Is this supposed to be a joke? The correct reading is 3.34, as is noted previously on the chart - between 3.3 and 3.4. Nothing funny, so it fails twice, as humor and as education. Oops, late to the dance again. But, seriously, is it supposed to be funny?

Success! This would have happened sooner, but we just got the furnace replaced and MOAO forbade me to do any more plumbing until the inspector had been here. What finally worked was the compressed air I mentioned above It almost instantly started blowing air out the faucets (with guts...

Thanks, all 1: no stop valves, something I'll remedy if it comes to replacement. The only way to cut off water is at the main (street) valve. 2: no flex supply lines. 3/8 copper from the 1/2"copper incoming to the faucets -- another thing I'll remedy if it comes to that. 3: i tried a...

OK, it's in my house, not my garage, but hopefully one of you gurus will be able to help. It's a Kohler faucet set that probably dates back to the '50s. I've had to replace the cartridges, and remove the pop-up stopper (which we never used anyway) but otherwise worked fine until a couple of...

Yup, that's one of my four ADED tools.

Nut cracker?

How did you get the background to drop out like that? ...or are they stock photos you borrowed?

I have one, though its legs are longer - 4" outside. It's for drawing accurate cut lines on rectangular things like table legs. It could also be used as an angle transfer gauge, but the most acute angle it will fold to is about 85 degrees. Mine is marked SS-4. They both show up on the...

One tip on drying after your derusting treatment. Blow it dry - don't towel it or just set it out to air dry. I keep a cheapie HF compressor in the house right by my electrolysis setup and Evaporust bucket just for this purpose. Does wonders to prevent flash rusting, though of course if the...

Not sure, but the anvil looks a lot like my Peter Wright. Could the base be the same make?

Looks to be in generally good condition -- and with swivel base! I'd say you did very well indeed, especially if it's a 4 incher. One flaw I see, which may be a shadow, is right above the screw retention collar, where it looks like the dynamic jaw may have a crack running to the collar screw...

No, it's not a barbell. It's a dumbell, ya dumby!

How cool -- the top one is even dated November 11, 1932! .... oops .... never mind

Blade right vs blade left ... Porter Cable has the answer. The 743 or 843 - 7 1/4" sidewinder identical except they're mirror images of each other. MOAO complained about my right-bladed saw, so I got her the Porter lefty - problem solved -- and amazingly enough, the right and left versions...

You should be checking for weight distribution too, not just dimensions. Run it without the blade, see if it vibrates. if so, the lower wheel is out of balance. Add a stick-on auto wheel-weight to the wheel (bend it into a V so it will stay put and be centered) Run it - Vibration better or...

Way to go, Outlaw - you found one of the several dozen Vaughan bars I've lost over the decades!

I think the nozzles are like barbed wire - thousands of varieties, each tweaked just enough to get around all previous patents.

You ****. Peter Wright?? Really, really ****!!!

I feel your pain - luckily mine didn't require hack 'n slash, good as new many years later. Hope for a good outcome for you too!

You bore us. ;) Don't know if I can find it - a long time ago, in the days of film.
