    Used a piece of serpentine belt for a mic mount on my backpack.

    Cool targets. I bought some of these self healing color changing targets and made some mounts. Works good when I take the kid out to plink. https://www.da-targets.com/products/4-inch-gong-shooting-targets?variant=44157352280255

    On a 'Yota project, I used the cleaner on the door hinges, heater control, door latches, plastic body clips, etc. Otherwise, I didn't have any other good way to get these pieces clean.

    It's a tiny fuse. I think the combination of trying to heat that much water and then run the piezo's create a fair bit of heat in the fuse. That is one reason I try and use pre-heated water to take some of the strain off the system. That, and Ace may not be open when I pop a fuse.

    I bought a big ultrasonic for cleaning snowmobile clutches. Since I don't have a fancy parts washer it does double duty. My MIL is kind of a coin collector and brought some coins over the had. Some were so nasty they didn't look like anything more than a metal plug out of a panel. This is the...

    Like a weight sensor in the seat to know it's him plus a combination of ignition power "on" and vehicle in "D"?

    You can either get aftermarket seat heaters online, or source ones for a 2003 F350 Lariat or above trim from Ford. They aren't that much difference in price but the element should match the seat foam pattern better. You'll need to do the wiring that way though. I did this in the back seats of...

    Mike, The seats turned out great. I ended up buying a commercial steamer a while back. I try to get my covers steamed so the wrinkles are minimized before they get installed. It also helps to fluff the foam as well.

    So the tank will be getting a vinegar soak, then rinse before refilling with fuel? Any concern about having "exposed" steel quickly corrode again? Or will you coat the inside when you do a tear down?

    I didn't want to assume his in-seam, you know how sensitive people are these days?

    I'm quite familiar with PNW green lumber. The mills are pretty specialized on what size logs they need to match the maximum output of their set dimensions though. Very few mills run a wide range of lumber output anymore. Looking at the lumber in your pictures, there doesn't appear to be too...

    Sure glad you built that so you can still knee-cap yourself even when it isn't in the business end of the truck. Should work good though.

    Do you have any idea where the majority of your building materials originate from, as it doesn't appear they are locally sourced?

    Looking good. But, with all the rain we have had in the PNW in the last 10 days, I can't fathom a flat roof.

    I've thought about installing those in the same fashion. My question, would it be better to use a threaded stud so that the threads extend out in front of the install tool and use a nut to pull the stud through to collapse the nut-sert instead of relying on the threads of the nut-sert? Maybe...

    Chains can leave marks on concrete surfaces, something picky people may not be excited about. Chains on the front either need v-bars, or diagonal cross links to aid in steering, "X's" are better yet. Regular ladder bars turn into skate runners when the tires are turned, especially without drive...
