OK... . . . . . . now what? But seriously, folks, thanks to Hiball for providing the reference to Hydraulic Parts Supply - returned my call next day, had the right kit on my desk in 3 days! Now to proceed with the work.

Like that Bob Seger song ... workin on mysteries without any clues ... Post a few more and relieve the suspense!

I know I'm not the only clumsy one on this site - maybe the most clumsy, but not the only. Sharp square corners are a no-no in my shop!

This post really should be in the General Tool Discussion forum - look for a thread there by FrankLee- it covers these drill presses in great detail. Springs are often rated in pounds per inch. Get a postage scale, put it under the chuck and release all the quill lock/drag adjustments. Let...

Here's one of my KALs. Both are in the V-Groove pattern, Thorsen made (or maybe Thorsen licensed).

Or Blue Grass, Bluepoint, Caterpillar, Channellock, Dayton HWI, IBM, Kal, Powr-Kraft, Snap-On, Synthes, Troy-Bilt, Westcraft and Wilde. TRW is news to me - I have a TRW DOE, but it's not in the V-Groove pattern. If you have one, I'd sure like to lay hands on it!

Calling SEBER!! I tried to send a PM w/pix, but maybe messed up, so trying again in the open. I'm interested in a wrench-see photo. Please PM me THANX!

My problem with "improvements" in anything having to do with computers is they have ALWAYS caused something to quit working. Always. That is why I have resisted "upgrading" my office computer from XP. But, it's to the point now that some things I do online no longer work. Though it's not yet...

Not me! I still use it every day.

Do you have a router? If so, rout a 1/4" slot about 1" deep all around your plywood wherever it meets another piece of ply, and glue in a strip of 1/4" plywood. Instant T&G. Yes, it's fairly important because some of your joins will be across the joists and unsupported. Splines will greatly...

Fixed it for ya!:thumbup:

Once I had to take a 3-day course in all the stuff I already knew to keep my license (Communications Contractor). One of the questions asked of the class was whether it was ok to run communications wiring through the same hole in studs as the 120VAC Romex. My hand shot up. I asked, we're...

Looks to me like a hoof nipper, for trimming horse and cow hooves.

Thanks, NUTTSGT. I just sent the PM.

HOLY SIMOLEONS!! outofbounds IH breaker bar - post 184 -It sold for $153, and he had the gall to charge for shipping! :shocking:YOU ****!!:shocking:

ummm... auto-complete-bombed? Thorsen yes, but the only Thoreau I know of was into thinking, not making.

Wow indeed! Over fifty bux - stupid money ... umm ... then again, I have paid, well, maybe only dimwit money, for a rare addition to my collection, and hope to be able to do it again. Eye of the beholder, as is so much in life.:beer:

Another method of reproducing labels is to print them in reverse on clear film with a laser printer and glue them with clear glue on a piece of aluminum similar to the original. the advantage is it doesn't require any exotic equipment. Color laser printers are common these days and clear...

BlueBolt, I have two tractors that use those tires - the last I bought (3 years ago) weren't that pricey, but a loooong way from free!! I'd consider a mounted pair for $25 same as FREE!!! Oh, yeah, you do **** tremendously.

I have a hydraulic crimper for crimping various splices and connectors on wire - looks essentially identical to the HF example shown, but cost a lot less on epay. It came in a kit with a dozen or so different sizes of hex dies. I expect you could easily grind one of the small ones to crimp...
