This is an old thread and I made due with what I had, that was a year ago. Incidentally, I ended up using round dowel in a lot of places because it bends in any direction and the Bigfoot being quite rounded has many spots where it curves in two directions at once.

Betchya haven’t seen this one… https://images.nasa.gov/details/S63-19319?fbclid=IwdGRleAS3wltwZG9mAWZkaWQWUJ9gpJChtet72sJN6NW4bbqUwcTcnmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR5AdjaUXKZGEOASqgMVHt8AdCerV25_Lhzpt_YD0i9V3BOpO25_Sc6nG-jttg_aem_81xy_BuK1DzMiLmTvjK4hw

I don't do much wood work but I found metal and bodywork makes far too much mess to be done where anything is stored or around my lift. I framed my shop with 8x8 openings so I could add on later and did just that a few years ago. I have a 32x16 (depth of the existing shop) addition that I can...

In a 1985 Bigfoot trailer. We’ve been using it for over a year now so not a big concern any more. Someone just resurrected the thread.

I don’t find anything suitable and moved on to other moulding dilemmas. The cove profiles I found all stuck out too far. Since it’s on the door walll in the very tiny bathroom you only see it sitting on the throne which I never use. So, basically I forgot all about it. I was proud of my...

The dielectric properties of dielectric grease are more relevant at high voltage and low current so it is quite useful on spark plug boots to prevent arcing. The dielectric properties have little impact on a high current connection where it will burn away from the current carrying surfaces and...

That is a spectacular writeup, not sure why it's never popped up for me in various searches I've done in the past. I have two clarke forklifts and 3 masts that I really just want to make into one good running unit and the little tidbits like the top end retaining keys in your writeup will help...

Never a bad thing to have a surge suppressor especially on a small source like a generator. I’ve seen a number of generators over the years fail and go to full field producing 2 or 3 times rated voltage if voltage regulator loses sensing. The suppressor will help protect your loads and will...

Really depends if the floor is for working in or for looks. Nothing wrong with a good looking shop, this site is full of great examples but they serve a different purpose than my shop.

I only used a densifier on my floor as I didn't want a coating that would get damaged and need repair from welding, mechanical work, dropping heavy items etc. Over the past 10 years or so I've done a huge amount of dirty, messy work, had oil, grease, hydraulic fluid etc all over it and it wipes...

I just finished a complete rebuild of a bigfoot fiberglass trailer and discovered this stuff part way through. I haven't found anything yet it doesn't stick together including rubber to steel painted with POR. Once it dries it is seriously stuck plus it sets up fast. Don't get it on your...

Thanks for the suggestion. I do need the cove to provide a relief for the welting and the angled edges provide a nice transition so it's exactly what I need. Fortunately the supplier I emailed got back to me with enough of that profile available to finish the project. It did surprise me...

Not recent but some time after 911 they wouldn’t let me on with a bare ended 28ga network cable used to tie into terminal strips. They said it had to have a connector to be allowed… I took out my terminating screwdriver, put a connector on, put my screwdriver back in my bag and they let me on...

This profile installed backwards covers the 45 and the old welting perfectly with a nice low profile. I was going to use the standard cove but it creates a larger bump out for lack of better description. I don’t have a photo right now unfortunately. I had gone to the major supplier for all...

I need about 32' so it's not something I can make myself. Unfortunately HD in Canada doesn't carry it and we don't have Menards here. I actually want to use it with the cove facing in on some corners on a Bigfoot trailer I'm restoring. The corners are about 45 degrees and have some rubber...

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...

Same for me, it rains too much here to do concrete work reliably in 3 seasons that aren’t summer. I built my stick frame shell and framed in an 8x8 door in the back corner which has become the breezeway to an addition of a dirty bay. Once you’re out of the weather you can use the space and...

I agree with the others who mentioned timing, I've seen this exact symptom on a number of small engines of various brands over the years. If you can find a service manual there should be some kind of check you can do with a multimeter while slowly turning the engine over with the plug removed.

I have a Mac set that looks identical I've had for about 30 years. They are good for fixing up damage on threads where a tap would just cut away the out of place material but that only works on fairly soft material, not grade 8 bolts. Over the years the thread files have been the best part of...

How much space is in front makes a big difference when it comes to backing an RV into a tight spot. If you have room to pull ahead and get lined up to the door the width is adequate but if, like me you don't have endless space in front you will find most of the extra width is used up with the...
