    Dishwasher "belches"

    I had the same issue 15 years ago before I knew anything. Moving to option c removed it as the drain system is essentially air free once it starts.

    17th Annual GJ Secret Santa!

    My secret Santa was @Jawn. I was impressed he managed to get me something I already have but was considering upgrading. He and I have a similar interest in scouting and I received a single person hammock. I have a lot of random hammocks but I do not have a small /single/lightweight one that...

    What would one have to do to break a large USA cast iron vise???

    In the mid 90's My dad had a 5 inch "eagle" vise, not sure anything about it, Likely a sears special ~1975. My dad showed me when younger that you can use a vise to squish anything. Being 13 anything was now my brothers happy meal toy. Put it in the vise, tightened as much as I could then...

    Aluminum branch circuit wiring and device compatibility 1970s style

    The aluminum thing is real. My House was built in 1969, when I bought the house I was concerned about it. At the time of purchase all of the outlets had been "pig tailed" with standard red-wire nuts, with noalox squirted in them. They all appeared to be done by "someone who knew what they...

    Another compressor thread 10+ CFM no 40/50amp circuit

    It says in the spec 230v 14 amps, you should be good on your 240v 20 amp circuit. My 5hp harbor freight compressor pulls around 22 amps @240v. California Air Tools power consumption seems appropriate for what it is.

    16th Annual GJ Secret Santa!

    Thank you to my GJSS of technologyteacher. I received a handwritten card along with a 1/4 socket set, gloves, t shirt, and a usb printed engine that you can stash a usb stick in. I have not gotten a “new”socket set in a long time. I am looking forward to having an “inside” set that is not...

    Setting up Toolboxes for Children

    I have an old tool chest, mid 80's non ball bearing slide type of thing. All my "extra" tools go in there, Basically have 1 of all the cheap stuff screwdrivers/pliers/hammers. The goal is for them to have their own tools so they do not take yours. They will never break them. Also one of my...

    Box Cutter Update

    I agree with the one hand opening. So I took matters into my own hand. Put a simple 6x32 stainless cap screw here and it’s perfect just big enough to do work and small enough to not be annoying.

    Rockwool Installation in Ceiling

    I ran into a similar issue where by 24'' on center studs were like 24.5 on center, nothing would hold up. I Did something similar by wedging small slivers on one side, and it has not moved in 7 years. I do not have any "supports" underneath it the friction fit was and still is just fine.

    Have you ever wondered is a radiant barrier is worth it?

    We build some large sheds with the radiant barrier foil backing. It "kind of" works for insulation but not nearly as good as insulation. The downside is the wifi and cell signals inside the building are almost non-existent. When we build shed 3 without it it was significantly better for the...

    Plasma cutter and under-powered compressor

    I know on my cnc machine, the plasma does not get pissed off at me until I get below 45 psi (Forgot to turn on the plasma cutter). I always describe a plasma cutter as a 1/4 inch lightsaber that cuts through metal. I would not write off an air storage tank from harbor freight to get some more...
