15. We use a ton of Teflon wire in our labs. You might try a stripper similar to this one...

Hi Sean, I got here by way of the Mid-Century Motto Mecca Makeover thread. Sakurma was right, you have talent! I especially like that you do it all in such a small garage. I can relate cuz mine is only 18’ by 18’. Like you, every time I add something I have to rearrange, get rid of...

Your shop is simply lovely Shopnut!!

Hi Mike, This is my first post on any of your threads. Congrats on your new mag drill! I think you will like it. There for a brief moment in time I had one tool that you didn’t. Oh well! I did buy the Rota-Cutters based on your recommendation and really like them. I am just getting into...

Wow, what an update! I liked all of it, especially the cart. That looks very handy!! Joe

Greg, I feel I may have derailed your thread. For that I apologize, back to your regularly scheduled programming! Joe

Hi Kevin, You are correct sir. It is a bar right next to a PTs (a strip joint) and another night club. Strip joints are not legal on the Missouri side here. They are all located in Illinois (East Saint Louis is just across the Mississippi from downtown St. Louis). Edit: I meant to mention...

Hi JB, I heard that the A-10 engine would stall when the gun was fired due to the smoke going in the intake. The fix was to put the engine in afterburner when the gun was in use. Joe

Hi Greg, Ouch!!! Thanks for posting that, I was blissfully unaware. What was the name of the storage facility? How far is it from, the, shall we say, Sauget entertainment industry? Joe

Hi, I realize this thread is kinda old but I thought I would post on it anyway. Where did you find that beauty? It really looks sweet!!! Did you find a capacitor for the motor? You might try posting a close up of the motor on here and OWWM to see if anyone has more info. And lastly I love...

Re: Rt.66 Part 11, The End Is Coming! Hi Thomas, That looks like a great trip! Joe

Hi Gregor, Well I hope the change I inspired is a good one for you! Joe

Gregor, I’m still enjoying the videos. I liked the rag trick and especially how to measure the distance between two holes precisely. I have two questions: In one of the last three episodes you mention a speed chuck for a drill press. I did a couple Google searches, there are a lot of...

Gregor, I’m diggin’ the YouTube videos! Strong work!!! Joe

Rest In Peace Harley. She was obviously a great cat and will be missed for a very long time! Hang in there Rian!

Poor kitty! Hang in there Rian. Best of luck with Harley. Prayers sent. Joe

Hi JB, That is a bummer!!! I had a similar experience due to having a flat tappet cam but not running oil with the proper amount of ZDDP. I can't remember what type of cam and oil you're using. I can provide more info if required. You probably know all this already though. Good luck and...

Looking great Lucky!!! You have inspired me to get some Gladiator cabs for my garage! Joe
