Mine is a newer model that was also missing the motor cover. I made a wooden box that holds a slide in 12x12 furnace filter that serves as the air intake for the DC. Not to filter the incoming air,...

Wet grinders like the Tormek are limited to 150 rpm so they don’t sling water.

Look at Baldor buffers. They have longer shafts than grinders and come in 1725 rpm plus other choices. They even come up once in a while on Craigslist. You won’t ever wear one out.

How many hours on it?

I’m interested to hear about the water. None of my tractors will let any water get past the filter. Too much water and they won’t start or would quit running.

I know nothing of that tractor but if it has not a tremendous amount of hours on it and a mechanical fuel pump, I would change the fuel pump. After checking the air intake to see if it's...

Slicks and could be argued if chisels or not, but not the biggest anyway. This is a bit of an unusual use and used cross grain. In fixing up this old dock, at this step the new deck had been put on...

I switched the ones in the rental house to these. They work with LED lights and no neutral needed.

Regardless of the hundreds of dollars you have invested in digital multimeters, it's good to...

We had a small group over and not a person understood the importance of protecting their night vision so they could see something. Some walked up with flashlights on, and some were even looking at...

The phones recorded some of it, but nothing like just standing there looking at the screen with the phone set on camera.

1969, if there is a white wire connected to one or more black wires in that ceiling box, one of those black wires is hot coming in. That white carries hot to the switch and the single black wire is...

Try a different multimeter.

What problem are you trying to solve?

Sounds like they’re trying to say it won’t cure if shaded from the Sun.

Probably cheaper somewhere else, but I didn't spend any time looking. Get SW to color each quart after dividing a gallon.

My Mother had a knee replacement at 92 and a hip replacement at 98. She got along fine with both of them and they lasted her until she left at 107. She said they were just worn out. She was never...

Did you hold your phone up on camera?

I had a boat business back in the 1980's that included repairing fiberglass and bulding sailboards using both epoxy and polyester resins. I had an oversized air conditioner that could cool the shop...

The sky is crystal clear for the first time since they've been active, but the Moon is still up so the sky is a little bit too light to see the Northern Lights with bare eyes. I've heard it said...

Don't feel bad. I never even noticed that section and never even knew what a blog is. Still don't, and don't really care.

Restaurant suppliers and fiberglass supply stores sell sleeves of wax free paper cups. Probably on eBay too.

Thanks....

Another note for those new to epoxy: When even opening the top of colloidal silica thickener containers, wear breathing protection. The stuff is Very fine and floats in the air. You...

One question: What is neat epoxy resin hardener? I just don't understand what that means.

edited to add: As a correction to my earlier comment on epoxy, I should add a little clarification. ...

My experience as well, Andy. I haven't found an end to epoxy shelf life yet.

I'll ad another note about a cleaner. I had a boat business back in the 1980's where I sold boats and worked on them....

Great post Kevin, but I pulled out this one quote to ask for a comment to see if you worded this as you intended.

" the marine epoxies I have used have essentially no shelf life"
