    Battery chargers are beginning to really tick me off. (Slight rant...)

    do not dumb down battery charging. lithium ion charging is nothing like lead acid, and simply applying 14v to a lithium ion or polymer pouch battery or an 18650 is derp to the max. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Am I crazy?

    you don't buy bulldozers, you rent them. if you can't get a bulldozer rent the biggest backhoe you can get. if you can't rent a big enough backhoe, then find someone who will grade your property flat for a good price.

    Am I crazy?

    In your neck of the woods, 120k would buy you a brand new house. come on. It should be painfully obvious that building a garage is about two steps ahead of where you are right now. The builders know this and that's why they are trying to bleed you of your money. I see this all the time in...

    Re: What to know when looking for a "Cold Cut Metal Saw" if you're just cutting 2 inch diameter and less tubing because all you're going to do is off road fabrication, then say so if you are making decisions based on poor equipment you were forced to use a decade ago, i don't feel...

    What to know when looking for a "Cold Cut Metal Saw"

    i'm in 100% agreement that if you can afford/find the cold saw of the size and power you need, cold saws are actually much nicer and faster to use than bandsaws. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Re: What to know when looking for a "Cold Cut Metal Saw" if you don't have hundred dollar bills falling out of your pockets when you walk around, drive a range rover, or own a machine shop, i would recommend a real-deal bandsaw way before any cold saw. cold...

    Anyone ever see a vise slide like this before?

    Definitely a break. If it was intentional, it would be a very bad idea. Basically, a break of that sort would reduce the max opening distance of the vise by as much as the break is long. It reduces the utility of the vise by a significant amount, considering that one of the advantages of large...

    Wilton blue paint color

    with respect, although verde green might be somewhat similar, it's not the closest color. Here are my two C1 vises right next to each other. one is original and another is verde green. they are not the same! the modern wilton color is bluer than verde green. as you can see, not the same. I...

    Are Vise Prices Getting Out of Hand?

    1. Tradesman jaws are not junk, full stop. Though it's not surprising that custom made, quenched and tempered steel jaws that you make are probably superior, given the time and effort you put in. 2. I am well aware of what sintered, hot pressed, and hot isostatically pressed construction is. 3...
