Looking at the axle and springs I would scrap the axle and springs and buy all new. Any compenant welder would call the weld on that spindle "bird S**t". the axle is absolutely unsafe.

[QUOTE=Art Haberland;6818997]Sadly, he is. Unlike Trump, DeSantis graduated with honours from both Yale University and Harvard Law School. While he is a thinker, he is also probably a psychopath. Do...

Trying to avoid walnut colored potatoes?

The reason they all look alike is aerodynamics. Packaging 4 people and a powertrain with the least amount of aerodynamic drag defines the optimum shape. That is a huge part of the fuel saving...

Changing the points and condenser and resetting the timing on the car engine every 10,000 miles.

Very similar experience to Lew's. Fully vaccinated and boosted. Funeral in Florida early July. Brought covid back back with me and even shared it with my wife. 82 years old. fever up to 103. Got...

Anitfreeze reduces the ability of water to absorb heat. Many years ago I worked with a major engine maker doing development. We ran dynamometer engines on straight water coolant. In the field those...

The small amount of fuel used by these motors is insignificant in the overall cost of ownership. I use non ethanol fuel in all my outboards and even my 1971 Volkswagen Beetle.

Had avoided it until this July. Fully vaccinated double boosted. Had to attend a family funeral in Florida July 1. Returned on the 4th, symptomatic on the 6th, positive on the 7th. of course I also...

Second the Latex porch and Floor for trailer queens. Quite durable and easily renewed when wear becomes a problem. One caution. Fuel spill from an outboard engine will attack latex very quickly...

DO NOT try to shift that motor into reverse if it is not running. Does bad things to the linkage. Great engines.

My son now has a T6 I bought new. '06 or '07 I bought new from a dealer in the spring of '09. Minus the power tilt it is the exact same motor. By the time I transferred it to him in '17 all of the...

When Auto Owners refused to insure our Michigan registered car domiciled in Florida I found out Florida actually a bit more expensive for comparable coverage. Also over $400 in fees to register and...

Any plastic material will ultimately get scratched and discolored. My last Tug Build I made the window patterns from underlayment. Took them to an automotive glass shop and had them cut the windows....

I nap most days. Generally 20-30 minutes. Completely recharges by battery. Start it anywhere from 12:30 to 3:00 depending on the situation.

My wife's nephews oldest son was in a locked room the shooter tried to enter during the shooting. Family is still in shock.

Crewed on a Thunderbird for 4 years in the late 60's. Great boat!

Many primary circuits have automatic reclosers instead of fuses. The recloser opens if the current exceeds its preset value. After a short time delay it recloses. If the fault still exists the...

Yup! Great.

Again Todd, I really appreciate your in depth discussions of both sewing machines and sail making. I was hoping you'd show up!

I appreciate all the replies. It was not my intention to become proficient in sewing machine repair. I just want a better understanding of the basic machine. My friend has a Singer 211G156 that he...

Rick. The tutorial is for me. My friend is self taught and his shortcoming is his vision is failing. I'm just trying to get up to speed for my own information. I agree, you tube is a fountain of...

I just logged in at abebooks.com and the lowest price I could find was$229. Was I in the wrong place?

I have a close friend who has been picking up and resurrecting old walking foot machines. He has developed Macular Degeneration and is unable to deal visually with small parts. I stopped by his shop...

Second the build from new plan. Sailed wooden Lightnings for about 10 years in the late 50's and early 60's. Great fun in a really competitive fleet in west Michigan at the time. A new build will...

Thanks to all for the comments. Been sharing them with him as they have come in. He ordered the Rotex 90mm to get the detail sanding capability along with the RO and Rotary.

Thanks Ian, Forwarded your comments to him.

My son is upgrading his basement shop. He has just purchased a Festool CT MINI 1 dust collector. He intends to buy a Festool sander to go with it. He asked if I thought the Festool Rotex with the...

Paul, Mine are 17 years old this month. Done 3 months apart. Therapy exactly as described minus the ice water sleeve. The first recovery was difficult with slow progress to 90 degrees. The second...

Agreed. My 2 new great brands happen to be twin boys. Their mother will see that they grow up sailing. Big brother started at 2 months.

My wood reference indicates it is Notbofagus fusca and native to New Zealand.

I did too. About 20 years ago I went looking for a 4x5 Speed Graphic in working condition. Finallyfound a couple and they were a lot closer to the price of a $10,000 digital than a good DSLR.

If all the hardware, rigging and keel are available it would be a lot easier to build a new hull than restore that one. The price is right. Raced a 210 60 years ago. Always loved those designs. In...

Hagerty. Agreed value and liability insurance. Insured my own design home built for a very reasonable rate about 10 years ago. A bit over $300/year for $13,000 value.
