    Always a 'fun' day when you get to put on the extra layers

    Oops...mentally translated the M to a G... The spar adhesive curing system for my big Fairchild was about 60kW of microwave energy. Replaced a couple of huge autoclaves and reduced production time from tens of hours to less than a half hour. Took several years of concentrated research to...

    Sticker shock! No I didn’t buy.

    These predate the approvals for worm gear clamps for low pressure soft tube connections. There are a couple of styles of Adels using in my Fairchild, both cushioned and non cushioned. The cushion material can be a rubber or silicone based material, depending on service location and temp...

    Sticker shock! No I didn’t buy.

    Claymont: I could if I was only working on personal a/c. Customers get a little squirrelly when you approach their million+ dollar aircraft with hacked up tools.. Still trying to find a local Snap On guy that I can order from when I need things. Outside of some oddball stuff like this socket...

    Need to get in there and rewire part of it at least. I see one, maybe two wires with missing insulation.....

    Sticker shock! No I didn’t buy.

    AHCS1, used on Wittek Tower Clamps... They look sorta like a regular hose clamp, but use a thumb screw to tension the band in aircraft versions. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/iaMAAOSwLvVnmUpK/s-l1600.webp

    I'm 62 and my shop needs serious work.

    Weld a couple of 40' high cube containers end to end and set up for shooting with pcp air guns. Lights, air conditioning and a clever arrangement of remote controlled oscillating fans and you can simulate outdoor shooting pretty easy. It's inside, temp controlled and you can shoot 24/7 and ammo...

    Unidentifiable tool

    As PC and OMR said, countersinks. There are two distinct types...the ones with no extension are simply know as "chatterless" zero flute c'sinks and the others are piloted zero flute c'sinks. Those don't look to be in very good shape. I wouldn't use them if the c'sink was critical.

    Utility cart as a tool cart?

    We've got narrow and wide carts, some with the handles up, but most with the handles flat. I prefer the narrow, handle flat carts for most of my routine tasks, as I can get into places with it that the others won't go.

    What is this toolbox for?

    Looks like it was for film cassettes.

    I'm 62 and my shop needs serious work.

    Mueller 40x60x16 bolt up kit is about 35k$... Not sure what adding a bay or two would add to the cost. This is for a basic building with two door openings. Doors and insulation and windows are extra. Mueller has a location there in Amarillo.

    Attached garage fire, ugh

    We use these at work in the main plant for anything oily, or has uncured adhesive on it. https://www.justrite.com/09100-oily-waste-can-6-gallon-foot-operated-self-closing-cover-red?srsltid=AfmBOopqanrpko9zFCez-uq7sVot5Jx0CXrtotOoWSmJ59dBWtDXXNUm On the flight line we use vapor proof bags and...

    Attached garage fire, ugh

    Don't spend a lot of time on the tools as they are already rusting from the photos you shared. Have someone on another board doing the same thing and he's months into cleaning tools in attempts to salvage them. Depends on how much you value your time.....

    Utility cart as a tool cart?

    We use a couple of sizes of the RubberMaid style carts at work. Our tool boxes are large cabinets and have to remain plugged in for access and tool tracking. We typically grab a cart and a small tote and toss what we need in them and wheel them over to the airplane. They serve as tool benches...

    Sticker shock! No I didn’t buy.

    Got an oddball socket that I need. SO is one of two places that have it. SO has a 28$ shipping charge for a 20$ socket that weighs less than 2 ounces. Other company is out of stock for the foreseeable future...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Out on Quaker Road

    Might be worth looking at using some of those totes you get, or some old seed boxes and putting the 46% in there and then putting them on one of the short seed tenders with the auger.. You'd have to do your own bottom door on the totes though.

    Strange Motor Problem Instantly Trips Breaker When Plugged In

    Disconnect the load from the switch and try again. If it still trips, then probably a bad switch internally.
