  1. Drill press or welding table clamp.
  2. I'm guessing he won't make it to retirement with all his fingers.
  3. Congratulations! Been a long time since I was in welding classes, but I certainly enjoyed them. Also, they came in handy at work.
  4. As Tug said, many (too many) of us know what it feels like. Sorry for your loss.
  5. Very informative. We are and have been for a long time now, in a global economy. I don't know of many companies that have products that are 100% from any one country. Even those that manufacture here get their steel, electronic components, etc. elsewhere.
  6. Interesting. Not sure how long term use would affect it, but a nice idea.
  7. That would be a nice return. I hope that will be the case.
  8. Good to hear from you again! Does it still have tube and knob wiring, or was it ever wired? I assume it was at some point. Plaster and lath is a joy to demo as well. Good luck with all the renovations. Guessing a mask company is benefiting from your efforts.
  9. Do not put too much grease in the gearbox. Too much is as bad as not enough. Plowing through quality grease at high speed will put undue stress on things and eat up power. Learned the hard way many years ago.

    Butt ugly

    Interesting. Only practical for fairly local work. Would be good on a farm/ranch, etc.
  11. If you are willing to put in a lot of effort and time, use a hand held tamper. I used to do stonework and the only time we would use a hand tamper is in a small spot that was impossible to use our powered one. Lot of work to do it right. Base is the most important thing!!!
  12. Used to be simple to get a tour of our local nuclear power plant, but not anymore. Back in the day you could drive in the gate, past the cooling tower, and just look around. Took making prior arrangements to actually get inside, but was not hard. Nowadays it is like a fortress.
  13. No surprise they are out of stock! Thanks.
  14. Great job on everything. Not all of us can afford big yellow and red, but we manage anyway!
