    Restore / replace original decals on 1941 delta drill press?

    I am of the camp that believes you should do whatever pleases you. When I acquired a used drill press, I took it apart and thoroughly cleaned it and repainted the areas that I thought looked shabby. In my shop I like to have my equipment look well cared for. If you have a shop full of very old...

    The OKnife U1 Utility Folder

    It seems to me you are just a bit short of tail - which is probably true of most of us.

    The OKnife U1 Utility Folder

    Man, you should have talked to me first - you could have auctioned that as a GJ collectible and probably made enough to pay for the Chaves!

    That is a lot of work to make an offroad vehicle look like it has never been offroad! Nice job!

    If anything I said implied I thought you were wrong, that was unintentional. I appreciate your thoughts on how to check and if I have to take this apart again, I will try your suggestion. I have been really frustrated with the (my perception) incomplete specs available when trying to shop for a...

    And it keeps getting fuller and fuller - just like mine!

    Successful strategy for selling father’s lifetime of tools

    Sorry for your loss. I can't, with good conscious, vote on your poll as there are too many variables - effectiveness of various "for sale" venues in your area, how long you are prepared to spend on the dispersal, whether your priority is to disperse the items or maximize income, your knowledge...

    Difference between distilled and deionized water for auto use?

    De-ionization does not remove bacterial or organic contaminants. Could those contaminants react with antifreeze and cause a problem?

    The battery pack has a circuit board incorporated, opening the possibility that charge control is built into the pack - but if that is the case, why do the specs stipulate a lower charging voltage? If the charge control is built into the headphones, did that fail causing the original battery to...

    You caught me - I have a terrible habit of only clicking on pics that look interesting - that excludes charts. I also suffer from not remembering what I looked at several days ago. Whatever you do, will, I am sure, look great.

    I would be interested to know the outside diameter of the black wheels and the outside diameter of the tires on the black wheels you removed and the same dimensions on the gold wheels and tires. To my non-artist eyes, I don't think you need to lower the car, but just use tires with a taller...

    I am truly amazed at your artistry! In the US, a car painted like that would probably have about 26" deep dish wheels with 5% sidewall aspect ratio (exaggeration). I hope you don't go that way. I am anxiously awaiting your artistic replacement of the "cop car" wheels.

    Last weekend, I spent part of Saturday metal detecting. I usually hit school and park playgrounds. I was really surprised to find the following in an elementary school playground in a small town not far from here. A Huntsman Special 420 Stainless hunting knife about 2" deep in bark mulch...

    Quantity of outlets for 20x20 shop

    If the building is just for storage, the number of outlets proposed is fine. If you are a DIY hobbyist, you will find, over time, that the number of items you wish to have plugged in just keeps growing and the number of outlets becomes way too few. Examples - disk sander, workbench close up...

    What kind of tools have you found in the road??

    I have found a lot of tools over the years, including dozens of sockets. But, today was a first for me. While driving home, about half a mile from the house, I spotted the large socket on the edge of the road, so, of course, I circled back to pick it up. When I picked it up, I looked around...

    Yesterday, my replacement batteries (had to buy 2), for my Z-Lynk headphones arrived. I had to reverse the red and black leads at the plug and then install the new battery. Fortunately, my memory was correct on the orientation of the polarity on the plug since I had failed to take a picture...
