    7/16 Quik Lok to 1/4 Quik Lok Adapter?

    Thanks - I was hoping to find something nested instead of stacked so it's shorter. The wall thickness will be ~0.090", but with the right heat treat, it's doable...

    7/16 Quik Lok to 1/4 Quik Lok Adapter?

    Has anyone found something like this in the last 8 years? The Whiteside product doesn't seem to exist anymore and the similar offerings (8020500, 8020375) are not the right size...

    Laser line generator, not a level?

    Thanks - I'll keep digging into these Line Generators. I'd like to find something that inherently projects both directions or somehow that I can make it do that without "tuning" too much. They all seem to be cylindrical in shape - if something were flat to start with, that might be easier...

    Laser line generator, not a level?

    Bumping this back up as I'm looking for something similar (but for a different purpose). I specifically do NOT want it to self level, I just want a plane projected either parallel or perpendicular to a surface. I have the typical construction laser levels from Bosch or Huepar that will "lock"...

    Any leads on a folding rule longer than 6’?

    Bumping this up - also looking for an 8' folding rule. Looks like the Lufkin X48 is no longer available. Looks like the 3 meter BMI is still available, but hoping for one with inches if possible and I like the sliding part of the Lufkin.

    How would you bend this aluminum iMac stand back to 90 degrees?

    Solid is good - Heat is your friend, I like the oven idea that vavet had followed by localized heating with a propane torch (or two if you've got them). Set the oven to 550F or as hot as it goes and don't dilly dally around once you pull it out of the oven, get it on the table next to the vice...

    How would you bend this aluminum iMac stand back to 90 degrees?

    Is that stand solid aluminum or is it hollow?

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    jblnut - I'd plan to replace that rim and/or expect it to crack again, not necessarily at the location of your repair. Welded up many like that for farmers and it'll get you through the harvest, but it will crack again. Some replace them before they crack again and keep them as a spare for...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    mikeGT4 - Check out Swain Tech for actual insulating coatings on exhaust manifolds/headers if that's your main focus. It's not the prettiest (white crinkle coating is the best way to describe it), but it works very well for thermal insulation.

    Iron On Patches

    1) I don't like to waste things that can otherwise be easily repaired 2) Typically what happens is the whole pair of pants is otherwise fine and there is a single hole or thin spot in a pocket, so I repair that and keep them in service. Then another hole somewhere else in a few months, so then...

    Iron On Patches

    MovingAlong - I have not tried that before, thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try and report back. The uniform laundering companies use something that works very well - I've removed some of the patches (like a name or company patch) from a shirt and was concerned about ripping the...

    Iron On Patches

    There are iron on adhesives that do last a long time as both PCustoms and I have mentioned. They are either sold in small sizes already on fabric or I can't find the adhesive used to use my own fabric and make larger sizes I reached out to Iron Patches and they do not offer larger sizes...

    Iron On Patches

    Some additional context - If a patch with adhesive and fabric is available in larger sizes, that's great. However I have plenty of fabric that I can apply adhesive to (like Heat-n-Bond) so either option is good. What usually happens is the material gets thin and then easily rips, or just wears...
