Need to cut several blanks 40 inch cut for each blank, for a project out of 2X8 SYP and thinking I will purchase a low dollar band saw. I notice they are rated 1/3, 1/2 HP and found a 1980's Craftsman 12 inch which says 1 HP on it. Saw is a bit rough and needs a upper guide. It is listed for...

Found some leveling ramps for the Roadtrek van conversion, on a 2002 Chevy 3500 cab&chassis. I ordered the levelers and they are 6 inch wide, my tire foot print is 8" wide. No way no how would I use a 6" block under a 8" tire and they do not offer a wider leveler. I am going to try to make...

The heavy duty plastic car ramps have a 6 1/2 inch lift, I need at least 8 inch to level my Roadtrek RV in the driveway. The cheaper metal ramps with an 8 inch lift do not appear to be strong enough for my RV, a converted Chevy express cab and chassis. So I am looking at a DIY wood ramp...

I am building a quiet box for my Honda EU2200 for the RV and now working on the exhaust baffle. The seal between the genset and baffle box (it is not a box yet, still working on it) is critical and needs to be as leak free as possible. Don't want hot exhaust air mixing with cooling air. The...

With an L5 error code and not much knowledge, finding little on the net, I was kinda dead in the water. I suspected it was the PC board, but could not verify a bad PC. I have 2 Daikin 9K btu 15 series units and thought why not swap the PC boards! It took a while to get around to doing it...

Starting my 3rd generator sound box for an RV. This will be a Honda EU2200i. I have learned a bit along the way and done endless web searchs. I have come across this silencer, baffle and despite hours on the net cannot figure out what is inside it or how it is designed. Anyone got any...

So I get caught up on projects and decide to straighten out my 9K Daikin shutting down and displaying an L5 fault code. 6th step is check with inverter analyzer, RSUK0917C. To my recollection I do not ever recall having an inverter analyzer, to the best of my knowledge I have never known...
