So, I'm doing a lot of metal work on my classic Mini hot rod, replacing a lot of panels due to rust - and that entails making a LOT of holes for plug welds. Enter my Harbor freight pneumatic air powered hole punch and flange tool, circa 1990. It's worked great all these years till I went to...

I know all the usual warnings about this material when stick, Mig, Tig or even brazing with flame.......but how about when spot welding? I'm wondering if the small concentrated heat spot and short duration is enough to not set off the fumes? Sure would save a lot of work not having to...

I have a hard time throwing away perfectly good stuff, this is a previously unopened jug of some kind of oil. I don't know what it is, jack oil? cutting oil? tapping oil? I've had it since 1990 (!) and never opened it so I'm guessing it's one of those types. The label is long gone and...

A friend is rebuilding a Honda D16Y8 Vtec, he's already had the head done (which was in great shape BTW) and I persuaded him that since the engine has about 200K on it, it might be a good time to go ahead and put some rings and bearings in it. Seemed like a good idea at the time..... There was...

Also, how do you use it? I googled it and I'm not sure what they said is right.....

In the old forum, when I opened the New Posts, on each thread I could go to the newest unread post by clicking a button on the end of the thread title, is there one for the new forum too? If so, where>

I've been using these for years, I use them up and throw them away as it would cost more to clean them than buy new ones. (I have a red safety can - they go in there till they go to the landfill) Lately the towels I've been getting - at least the red ones - have had a funny waxy feel to them...

My build will be almost the twin to this one: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=460683 Same size, same layout, same location behind the house so I was excited to see another build just like mine, however...... I've had 5 different builders over to bid it - the first one came...

I have what looks to be a transmission service kit made by Miller Tool Co of Detroit - at least that's what it looks like to me based on the variety of seal drivers and small bearing pullers, all of which look very specialized. I was hoping someone could identify this more accurately - this...

Can anyone explain why a 5 hp 240V compressor has to be hardwired - besides "It's code"? What I'm looking for is the rational behind the requirement? I'm not arguing the need or the code, I just wanna know the why?

Cleaning out my uncles old shop equipment, I'm having difficulty finding a value for some of the equipment I have left to sell. I'm hopeful that the guys here can lend a hand with your experience and expertise? I have 2 Mico electric pumps, one set up for a 55 gallon drum and one for a smaller...

I know it's a sort of prybar or spud, but what is the open end used for?

My uncle had his own shop for decades, starting in the 1920's working for his father, then later it was his up until the 70's. He passed away a while back and I've been helping my cousin clean out his old house which is full of stuff from when he closed his shop in the early 70's So, they were...

I'm in the process of planning for about a 25 X 25 addition to the back of my house, which will be my shop. It will have a roll up door between it and the existing garage and the garage will go back to having cars parked in it - especially the bride's car! The house was built in '64 and only...
