    Cool Tool Score!!! Dental Tools

    I was just at the dentist on friday for a cleaning and thought those would work great for picks and such, should've asked them about it, but i figured they just keep sterilizing and reusing until they are junk.

    Dear Garage Journal: Thank You!

    Rocket: I ran an 89 lincoln town car aka the landyacht for a few years as my road car. I changed the heater core so i feel your pain. Had to loosen or remove the entire dash, to slide the heater box out. Wasn't a terrible job but it was time consuming. I hate to admit this but i bypassed the...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Drives: Yeah it's missing the spring, but from talking to many others on different blacksmithing groups it seems to be a common thing, along with the mounting bracket missing. Most just make a spring to fit, which is what my plan is, i have a bunch of old leafs from different applications...

    pump "exhaust primer" operation inquiry

    Our antique fire engine at one of the companies i run with originally had an exhaust primer on it. It's a 1957 Gmc 450. We upgraded it to the new style electric primer a few years ago. Never heard much on how well it worked when younger/new.

    Propane or Acetylene Torch

    My experience is mostly limited to propane and propylene(mapp) gas. Since your only cutting and heating either of these should work fine for your application. I would recommend propane since it's much more readily available and the cheapest option. We run Propylene at work and i have propane...

    Am I wasting my time/money?

    Fish: Been there, tried that both ways. I went the electric route for my shop two years ago, at the time was a 24x26, insulated doors, block construction, no insulation on the walls. It worked pretty good, 5k heater, but it ran up the electric bill. Last year i ran propane 30-60k btu forced...
