Thanks PC, I’d never heard of ‘em before reading your post. Need to educate myself about their products.

As for “olde tymey” container, FPE looks to use a metal can too??

May be a bit late but here's a pic of Kirby's sample colors (ask 'em for a free copy, they'll send you one that uses actual paint samples) for your consideration:

Too they'll be happy to...

I've been doing that with these things since not too long after they became widely available. Use 'em for 'hidden' closures in all kinds of things, they're small enough to go mostly unnoticed whether...

I've started to explain this to people who ask me about it by adding "rolling then popping" which seems to tip them into understanding faster.

Where was it I heard (years ago) that something less than perfectly smooth in a finish actually reduces energy needed to move it through water?

Do we strive for a mirror-like gloss surface with a...

Yep, preventive maintenance wins again. Frequently overlooked, but not by the spores & stuff that gets into those lines from condensate drainage.

What's the length of run from source to cabin, and the hose ID? Mostly level or are you pumping uphill now?

Longer the run, the bigger the ID needs to be if you want volume. Pressure gets shaved...

Great insecticide too.

I certainly would if I were tasked with this kind of endeavor. Make an easy job of ensuring they're all done the same.

Is the prospective client reliable? Will the job pay enough to earn you what...

Pic's kinda small to tell much about that item. Can you provide a bigger one or describe it? Dimensions would help a lot!

Looks like wood, some kind of rail that's designed to leave sections...

Aluminum will (perhaps) be easier to fabricate, at least for the shaping of parts. Spendier than steel? Yes, unless Stainless is your choice. And Aluminum’s less dense as well so equal volumes of...

Oh man (or HO in this instance) does that pic tell me you messabout with model trains too Todd?

OK so I was under the impression that a deckhead was part of an outer-facing deck of some sort... seems that's not the case.

Still, the idea of gloss on anything but a vehicle gives me pause -...

We're getting a break after almost 2" fell earlier this AM. Temp's dropped, humidity's 100% & forecast holds another 1 - 2" overnight tonight.

Glad we're on high ground, glad that the sump pump's...

Maybe not but if his train of thought’s tipped off rails it’ll be prospective buyer who gets to deal next with a wallet surgeon.

Or maybe Po'Tom, now even richer for his experiences!

Glad to see you're out & about after the jet lag. Be interesting to learn how winter there differs - if any - from winter back here. @ 51°N...

Very nice Mr. P, your care and attention to detail is well in evidence in those images. Thanks for the inspiration!

There.

Yes a simple bolt for the missing pin ought to suffice, and that boom looks like what once was solid wood (maybe two pieces laminated together?) but has suffered bigly from lack...

Picked up a well-worn edition of Atlas Shrugged last week @ local library. About 1/3rd through it so far.

Read The Fountainhead back in high school, never got around to AS 'till now.

We have some decorative 'escutcheon pins' with largish, rounded heads that are textured, some with what look to be a hammered finish to 'em. Others more plain, similar to what's shown in the images...

That link where you snagged your posted image? Yes, if I’d had that before I started this thread it woulda saved bocoop bandwith! I may ‘forward’ a copy to Scott @ DW for their web page description…...

Yes, if you’re referring to what I know as upholstery tacks.

Or I can order you what McMaster-Carr calls gimp pins -

- for a price.

Ronstan's answer included a link to their line of CF tiller extensions which revealed the missing bit about how the T-ended round tenon mates with their extensions. The supplied shrink tube is to...

Thanks Tom, I'd considered that but felt it may not be quite as well suited for disconnecting extension before / after use. The concept of a Quick Connect design, for about the same price, won me...

Yep, loaf pans here too... filled 1-1/2" deep, or 2" for the heavier ones.

Can't imagine 3 tons of molten lead being anything to mess about without really, really thinking hard about all...

Nah, no mind. Too long ago to care.

Arlington Heights until late '67. Don't recall the name of that place but it was right on Northwest Hiway across from the train station in town.

OK so the oblong piece (base, with two screw holes) gets mounted on the forward-facing side of a rudder arm (there are two on this design, port & starboard, so maybe both?) then the T-shaped piece...

Good thread! Gonna bookmark it for later copy/past into a PDF.

I bought one of these things the other day, thinking it may alleviate some "uncertainties" as to how my tiller extension is connected to the rudder arm on my Waterlust canoe. Presently I'm...

Um... just how much lead are you planning on pouring into that mold? Giving us some dimensions would probably help gain some focus on the risks.

I poured some ballast 'ingots' over the w/e....

Once in awhile one shows up. There may just be one lurking over in that corner of the store, I'll look Wednesday when I'm back on the clock. Aluminum, not ash.

It'll get worse, there's evidence of further blisters on that same plank between the missing spot and the bow.

Next plank up's got a suspicious wrinkle in its center too, parallel to plank's...

Happens out there with some regularity.

You just need to walk into the right kinda hardware store Hwyl, like the one I work in 3 days a week. I'd know exactly what you'd be asking about, as well as where they are in the store, then I'd ask...

Agree 100%.

My candidate for 'worst' is Durian... a fruit, if you can get close enough to care much.

Messy, stains might be difficult to remove.

Better to use 3% hydrogen peroxide (drugstore stuff) with a teaspoon of baking soda dissolved innit.

That skunk odor's a mercaptan (click the...

100% in agreement there Tom, and your signature tag serves to remind of that axiom.

Good luck with your new adventure across the Big Pond to our east! Let us know of your new experiences when you...

So how is the physics of this any different than how Gorilla Glass - the stuff of screen protectors - or the decades old Pyrex cookware?

As for annealing Tears, wouldn’t that negate much of their...

Works of art Jim, true works of art.

Glad to see you breathe life back into this thread Jim!

I hafta’ ask how you drilled that to hide the cord? (or did you just route it up the side facing away from your camera?)

OT warning!!!!!

OWWWWWowwwwouchouchouch… daxzxxit!!!

And vice versa, which may turn out to be not too bad a thing at the end of the day…

Just finished reading Diablo Mesa, light summer reading with a timely twist on what just might be out there.

New in ‘62 they listed for ~ US $3,700. Guy I knew in HS a couple years later drove one ‘till it was swapped for a Shelby GT350. Inflation since then’s close to 900% putting that price tag not too...

I put one into the roof of my garage/shopspace nine years ago, it works great! But as the roof ridge runs N/S, the solar panel points S/SW so fan runs only mid- to late afternoon. But it helps keep...
