    Buying a used skid steer

    If you have the ability what would be really sweet is to have a spare set. So if the set they have is worn out. Ask to keep those. Then you can use those more on the turf. Then see if they'll pitch in for a new set of knobbies for dirt work. Then you're just down to an extra set of rims. So if...

    How to accurately router shaker bit set

    In all seriousness with that type bit, the best may be to have a table for each and never move while making your pieces and extras.

    7018 AC rod and Lincoln Welder on oilfield pipe

    It should work fine I have done a lot of welding of similar material with a 225 buzzbox and AC7018. I would also suggest 7014 it runs very nice and easy to restart. 6011 is effective but not as pretty due to the fast freeze characteristics. I would suggest trying 1 pound of each and see what...

    Siga and Rockwool . . . worth the $?

    Elastomeric polyurethane caulk would be best as it will move with expansion and contraction.

    Siga and Rockwool . . . worth the $?

    This sounds like a nice build. As described that looks like a good system. The Tyvek will serve as the moisture and air barrier. Which should keep the bulk water out and minimize air movement. Assuming they tape the seems nicely on the tyvek itself. Then that should get the interior space air...

    Siga and Rockwool . . . worth the $?

    I always say don't get hung up on the insulation product itself. Even more important than what insulation product to select is making sure the air is still inside of the wall cavity. If you get the building sealed up tight. The insulation can do its job. If the insulation is installed properly...

    Which Saw would Work Best in this Situation?

    Use the material for something it is better suited for. Just buy red oak flooring if that is the look you want. Even if you were fortunate enough to rip enough material you are still going to need a powerful shaper to cut the tongue and groove on the edges. Not a fun task with red oak. Not to...

    Can installed horizontal Smartside trim be left unprotected through a number of months of snow and rain?

    It may swell a little here and there. But it'll dry out overall it'll be fine. I would just wait till the spring. Then you will have the weather and time to do it the way you want.

    Welder

    You may need to make an adapter or change the plug to go from the dryer to the welder. But that's not a big thing. Then you can be up in welding for a little over a hundred bucks and you don't have to rewire everything. It's not a perfect solution but it's pretty good one. And it's quick.

    Welder

    If you don't want to pull a new outlet. Just get a splitter and use the outlet on the dryer. And obviously don't run both units at the same time. Then run yourself an extension cord to where you're working.

    Wood Chisel Set

    Maybe just paint the top of the handle after a while you remember what color is what for each chisel then you can store them in the pouch with the sharp edge in.

    Insulating Shop 30 Years Later

    I agree with Bert, make sure all the low hanging fruit is done. Air seal all cracks. Fully insulated attic 45% of your heat loss right there. Insulated doors with good seals.

    SK 3670 Roto Ratchet - the new (and improved?) 3870

    At $60 in that hf style design I don't think they are going to sell many.

    Need a new Circular Saw, but what to get?

    Honestly you just need to go to the store and handle each of them. They all feel different and they'll have their pluses and minuses. I have Milwaukee and I have Makita corded ones. Both are good I prefer Milwaukee just a little bit on their circular saw. I think the tilt lock design is pretty...

    Craftsman V Series...

    Yeah I suppose there is no correct orientation if a person wants to be pedantic. I just find that on the Pittsburgh pro it's opposite of the direction and swing. And I find oftentimes you hit it and send the ratchet into the wrong direction which is super annoying. Whereas the v series and the...

    Craftsman V Series...

    Anyway, I purchased the soft grip flex head ratchet set with all three drive sizes. The ratchets are great. Have used them many times already. They compare favorably to the die hard soft grip ratchets. Both have the selection direction oriented correctly vs the hf ratchets.
