    So what did you do today?

    I've seen some angle iron used to span the box and then a handful of bar clamps on the ends of the angle iron, pull a couple of tool cabinets back fairly well.

    Charcoal grilling info

    Grab the big hair dryer and hit the charcoal. Just don't get it dirty!! Back when those little Hibachis were everywhere (late 70's) I showed a friend that hair dryer trick. Drawback was He had a habit of just hanging the dryer over the railing and forgetting it. I got stink eyed pretty good...

    Calling Out The Internet BS

    Spent a few months in a metal furniture shop. Most material went through a wet sander. Basically a conveyor belt running underneath a vertical belt sander. Recirculating coolant and the belt contact was where the belt goes around the roller. Not against a flat platen like freehand stuff...

    The official OPE daycare thread

    On the ST80 & ST100 trimmers. Homelite ran the ignition kill circuit through the throttle cable core and the handle/fuel tank.. ...and that little brace at the rear of the powerhead. People were bad to put a foot on the back of the unit when cranking them. That tended to break the brace and...

    So what did you buy today

    Aside from crashing into stuff, what's the expected lifespan of one of the flying sprayers? How well are the electronics protected from the chemicals it will be carrying? Motor shafts, bearings, screws....

    What is it?

    Lots of "flakes" around it and more wear in a center area. Piece between the bolt and the block looks to be more of a thickness gauge/stop for whatever is pressing the work piece.

    What is it?

    Not much corner wear noticeable to it, looks more like simple loss to rust. The tang/tab isn't broken off, is a bit noteworthy. The pattern halves were pretty well miss-aligned. Did this chunk serve its purpose or get tossed aside for remelt and just somehow escaped the 2nd trip through the...

    1967 HOMKO tiller info

    The outer tine sets are on the wrong sides. You may want to check the recoil assembly before putting money in elsewhere. As for the recoil rope, I'd strongly recommend taking the starter clutch off and. cleaning the hole in the middle of it. You'll also need to clean the crank stub too...

    Issue with the other site

    Can get to be a real hoot, trying to deal with a defunct email acct. Especially when the mail provider or vendors will only send any confirmation codes to that now defunct address.
