    Testing

    Checking to see if I got rid of the ******* naughty word sensor. I had to redo a couple things on this machine. ****

    Adjustable spectrum LED light?

    Looking for an adjustable spectrum grow light. Some plants require different colors during their growing time. Having the drivers separate from the bulb would be preferred, as to keep the heat away from the plants. Have been searching, and I know that "Kindled" has them, but I'd have to take out...

    Poll test icles

    May try German and Swede later. Looks like 10 is it. Probably not a perfect 10 No, you can't bang my wife.

    Vertical mill, VFD questions.

    Hi folks. I need some help with this. I have a Shizuoka ST-N mill. It requires 3 phase power and I have only single phase. I wired up and configured a VFD to it and there's no response from the machine at all. Not my first rodeo with a VFD, as I've been using one for the plasma table exhaust fan...

    Odura roofing panels

    Was at a party yesterday where the owner had this on his home and barn. Saw nothing on it anywhere here. Has anyone had any experience with it? Looking for something to put on this. The previous owner had some cheap tarp on it, and you can see how well that worked. I'd like to use this for some...

    "New" messages not new

    I like when you look at a list of threads and see the ones that you've participated in and it tells you that there are new messages. But it seem like if I haven't been to that thread for a while and click on it because it says "new", it starts out at the first message again. Is this a glitch or...

    Pet access door

    The son that lives in the apartment has a yellow Lab and a cat. They spend more time in the shop with me (especially the Lab) than they do at home. But they like to go back and forth at times, and you know how that can go. So I'm considering a pet door. Just leaving the door open isn't an...

    Tape measure end.

    Yes, another tape thread. But honestly, I've looked at several of the others with no info. Figured I would see what I needed on the "Quality tape measure" thread, but no mention of it. So, I don't need to have 40' of standout, but what I would like is for the damn thing to stay hooked on what...

    Why not LED?

    A building that's up in what was one of my fields finally has the floor poured (pretty) and now they're going gangbusters on the inside work. 136,000 sq ft with what I'm guessing 40' walls. I go and do my "noisy neighbor" inspection every Saturday morning on my way to get breakfast. There are a...

    Small angle grinder

    Shown in the pic is the grinder that I use for removing the dross (slag in plasma cutting) from a finished piece. It works fine, but I wish that it was a little smaller in diameter so I could get my hand all the way around it. So if you have a moment and you have one similar (corded) pull a tape...

    Rebuilding battery packs.

    Have any of you successfully rebuilt your cordless tool packs with new cells? Was wondering if it's cost effective. I see that there's a lot of packs available on Amazon, etc, but how does one know how good they are? What I'm specifically looking for is Dewalt 18V. I've got 3 of them that need...

    Inflatable paint booth

    While following some other links here, I came across this. Interesting to say the least. If you had enough width in your shop, you could put it in there and use it regardless of the weather. I wonder how many times you could inflate and deflate it before it wouldn't "flate" any more? Looks like...

    Drain discharge termination

    Has anyone seen anything like this for sale? I've got a pipe carrying downspout drainage going underneath a slab and it terminates on a small incline. Something like this would be perfect. But I've searched like hell and the only place I've found it so far is this company that I lifted the...

    Drilling glass insulators

    The type that were on the telephone/telegraph poles. I'd like to bore a hole in the center, and I was wondering if anyone here had any first hand knowledge? I'm sure that it being old glass has some bearing? Thanks!

    Small "warm box" for paint drying

    Does anyone with a larger shed use a small enclosure for drying/setting up paint/finish/glue on smaller projects, rather than heating up the whole building overnight? For example, I'm building an urn for my MIL, and it's 17"x10", and I was thinking that there has to be a better way. I'm out in...

    Klutch air reels

    I did a search, and one thread in this topic several months ago with only 7 replies. Nothing in any other topic. Northern has them on sale again, and I'm considering buying a couple. 3/8" x 50'. $79.99. Are there any more users that can give an opinion? Thanks!

    Garage Journal hot tip of the day.

    Decided to build a boat cover support for the kid's boat. The other **** is too flimsy. Anyway, I used 1" PVC, and heated it with a torch a little while it was being held with a cargo strap. Made 3 arches total. Got done heating them to where I thought they would hold their shape, and went to...

    Painting slatwall

    Has anyone painted the white slatwall a different color? I was wondering if I should prime it first? Blue is the color in mind. There's only a couple dollar difference between unpainted and white, so if I can skip a step, that's fine with me. That white is pretty slick feeling, so I'm...
