    Making flat laminated glass windows, need advice.

    I have a couple pieces of equipment and they have lexan windows that have been scratched and faded to the point you can't see through them. I would like to replace them myself, but not sure if I should try laminated glass or stick with lexan? The local glass guy wants almost $2000 to replace...

    Low Profile Jacks, Snap On FJ200, good bad or ugly?

    I saw a bit of discussion on this jack in another thread, I was hoping to get current opinions. My dealer is getting 130 of them and will offer trade in on any jack towards the $499.95 price. Are they worth it or what? I was leaning towards the Milwaukee 4 ton jack, but I thought this may be...

    Need help finding some chrome moly tubing.

    I am looking for some 2" OD with 1/2" wall, not even sure if it is made, but I was asked to find some. I need a 20' long piece. Anyone have any sources? My supplier said that he found schedule 120, but could not find anything thicker. That was confusing, since apparently pipe is measured...

    I am looking for a hand knob that has male M10 x 1.0 threads

    Looks like there is no such thing as a fine thread hand knob unless outside the US. What size should I get to rethread? Anyone have a good source? I can find M10 x 1.5 but not 1.0???? I was thinking of buying a large size and running a die over it to make it what I want for threads, it...

    Through wall AC unit, mount high or low?

    I have 12'6" walls and I just bought a 28k BTU AC unit that will be mounted through the wall. Yes it is designed for this purpose. Would you mount it higher or lower? It was a wireless remote so I can control it without having to reach it.

    Help me setup my water system, no well, no city water, just a tank.

    I would love to have a well, but I can't justify the price they want to install one. I have a 325 gallon tote and I thought I had a shallow well pump (apparently it is dead), and I have a couple pressure tanks. My goal is to make a fairly compact movable unit that will allow me to have a tank...

    Any way to add that to the forum? I know I can click on "find all posts", but the way tapatalk has it setup would be sweet for when I am on the computer. I enjoy reading on my phone, but not posting.

    Should I get an add on clamp for my old fluke 88 or buy new Fluke 381?

    My Fluke 88 is close to 20 years old and I really wanted a clamp meter to do some troubleshooting. I am not 100% sure it can even use one with the older meter, but it seems like it should be able to. I have seen add on clamp meters for about $140. I have also looked at the Fluke 381 because...

    Transfer punches, what are you using?

    I am thinking that I need some transfer punches, looking for a decent set. What do you guys use? They will not be used all the time, so I don't need the best, but I would like the best bang for the buck. I think I will probably need metric and SAE ¼" up to maybe 1" Similar sizes for metric.

    Air hose reel for inert gasses, anyone ever done this?

    Just the reel, not the hose or fittings. I would be using the proper line and quick connect designed for the these gasses. I was wondering about this, I would like to use one for my welders. It seems like it would work, but I had not seen it done before.
