Thank you.

After several years of laying down welds by ear and muscle memory that may or may not land on the seam I was trying to weld I broke down and had my eye doctor write a prescription for dedicated welding glasses. The have a focal length of around 14 inches because that's a comfortable distance...

Thank you. If I get some time I'll post in there but it's going to be a pretty stark contrast with the really impressive stuff posted in that thread.

Thanks.

Thanks man.

I'm not much of a woodworker myself but I appreciate good craftsmanship and I'm looking forward to seeing what others post. I posted a short thread on what passes for woodwork in my shop just to get the section of the forum going. You can find that here -> A quick desk project

I'm not a good woodworker but I'm a pretty good husband so when my wife had to teach music on line from home during the pandemic I wanted to make the process as nice as possible for her. The foundation for a pleasant working space is a nice desk. I wanted to give her as much work surface as...

I actually own a $500.00 pencil. It's a Rotring 600 Trio and it is, as the name implies, a pencil and two pens. It was about $50 when I bought it and I'd never pay that kind of money for a new one but I've been using it daily for over 20 years.

I went with the pilot light solution for both the compressor and the phase converter.

Thanks all. I pulled the trigger on the 221. I sprung for the 25' torch and added the Pyrex kit. It should be here next Wednesday! I'll try and follow up with my impressions.

After roughly 25 years my trusty Miller Syncrowave 180 has decided to become un-trusty and is now acting up on the AC setting. It's outputting something that looks more like an EKG than a square wave. I haven't ruled out fixing it but there are so many inverter machines now with improved...

Most of the time when I travel in my truck I've got the race trailer attached so I have the toolbox and cabinet below full of tools and supplies. The rest of the time I figure any failure is going to require parts to repair and anyplace that sells parts also sells tools. Based on that I don't...

I don't thin I've ever sprayed Rustoleum but I've noticed when brushing and rolling that the different colors have dramatically different viscosities so I would expect to have to thin them different amounts.

A buddy of mine texted me that he'd dropped a 10mm socket down inside the engine he was working on. I sent him a link to the 100 piece set. He wasn't nearly as amused as I was...

That's just great. Now there's another tool I need that I didn't know I needed. Thanks a lot GJ.

I only ride on roads and have paired my took kit down to the cheap kit that came with the bike and a tire plug kit with a CO2 inflator. My thinking is that if I need to fix anything of any significance I'll need parts and anyplace that has parts also has tools.

I think you're over complicating this. If you use a typical solar setup with panels, a buffer battery and a charge controller you can connect an inverter to the load side of the controller and plug your mower's charger into the inverter. That'll just work. The controller will keep the...

Ah, I see it now. I was not reading carefully.

I'm not following this. Why should they have to warranty improperly installed parts?

I built my own heavy duty cabinets. See my shop build thread linked in my signature below.
