As in the title. I'm looking for a label maker for heat shrink tube, and a source of adhesive lined 4-1 tube. Adhesive lined 3-1 if that's all there is. Thanks...

I picked these out of a dumpster. The are stainless steel and a specialized type of bolt. Rolled threads. Instead of square shoulder under the head, its oblong. What's the proper term for this bolt?

I was at a physio appointment in town Saturday. Around the corner is a Princess Auto... They were having a scratch and dent sale... C$600.00 for everything... I ended up buying 3 compressors of varying sizes, a 420cc gas engine, and a parts washer tank. The smallest compressor I was able to fix...

Driving down the road and saw this black slightly bigger than a football object by the ditch. Pulled a U and found this motor. Looks to be at least 5hp judging by size, but there is no markings other than 220V. Two capacitors inside. One reset button. Flange mounting, which I've never seen up...

I've tried loading single pics, and multiple pics off my android phone using the "attach files" button. Also tried the icon of the mountain with sun... nothing is working. I can load pics in other forums without problems. Is there a size limit? Something else I need to do?

I've noticed recently that the thumbnails in a post are coming up individually. It used to be that you could go forwards and backwards on a group of pics, but not anymore. It's a little extra clicking that is irritating when I'm used to something quicker. Has something changed on GJ or is it on...

I know about how to tell the difference between grade 2, 5, 8, and 12 bolts. But today I was sorting a pail of nuts by size and started wondering how they are marked or classified. I assume the gold colored ones are grade 8 but then I've seen gold colored bolts that were definitely not grade 8...

I got these in a tool box yard sale buy. What are they used for? Both have valves. Both fit my "m" style female coupler. One screws onto a standard tire air valve. The other fits one about 2x as big. I haven't seen a schrader valve big enough to screw the fitting on to, including fairly big...

I unboxed the Evolution Rage3 metal/everything 10" mitersaw yesterday. I bought it on sale for $229.00 +gst, ~ 1/2 regular price. I wouldn't pay full price for it. It seems to be OK for build quality but there are a few things that could have been done better. I needed a miter saw for metal and...

Recently, within the last few days, I can't get the back button to return me to my previous page. All the other forums I frequent are working. Help?

Picked up this home made oxy-acet. dolly for $20.00. There was this old scrap post drill bolted to the dolly. I can't wait to get rid of the drill press so I can see what kind of score I got on the dolly....

I already picked up some 40'x60' "Dr.Shrink" 12 mil poly for cheaper than a cheap tarp of the same size. I've watched several videos for boats and scaffolding on you tube. I have a good knowledge of using house wrap on new construction siding...it's what I do. I plan on building a 2x? frame...

I answered an ad for a shuffle board selling for $20.00, the main board is what I wanted. Looks like fir 132" x 18". While there the lady showed me some tools she was selling stored in the back yard. I bought a AMF DeWalt RAS, the shuffle board, and a lawnmower needing a tuneup for a total of...

Picked up my first long frame jack today. Paid C$50.00. There is no identifying marks and the only numbers I can find are on the saddle; B13606. It has a low of 4 3/4" and a high of 35". Any help identifying would be appreciated.

I'm wondering if I can use automotive fuses in a red-neck adapter. I've built a cord that plugs into my generators' 30amp/240v, and at the other end I have added several different ends so I can use different tools. I have a 50amp/240V welder outlet, a 30amp/240V outlet, and a couple 15amp/120V...

I bought a air heat gun to do some welding to repair tarps. I bought it knowing that the item was 10a/240V. I've done a little household wiring for 240V stoves and welders. But I have no knowledge of how the plugs on an EU device are wired. In the following pic, the top terminal has an "E"...

I recently bought a compressor that had been stolen from me several years ago. No I couldn't charge anyone as I had no proof. However the $50.00 I paid for it I would have paid as a reward for the return. Anyway, After putting on a new motor to replace the fubared one, fixing the compressor head...

I've always wanted a small shear to use for cutting aluminum sheet off coil stock. The other month I noticed an ad for just such an animal, it was priced at $350.00. Too much for me. A few days ago I noticed that the same ad had come down to $250.00. That meant to me that he was willing to...

This is my go-to Ford site that has a LOT of information, pretty much anything you need to know if you dig hard enough. Too bad it only goes back to 1997. https://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/topics/bodybuild.html After GJ, what one site is your go-to in your restoration or build?

A suggestion; On another forum they have the search button show a "your threads and posts" button option in the "search" menu. I find that so useful for when I can't remember the name of the thread I responded to 3 days ago, and want to check back in. Would you consider adding that option into...
