    Big machining project today

    Well, not real big... I promised my neighbor I would fix her bird bath months ago but never got around to it. It is the crudest piece of cast iron junk I have ever seen. Not worth fixing and not a good way to clamp it to drill it either. But I was tired of it laying on my work bench. It was...

    When did you last use one of these?

    For me about 1991. I found this cleaning out some old drawers today. Last time I can remember using one was on my first house. Several basement window panes were cracked and I had no money. I found some windows with bigger panes in the trash and cut the glass to fit my frames and glazed them in...

    Thinking about a sky hook in my shop

    I plan to finally get the drywall hung in the ceiling of my shop this summer. Before I hang it I'd like to put a lifting point up there. The building has manufactured trusses - 2' on center. I would add a 10" LVL beam on each side of two of the trusses. Screw the beams to the W bracing in the...

    Getting back to the bathroom project.

    This shower curtain rod has confounded me for a long time. I just couldn't decide how to do it to make it strong enough and get it into the framing. So I contrived this over the past few days. First I had to make a form to bend the stainless steel tubing which worked pretty well. Then I...

    How many cylinders does this tractor have?

    I thought I knew my Fords but this fellow says this tractor is a 4 cylinder. So I will refer him to the experts here. What says the brain trust? Click the link for the thread on TT board. https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/threads/help-with-identification-ford-3000.1756084/

    New shop clock

    I've had this bronze worm wheel for 30 years. I bought it from the scrap dealer when I hauled some metal in. Never did find a use for it and it has been languishing in one of my storage trailers. I always just liked the thing and couldn't part with it.. I am cleaning things up around here...

    Another busted thing...

    I brought home this old South Bend lathe 3 weeks ago. It runs okay but was horribly filthy. My plan was to clean it up a bit, get it wired so someone could test run it here and sell it again. But... I had the forks tilted a little too much as I unloaded it and it slid into the fork frame and...

    Wrecked a pair of my favorite tools this week

    I hired a guy with a track hoe to move a couple of old semi trailers that had to go. He lifted the front and had to back them through some trees that had grown up around them. He tried using his own, brand new 'hi test' 3/8 chain from Fleet Farm and snapped it almost instantly. I have a pair of...

    Some musings about copper pipe

    I replumbed the entire house when I remodeled 12 years ago. Used type M copper pipe throughout. Some simple arithmetic shows that to get hot water to the kitchen sink - or to a 1/2 bath at that end of the house we are heating 10 lbs of copper pipe each time we wash our hands or rinse a cup. I...

    Nothing beats a great pair of legs...

    I've been following a few online auction sites this winter. Buying things and selling them on Craigslist. I aint getting rich but I'm having some fun and more than breaking even. Last week I hauled home an old arbor press. It had been abused but it still worked fine. I didnt need it so I put it...

    Ultra Pasteurization

    Came across this article on my morning feed. Normally I wouldn't have clicked but my wife likes half&half in her coffee and won't use ultra pasteurized. I found it informative. I hope it isn't political. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/curse-ultra-pasteurization

    Question about pallet racking.

    I've been looking for some pallet racking here. Like everything else there is a bit to learn about it. It seems here are lots of different brands of the stuff. Most of them are tear drop style. I get that the tear drop is how the horizontal beams attach to the uprights. Is the tear drop style...

    Bought a couple of tools yesterday

    At an estate sale. Did I ever tell you guys I've kinda had a jones for good clamps for 40 years? I picked up a 12" and two 9" Armstrongs, a 10" Wilton and some little Williams. Paid a bit too much but USA drop forged clamps don't show up every day. Gonna have to quit buying or make my clamp...

    Not a drywall tool

    I posted about this Greenerd when I bought it last summer. It was pretty grundgy. I wanted to clean it up but that's a good winter job for in the little heated office in my shop so I waited. I had a friend draw up a .DXF file that a CNC machine can read for a new daisy wheel and sent it to a...

    Drywall taping tools

    I finally got back to working on the 3rd bathroom that I framed, electrified and plumbed 5 years ago when we added on. There's still much to do - the shower isn't even started yet but some parts are a given and I know I can tape two of the walls and the ceiling now. Progress. I asked about...

    Sizing a gas line

    We have natural gas heat here. We're looking ahead to getting older here so I am adding all the hook-ups for a stackable washer/dryer in a closet on the first floor. Won't have to go down to the basement to do laundry then. I also want to size this for gas to the garage. Hope you can follow my...
