I used to have a sixty gallon upright husky that was loud. One day when it was running I found that a garden hose fit neatly into the little air intake opening. It was a piece about three feet long. The intake noise dropped significantly. I didn’t get around to doing any more testing it, but...

You could, preferably using an argon gas, not flux core. The overlapping tacks with cool down between the tacks will minimise distortion.

They make rubber test tube stoppers with a hole in them already. https://www.tinysciencelab.com.au/products/rubber-stopper-fitted-with-glass-tube

Your question reminded of this episode. This may be the adhesive for the drywall? https://www.greengluecompany.com/noiseproofing-products/compound

Your goal is admirable for sure I am all about learning new things too. What is the driving goal, the learning or having the cabinets? If it’s having the cabinets finding and buying some, then possible refinishing them would be a more viable option?

How about some west system epoxy encapsulation for the wood near the floor contact area? Works good for wooden boats….

Let’s not rush into things here lol

I recall reading that it took locktite a long time to come up with a breathable plastic material that allows oxygen to pass through it, so the half filled bottle is an alternate solution I guess.

Give the length of the workshop area, some type of curtain to close in the work area may help contain the noise. I also remember when I toured Graceland there was room that the walls and ceiling and floor were covered with a heavy **** carpet to counteract the noise haha

If you google flash rust inhibitor, you may find some products near you. This is only temporary though, not a substitute for a more permanent treatment. Regarding the black residue, I clean it off with a stainless steel tooth brush and rinse with water that works pretty well,

Missed this one earlier, but I like it!

Looks good. I would have had to buy that too. What do the switches do? I can’t read the data plate, how much HP? Cheers

I went in the Australian website. Took and passed the quiz. They never asked where to sent to the free sample to. I never knew about active metals before this, so I guess I still win.

Looks great, you’re never gonna want to leave when your finished!

I’ve had an idea for awhile that no doubt already exists. Ball bearing drawer sliders for the can holdingbpart part. Windshield wiper motor for the recip part. Toaster oven timer. Set it and forget it until you’re ready.

Nice, I think I’m going to try making nachos like this!

Looks great, more block time is in your future. It will be worth the extra effort for sure! I wouldn’t be able to not do it either.

Final update. Here are the results of two more days in the bath. I’m happy with the results, declaring this a win. Cleanup is a chore with some wire brushing needed to take of the black residue. Interesting the high carbon parts tend to generate more of the black gunk than the mild steel. I am...

Well 24 hours later… The rust is dissolving, but I thought I would spice up the bath, since the deeper rust pitting removal is slowing down. I followed the mixture ratio recommended by backyard ballistics, so that equates to 60 grams soda to 150 grams citric acid powder. This time I mixed them...
