    Cutting 26 gauge galvanized sheet metal

    I always look to justify a new tool purchase with the rational the first use is less than I would pay a contractor so it's freebee! The powershears fits that very nicely; the plasma cutter (I considered a MUCH smaller one than yours Sidecar) has just never made it through that hurdle. Nice...

    Cutting 26 gauge galvanized sheet metal

    Thanks all. I do also have a nibbler but i had kind of ruled it out as it cuts a little circle that leaves a bit of a ragged edge. Not sure if it's just mine or if they all do that. Might have to try a little test. The shear was my first thought but handling the big sheet made me wonder how...

    Cutting 26 gauge galvanized sheet metal

    I need to make a number of fairly long cuts (ideally nice and straight). I have snips (seems like a lot of work), a 10'' sheer (might be tough with sheet 48 x 120), circular saw (have a metal cutting blade though not sure if it's the right choice for this) or a 4 1/2' grinder with a metal...

    Dang raccoons

    Meet George. Used to show up pretty regular to steal my suet feeders (2 never found). Put the run on him with broom which must have made an impression as we haven't seen him for a while.

    Piranah bar to Canada

    Did that and it worked fine. Just have to swallow hard on the all in cost. Love the bar and would do it again. Have to consider the tax and broker fees are about 13% depending on where you are.

    Hummers

    The bees show up in the spring and I do wish they would focus on my fruit trees and leave the feeders alone. The wasps have been a problem of late so I set up a trap to keep the numbers down. Also caught a couple of bald faced hornets which get VERY nasty around their nest.

    Competition is Alive and well

    I am quite happy with my Kubota (for the record). Just found it interesting to see the BX23 on the JD lot. They clearly know where their challenges are.

    Competition is Alive and well

    Had to go up to the JD dealership yesterday to get a few parts for a JD lawn mower I have. Looking out across the lot was a sea of green (naturally) save one orange tractor front and center (BX 23s). The sales rep come out as I looked around and we starting discussing JD competitor. I advised...

    A Little Hydraulic Help Please

    I have had my backhoe on and off many times but this time getting the hoses to connect to load it up is proving a major pia. Backhoe has been off since last fall and sitting in a closed carport. Thinking somehow the pressure has built up in the hoe I toggled every control on it (for some reason...
