    Chain oil test

    rape seed oil ( canola) When it gets hot it changes( breaks down) then when it cools its like epoxy to get it off. additionally it does dry out to the same effect plus gumming up oil line and filters. if you are running saw everyday I suppose its ok but if you let sit for quite a while then...

    Picking up my new Dodge Ram today

    no way in he double hokey sticks I would take re- delivery of that unit. Every module and sensor array has likely been stressed to the max and then some. It will more than likely keep randomly blowing codes due to component failures . I am not a car mech. but I know electronic control...

    Crooked Knife?

    I make knives out of old circular saws every so often . The metal is a high chromium content. you can cut it and file it easily with hand tools but the least amount of heat generated say from drill bit or a grinder will make that area harder than a file. Even a carbide bit will not cut...
