Well, my never ending "List", keeps growing, it's approaching 240,000 things ( :D) but when I got home yesterday, I opened a package from @Lil Foot. My "power feed" has arrived!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOO........HOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Now, my plan was to put it aside and go do some household...

So there I am minding my own business when my SIL calls me up and asks me the proper way to "burnish" his trailer brakes/rotors that he just replaced? I said "WTF are you talking about? Never heard of it........Sounds like some internet BS to me. You just put them on, take it it around the...

So there I am just minding my own business working on some little BS project when "BAM." I smash my finger between this stupid "coolant dispenser" and the tailstock.....again!!! (I have actually done it about 400,000 times now and its pissing me off) Now I have no idea if this thing (coolant...

Didn't want to "Hi-Jack" @RCW "new cars/trucks" thread, but the talk about rust, reminded me about this little problem a few weeks ago. So there I am, after parking my truck and walking past the rear wheel, I smell that "distinct odor" of "brake lining burning" So it's one of 2 things. My...

Well there I am, getting ready to remove General Jackson from General Lee. I have to use the box blade to smooth out some "divots" that "#1 grandson" left when grandpa let him do some "practice digging". It's been quite some time since I removed the BH, but I didn't think much of it. However...

Well my "metal sign" skills are getting better, (not great, just "better") and I am at the point where I would like to start painting them. I "transformed" my old "gaming room" into a makeshift spray booth with a homemade "spray rack". I was using rattle cans, but the results are not very...

Elon Musk said something to the effect, "It's difficult being me, because I can't stop the ideas from flowing in my head"....... Well Elon......from one "Thousandaire" to another, ;).......I can relate. 🍻 They (my ideas) just flow non stop and they propagate new project "must haves"....it is a...

Well there I am Sunday morning with about 10,000 things that I "should be" doing......But there is one thing that has been on my list for a while and it's eating at me. Every time I walk by this press with the factory "handle and ball" on it, I hear it mocking me...... I gotta get ready for...

Well I finally got that "stupid 3D printer" and........... I can't believe how much fun I am having with it!!!!!! This thing is "stupid amounts of fun" Holy Sh!t, I can't stop making stuff. I'm running that damn thing nearly 27/7 and I am wearing out my mouse designing new things to print...

Ok, well the title is a bit "misleading", because it has to be a 'book on tape", but anywho........ My wife and I have run out of books to listen too, on our drives to and from the "cabin". Our favorite series's are/were Harlan Cobens - Myron Bolitar series Vince Flynn/ (now Kyle Mills...

I am considering doing this to a problematic tire on my Yamaha Rhino. But I was wondering if I do it, can that tire ever be replaced if it wears out? I have also read about getting a "flat spot" if it sits too long. Is this true?

So I have, oddly enough, found that I am warming up to this Alibre CAD program that I bought about a month ago. I'm still not very good with it, but recently have had sort of a "break through" and have been knocking out 3D drawings a lot faster than I anticipated. This leads me to a new...

Well my table finally started leaking this weekend, so it is time do something about it. Its kind of a "known problem" cause they ship the tables in 2 pieces (to save money most likely) It wasn’t too bad, but I figure that it ain’t gonna get better, so I figure I may as well try to TIG her up...

I did not want to de-rail @BastropMetal thread, but here is a "RWS True Story"...... There I was in the middle of Ohio (circa 1994ish) and smoke starts pouring into the cab as I travel SB on I-75. My faithful F-150 with 225K has given up the ghost for some strange reason. Freshly out of...

Just got off the tractor and found these spots in the snow. I looked for a coolant leak but that seemed ok. I am thinking that I ran over a nail and it's tire ballast, but couldn't find it with a "cursory inspection" I can't remember what type of ballast they put in, but I thought it was...

I don't have any real "insider info" but I have a "suspicion", and that is all. If my "suspicion" is correct, I would just like to say that I hope everything works out. (y) My thoughts and prayers are with you @TheOldHokie and your family. (And if I am completely off base, then stop scaring...

So up until now our cottage has been on the "Luck of the Irish" heating program. What I mean is, that when we leave, we turn the temp down to 50 to save on gas, and we simply "hope and pray" that the furnace keeps working. Since we don't have "real internet", I am thinking of using a...

I finally got around to moving the lathe into place, but as you can see its kind of dark and the old "curly Q" light bulbs kinda suck. I think they get worse as they age, but it's one of those things that get worse "incrementally" so its hard to notice. I did start to replace the "curly Q"...

So there I am, in the shop playing with my new CNC Plasma cutter. Until now, I have had very good luck with it. Most of my problems are "CAD" related. I am currently using Fusion 360 and it has been kicking my a$$ for about 6 month's, but I am getting "better". So I decide to make a sign for...

Well I finally did it, I got a DRO from Santa, so its time to install it. I have watched so many videos on the subject, I feel as if I have done it already. So off we go. Here is the backside of the "new to me" lathe that is currently blocking the damn door. (I have about 396,712 projects...
