    How to polish a steel shaft

    Big difference between taking 1/16" off the diameter of a 3" column and 1/16" off the diameter of a 1" shaft

    New trailer project

    The skin may be taped to the frame between the edges where it's screwed down. When I've bought sheets of aluminum it was painted white on one side and bare on the other.

    Laser line generator, not a level?

    I was gifted for Christmas a laser line thing from Walmart, hart brand. I asked for a laser level but the person didn't understand that this wasn't. ETA: I guess I forgot it is a bubble level with a laser.

    Back when I built houses in the mid90s, that's h how we built houses. Wall was pretty much complete before being stood up. Especially nice on the 2nd and 3rd stories.

    Secure your toolbox

    That was a factor in my choice of boxes, picking one with the grip latch style of drawers. I also tilt the boxes rearward so that if something like an earthquake happens the drawers will want to stay closed, even without the latches.

    Any good compact drill bit storage organizers?

    What sizes? If you are just keeping 1/16-1/2 in 1/16 increments, you may find something. But if you want one that holds 1/8, 5/32, 3/8, 7/16, and 5/8, that's a pretty specific ask. If you want something for specific sizes, you are probably better off 3d printing something. 1/4 hex bits all fit...

    Any good compact drill bit storage organizers?

    Not sure which box you have, but they are pretty crammed in the standard box as it is. Unless you want to go ziplock baggie, I don't see if getting more compact unless you find a way to shrink them down more like freeze drying! What box do you have them in now?

    VFD and 3-phase motor on drill press

    For power tapping on a vfd machine, just wire it to run in reverse with a toggle switch and have a push button to override that and run forward for the actual tapping itself as soon as you release the button to go forward the machine will reverse on its own
