    Question answered.

    What sort of clamp is this? It must hook on to something else, perhaps a bar clamp. Found in grand-dad's garage. What's it called?

    Found Out Something that I didn't know

    That's fascinating. Did not know this. Thanks for posting! (Sorry I have no experience with aluminum hoods or SS dipsticks to share).

    Lets see your SWAG bandsaw table set up

    On a rolling table next to a Coote belt grinder. Did you guys have to add TWO grub screws to get the saw vertical and stable? I did, see red arrows. Also: Do you release the tension lever when not in use? (Mine is released in this photo, which is why the blade looks bendy.) I release blade...

    That makes sense to me. If you're right handed, you hold a 2x4 with your left hand and cut on the right. So the waste is usually to the far right. So yes, if you needed to trim, the sole on a leftie would have only a tiny perch. Also, a left blade would be closer to your face than a right blade.

    [A joke video - removed] I don't own a single 9ah or 12ah so I'd have to buy the mower and both batteries, which means, $full price. Which, stated in another way, means I will continue using my corded mower and schlepping the cord back and forth. $900 is out of my comfort zone for a non-riding...

    I dunno, it's not 100% clear that it *is* actually running on 18V. The article implies that multple batteries may be used, so maybe it is 36V? I realize that's not 72V, but still... Quote: We can also see from the supplied photo that the mower seems to have room for (at least) two batteries...

    Is this a real thing? I've heard rumors of a Milwa lawnmower for some time, but is it now in the pipeline? And is it 18V? EDIT: Question retracted! https://www.protoolreviews.com/milwaukee-m18-fuel-self-propelled-lawn-mower/ Wow.

    How to get started with Milwaukee M18?

    Is that so! So the Craftsman cordless tools are just rebranded Dewalt?

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    That's a great idea...I've used BLO on cast iron surfaces, why not on a vise to keep it "natural" looking? By gum I'll do it and post up when the deed is done. Thanks for the pointer.

    Thank you sir. Can you recommend a paint that would look somewhat original and be a good choice?

    EDC Utility Blade… Again…

    I had to purchase this Fiskars Folding Ute knife, my curiosity was getting the better of me. It is seriously funky-town, and gets good reviews from some people. Nice fit and finish. Big, heavy, plastic-covered glob of metal in the hand (if you like that sort of thing). Seriously crazy...

    Testing health of cordless tool batteries?

    Of course, but: When a battery DOES fail within a short amount of time, I don't know how long ago I charged it. Short of keeping detailed records on charging dates, I was hoping there was some way to test battery health with a VOM.

    Testing health of cordless tool batteries?

    I'd like to cull my herd of cordless tool batteries that are low on capacity with age, but I don't have a good system to determine which are on their way out. Would charging a battery full, and then testing its resting voltage say...3 days later (or 7 or whatever...) work? I don't know how to...

    Shelf Life of a Compressor

    I see. Makes sense. This is my first pancake so I'll just get comfortable with the "use it in a decade" idea. Come to think of it, I didn't see an intake filter...
