I spent half of today cleaning up after an old fire extinguisher blew up coating my garage in foam. In addition, it was sitting next to my nastiest, liquid, graphite-embedded grease which went everywhere as well. To make matters worse it happened while I was sleeping so everything dried up...

Hi all, We have a nearly-worthless classic old portaband that doesn't really work because the tires slip. It seems the modern tires are pretty cheap if we can find some that match, but I haven't found a source for our model. The wheel measures 7.21" in the valleys of the nubs. I'd need to know...

Hi all. I've started in on restoring one of these drill presses and thought I might document the process. You see a lot of these restored but not many documented. If you're interested, come along for the ride. I'm sure I'll have some questions as well. First video: Disassembly More...

Our Massey Ferguson backhoe that you can see in other videos needed some front end work (kingpin bushings mainly), but we figured while we had the steering cylinders off, we would rebuild them. Unfortunately a standard pin spanner wasn't up to the task. So I ended up having to make a special...

If you've been wanting one of those fancy carbide tipped metal cutting chop saws like the Dewalt DW872, there might be a cheaper alternative. I'm not recommending anyone make this, but if you have lots of time, little money, and don't mind a slightly dangerous and inferior tool, this may be just...
