Spray brand "Nuts Off" and silicone spray - LOTS of it.

My dad built an angle iron stand for the anvil to sit in. At the top, there is a square frame made of angle sized to receive the anvil base. Two holes to bolt it down. However, there is a wood pad cut to fit into the angle frame that the anvil actually sits on. Bolts go through the wood pieces...

I bet it's more than 20%. I have ended up doing a lot of writing at every job I've ever had, just because I'm capable.

I have had the best luck with bosch. I do have trouble sometimes with the keyless chucks, but have been able to get more life out of them by blowing the dirt out once in a while and squirting some lube in there. Makes them work like new.

I've actually used a 60" one before - with a cheater pipe on it.

Does anyone here know about electric motors? I have an old GE motor my dad used to use as a drum sander. I tore it down and got all the sawdust out of it. I can make it run, but it does have a possible problem with the starting part. Once it gets going it will run all day, but with some...

Well, I don't know - all mine are old. But, I have one that's a odd duck - it has the selector switch on the face of the head rather than on the back like most do. It's a standard length 3/8, so it gets used a lot too. I prefer the selector switch on the back.

Well, If your toenails are too much for the cheap china made clippers they sell nowadays, this could be the answer.

I keep two **** hounds which are extremely loud, and I built their run on the backside of my shop. They can smell something coming from a long way off. My shop also can't be driven up to because it's in the backyard, which is inconvenient lots of times, but makes it hard for someone to steal...

The Best of Craigslist has to be the funniest thing on the internet. :rocker:

Those greedy corporate bastards that make diesel engines, and parts for diesel engines moved a lot of manufacturing overseas because they were getting their asses soundly kicked in the global market. Mostly they partnered with emerging or existing companies already in place, and all of a sudden...

I've never been to China, but in Indonesia, they use any tool they can get their hands on.

Probably trying to point out that if anyone happens to throw some ammo at you, these glasses will protect you. :lol_hitti

I've got a older craftsman flaring tool set in a gray box I am more than likely going to part with soon. I'll never use it, but I got it along with all my dads old tools. I don't have any pics, but if you are still looking let me know and I will dig it out and snap some pictures of it.

It's loud as hell :beer: However, the stuffing it in a doghouse part should never be attempted again. Also static electricity is an enemy to you and a friend to garbage bags. One of my old neighbors up the road was cutting the end out of a big fuel tank - about 8 to 10 feet in diameter, and it...

True, and I have that happen to me all the time. I have a signal booster, and sometimes I need it hooked up, and other times I need to bypass it - all to keep my modem happy. My signal booster is isolated on the line that feeds my modem only. The problem at my house is that the signal strength...

All my stuff is pretty old...

I thought this thread was going to be about filling up a garbage bag with oxy-acetylene, stuffing it in an old doghouse and lighting it off with a fuse of toilet paper soaked in WD40. Anyway... don't do that either!

No funnels, no spill. For around the yard, these are the best things going. You can fill up a chain saw and not spill a drop. I keep several around here, because I live on the gulf coast and you never know when a nice gas can + chainsaw is going to become your most used tool set for a month or...

My weedeater does the same thing when I haven't ran it in a while. I can usually get it going by playing with the choke and throttle, and once I get it to rev, I run it wide open as much as possible. Sitting up is what kills it.
