Hello back, not been here too long myself. I'm also in virginia.

I have both the old style manual post hole diggers, and a gas powered auger. While i've used used the manual post hole diggers a few times, i've yet to use the auger. I've friends who've used augers, in in my presence. They don't appear to be an enormous amount of less work. It seems to me to be...

You should understand that taps and dies are cutting tools, and all cutting tools are consumables. Yes, a higher quality set will last longer than a cheap set, but all will dull with use. You don't have to get crazy on it. Irwin/Hansen, greenfield, etc.

I actually have a set of their knee pads. My knees have been shot a long time, too much concrete time back when work boots had no cushion. They are the only ones I could tolerate using, and i'd tried many. A good friend who had tried many also got a set. According to the website, you "won't cry"...

You ever hear of uline? They have a website, they are a commercial/industrial supplier. They have lots of shelving types, might be worth checking out. I know they should have some wall mount track with brackets systems.

I'm going to end up keeping Tapatalk, at least for now. Several of the forums using the browser on the tablet are just the fullscreen page shrunk to uselessness. So, i'll use them through Tapatalk. The rest, that work with mobile, I use the browser.

I do have a real wedding band, it was my fathers fathers band, resized to my ring finger. And, it was awhile before we got the tattoos, we got them the same day. My ring is safely stored away, my wife has worn her ring over her tattooed ring, until our 25th, where I gave her a new ring. No...

Well, that just *****.......

I thought I had put my location in my profile, I will check that. However, i'm in virginia, just a bit east and South of richmond. I highly doubt anything was put under the slab, I was not present when it was poured. I did seal the top. Moisture collects on most things, particularly metal ones...

You're most likely going to have to grab the inner end with something, and rotate it tighter, so it becomes loose inside the ring, and slide the ring off. Be careful, it's going to "spring" forth, likely violently. You could tape it beforehand, or after moving the ring enough to get room, then...

Well, with being a machinist 20+ yrs........ My wedding band is a tattoo, my wife has a matching one.....

Well, for a beginner, it looks real good. I've not tried weld straightening, but I did used to do flame straightening with an oxy acetelyne torch and water sprayer, mostly on boat drive shafts. There is some art to it, as you can go too far, and, you can only hit the same spot once or twice, at...

So then, how would I seal up my metal tube framed building to keep the humidity out, so I can use regular insulation?

Just a simple flourescent light, corded. The whole light is maybe 15" long, so it fits in reasonably tight places. Has a couple swivel hooks, so it can be hung on something. I also have a 12v drop light, watertight, that has about a 12'-15' cord with alligator clips, so I can hook it straight to...

You mean people wash their vehicles???

I'm in VA, and I have a metal building also. Humidity gets in mine pretty bad. Using roll up insulation isn't going to keep that out. The brother of a friend who has one sprayed in insulation, sealed it right up.

So, i've been reading this as replies get added, maybe i'm missing something. I'm sure someone here knows more about electric than I, but, if your work area is outside, and running any extension cords is a pita, aren't you talking about basically running an extension cord to the weld table? Not...

Do you have a micrometer, and know how to use it? You will need one to give the sizes of the reamers in particular, and it would best for the endmills, and all but any three flute counterbores. However, calipers will be good enough to compare the endmills actual size to the size stamped into the...

Well, a number of the endmills have clearly been modified for a specific job, a number appear to have been re-ground, many times, and some of them are pretty much toast, the ends have been burnt. Also, you have a number of chucking reamers, counterbores, both with and without pilots...

Since I ended up running a new circuit, I deleted the midair connection. One piece of wire directly from the breaker to the heater connection.
