    Generating 3 phase power with a small engine

    Seems like the mass of the rotating flywheel/rotating assembly would take care of that.

    Repairing a broken 6x6 in pole building

    Yeah, at first I thought it looked like oak, was scratching my head. Then I zoomed in & realized it wasn't part of the grain pattern

    Mower not getting enough fuel.

    Kubota BX? Mine just started doing this, & a search on a tractor fourm seemed to suggest rust from the fuel level sender clogging the fuel intake in the tank. But your solution seems to make more sense for the heat symptom.

    My first time trying electrolysis (large 4 post lift)

    Is this something from Breaking Bad? Seriously tho, you need to post more. 5 posts in 5 years aren't nearly enough from a guy with your kind of drive & enginuity. Thanks & keep us updated with the progress.

    Lubing sealed bearings

    I have a couple larger hypodermic needles with Zerk fittings on the other end made just for that. I use them occasionally, it would be hard to push grease thru a needle with just a syringe.

    I don't think so Skippy....

    Nice. Call the guy a ***** for thinking his family's vintage Snap On tool chest (with side box) might be worth $500. Why not pick on the Ebay dreamer in the ad that is looking for $2400 for a similar vintage taco cart. Maybe HIS father didn't recently pass away... Edit: For all you know the ad...

    Someone has to know something about this… anything

    But that's only half of the problem, because many the manufacturers no longer print catalogs or provide web pages with that kind of technical information anymore.

    PSA- Wedding ring safety

    Long time ago knew a guy had the same thing happen while jumping down from the cement truck he was driving. Except his finger stayed up top. When they called his wife to tell her he was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, her main concern was if he would be able to return to work...

    Is there an LED bulb that is "safe" for garage door openers?

    Price of osb way up!

    No, there is such a thing. I have a sheet of it now, along with a bunch of 7/16 scraps. Definitely different

    Material cost - what are you seeing on electrical?

    I just found a receipt where I returned a 250' roll of 12/2 nmb around the 1st of the year & was credited $63.**. Sure wish I kept it...

    Shop Basics - The Over Looked Items

    I would agree with this but add or substitute a roll of Pig Mat. This also makes a great workbench mat sometimes preferable to the butcher paper.

    Question about adhesives

    I agree with this, but the cost of the application gun is high. What about drilling a small hole & installing a sheet metal screw? Or some epoxy soaked foam behind the button. Once it sets, can't be depressed without tools, meanwhile it appears unmolested.
