Can anyone tell me what the profile on the right is called? I had assumed it was a type of cove. I’ve had a few feet of this kicking around for quite a few years so no idea where I bought it but now I need more and no one seems to have this profile, they all have variations of the cove moulding...

Can anyone recommend an entry level hot plate for reflow and SMD soldering? I’ve been soldering for almost 50 years but this is something new to me so looking for advice. There are dozens on Amazon that all look identical then more for considerably more money. What’s important, what’s not...

Hopefully this helps someone else out.. I’ve had this butane soldering iron for well over 25 years and used it extensively but the tip gave up about 10 years ago and the SO man wanted as much for a tip as the iron cost so it’s been sitting in the drawer. Today I stumbled across the correct...

I've always wanted a tire machine and picked up a Coats 2020 recently. I'm and looking for some manuals and a Google search turns up the same few defunct links posted in numerous forums. I haven't changed a tire since trade school a couple decades ago and those were heavy equipment tires with...

I've had this ad pop up a number of times over the past year or so. Anyone ever tried these? Seems a little too much like late night TV car wax to be real. https://weldomatik.com/?fbclid=IwAR1AURUPaoLFdgAIeU3bcoV4w39ubUaveRfNZ2xWALeeWo88dXwdkHyVpGI

I’m sure someone can fill in some information on these screwdrivers that belonged to my Dad. I’ve looked around the internet and can’t find anything. I don’t know much about them except they seemed old when I was a kid in the 70s. I think they are made by Robertson and I know they are early...

This looks like about the best place to post this. I’m trying to repair an old Toledo scale and need about 2’ of this material. I’ve only found one source and it comes in 100’. Does anyone know of a source for this material?

Just wanted to double check something with some others. Doing some overdue pool maintenance and I have a lot of SS pool equipment screws that are covered with rust from what they were touching. They are all different sizes and lengths so it’s a pain to find replacements. They are stainless...

Going to tap into the wealth of experience here and ask if anyone can identify some concrete sealing powder i need to either use or dispose of. About 20 years ago my inlaws purchased and used this off white powder and mixed it with a liquid which they don't recall and put it on some exposed...

Two 5HP, single phase vintage engine lathes with 7' bed, 18" swing (28" with gap removed) in good condition. LOTS of tooling including turret and auto taper attachment. Also a large industrial bandsaw. Lathes are both made in Galt Que in the 1940s and 1950s. One R McDougall and one C.M.C...

Can't wait to see all the posts warning me of the terrible danger I will be for trying this but here goes... I've seen a few posts and an old thread or two where people discuss various lift designs either using some type of winch to make a jib crane or a garage door opener to move items to their...

Barely used with the original manual. Belonged to school district who tuned it up every year and never used it. Used it a few times, last time the drive stopped working - one way bearings on wheels have likely dried out and need to be cleaned and relubed. Bought it from the retired mechanic...

Been window shopping here for a while and finally got serious about planning the new shop. Moved last summer and left my shop behind. I did most of my planning stage drawings on graph paper because I found it a lot faster. Took some time but it's nice to see it in almost true life detail...
