I enjoy posting to old threads and keeping the convo in that thread. Numerous threads with the same subject are more cumbersome.

Really nice lines on that house, including the drive and walkways and use of concrete. The blend of modern influences with traditional American style is subtle. Looks like a great use of that hillside and site. A Gropius inspired house is a treasure.

I carried a 111B for 30 days while backpacking in the Talkeetna Mountains of Alaska, and again for an equally long trip in Wyoming's Wind River Range. It was vintage then, and heavy, but a reliable workhorse.

You solution is here: And here: Get some adapters and use whatever battery platform you prefer.

BikeRider, You need some corded angle grinders for the work you describe. Wire wheels on drills are orders of magnitude less efficient than wire wheels on a 4.5” corded grinder. It’s like using a squirt gun compared to a pressure washer. Get your first grinder and you will soon have 5, each...

Chillngton Tool Works version from 1940, just cleaned up with a wire wheel on the angle grinder and wiped with Ballistol. Was just using them to cut wire fencing.

Just picked this T-5893 up today for a quarter. Who made the ones with the B in the circle? Barcalo?

Was that in Bakersfield about 10 years ago? I used to drive by the site where a similar fatality happen. Enormous tension on those big tanks. My condolences.

Thanks for the tip! I need to get some of those!

Good eye fasteddie!

Sorry JTD, didn’t know there was a hacksaw thread. JRC3, Love the simplicity of the rebar saw! As for my saw, I’m guessing one of the threads threads must be lefty to allow the length to expand/contract, otherwise the center pipe would just be moving and not affect the overall length. It’s...

Or do you have one like it? My guess is some resourceful person made it, perhaps low on cash or just for fun or perhaps for a shop class?

Curious, what’s the purpose of the offset?

SC Johnson’s paste wax. Post Apocalyptic Inventor is a fan of Ballistol, which is a vintage German gun oil, basically mineral oil with a licorice smell.

C1504, amazing ad! If I had read those chapter headings today, I’d want to buy the set right now. And financing with $1 down and $1/month for 5 months! I paid $75 for my set of 4, which is a steal considering $6 in 1938 is worth $108.53 today.

Found on the shelf at a local used bookstore, could not resist: BMW, fine selection presented in your first post!

Thanks. I’ll be using that Idea! Is there a smaller diameter washer on the floor side of the bolt in the recessed area too? Or just the one on top?

Can you please post a pic of the opposite side of the hockey puck feet so I can see how the bolt is attached/fixed through it. Thanks!
