I’ve got a Devilbiss 432 compressor, 80 gallon tank. It pops one of the PRVs between stages. I swapped PRVs and the same side pops. I believe it’s blowing back past the intake valve on second stage. The valve disc and the seat are in good shape (I polished them) my thought is that the spring...

Built a couple of jigs last night and cut out the segments for a compass rose, still need a bit of fine tuning before I get into the fancy woods. Planning to incorporate one in the deck of an S.U.P. I'm going to try building this winter, and maybe a Christmas present or two.

Looking for a suggestion, I have a wind instrument up the mast on my boat, very fine wires (looks like about 5 hairs in each, maybe #24 or #26) run down the mast and into the cabin where I need to break the wires to remove the mast for winter storage. Raymarine provides a nice little plastic box...

I have had large and small mitre lock bits for several years, and haven't used them except for a few times when they were new, and would like to use the small one on an upcoming project. I remember having all kinds of issues getting them set right, There's a balance between height and protrusion...

I guess it is fabrication, but not welding or machining, however, it did happen in the workshop. First photo is a batch of hard maple spatulas that I turned/bandsawed/sanded into shape, will be finished with a food safe oil finish, haven't decided which one yet. The second is a small cremation...

My workshop build is more or less complete, next step is to get some sort of security cameras and door alarms installed. I really am kinda lost here so I'll let you know where I'm starting from. Shop is about 250 ft from the house, have buried CAT6 cable from the house out to the shop and back...

Poured a 24 x 28 pad this fall with 3 loops of 300 ft 1/2 inch pex tubing., with 2 inches of styrofoam underneath and 2 inches around the perimeter, in southwest Ontario Canada. Things haven't quite gone as planned and I'm not building yet, which gives me time to evaluate options. What should I...

I've been saving and dreaming for several years, retired last summer, and decided I wasn't getting any younger. Time to pull the pin and get at it. I'm mostly a wood guy, have most everything necessary for my wood shop, in a buddy's shop for the last 20 years. We built his the summer following...

I'm rebuilding a DeVilBiss 2 stage 432 compressor, 5hp. 220 v, have ordered a Hayden 1290 trans oil cooler to aftercool the discharge air before the tank. I have 2 12v radiator fans, new, that I ordered for a different project. thinking about using one to cool the aftercooler, but am a bit...

Has anyone done any research on stress skin panel construction for a garage? Just spit-balling here but it sounds like a great idea, order your walls, pour the foundation, wait for the concrete to cure and stand the walls up. Of course there's wiring and exterior/interior finishing, but it...
