I also save my 60 grit flap discs that are worn edged and smooth and finish them off by using them as surface prep wheels. Buying the good ones gets expensive but the up side is that they don't deteriorate like any of the cheap ones I've used. My grit discs effectively live two lives before...

The Master Appliance gas soldering iron is hands-down the best portable gas unit ever made. I've tried everything from Weller, Dremel and some brands I've never heard of that some shops outfitted with. They were all garbage but I wanted to give it a shot because I was familiar with their heat...

Solder 4ga wires and board level soldering and two complete different equipment requirements that are incompatible. That would be the equivalent of using a 20lb hammer for pins. You'll get it started and then destroy the project. I reality, 4ga wires aren't very well soldered without...

Thanks DSF, I just dropped it in the woodworking 101. The content may have been a little crude for that megathread. Some of the content I spot checked was everything from fine furniture making to restoration and some light stuff inbetween. I was leary of starting another thread since the...

Ha. Yeah, that's why I bought the el-cheapo HF cart. I figured I'd have paint, burns and all kinds of gashes on it in less than a year regardless. I wish I had a quick disconnect bucket. It would be really convenient to use a QD plate and just make up a skid for lifting.

This is something I knocked out last summer. I had several drop pieces of 1/4" plate following fab of my welding booth. I had planned a larger welding table but I ended up paying someone local to do the cutting for me. They hacked it all to heck and left me with a bunch of pieces that didn't...

That looks really nice. It looks like it would be easy to clean up a spill now. Let me ask; if you don't mind, how slick is that floor? I'm a bit ungraceful and tend to slide a lot. I was looking at the coin top from one of the snap-in floor type substrates to go over my concrete. It...

Sheet good and lumber mobile cart. Fairly new to the forum but I've got plenty of projects that I keep photos of. Lots of DIY stuff that I tinker with from welding to woodwork and lots of others that don't apply to this site (firearms, truck and motorcycle related). Since I balance all this...

Thanks drivesitfar. I started to do that last night with various step by step pics I took for friends and then lost my post somehow with some type of keyboard shortcut on the laptop. I guess I should have picked "lostmypost" as the profile name. Everythings in photobucket and sized so I can...

Been working in my shop all month with the nice cool and rainy Spring we're having. Probably a good time to introduce myself. I have a obsession with tinkering. I've been working on getting the wood side of my shop building organized and recently had to replace the cheap portable Craftsman...
