Welcome! What type of sheet metal? HVAC, aircraft, etc.
-
Very nice. Absolutely helps to have the correct tools. (or good tool person neighbor)

Thanks for the replies, serious and otherwise. Was guessing something to do with gas, but not familiar with the hardware. The people who built the grow house must have already been wealthy. That cost a bundle.
-
It would seem a difficult task to filter at such levels as stated and still be able to draw breath with such a low surface area.
-
No one (very few) are willing to pay for the effort and human "eyes on" to make sure no defect slips through. In the age of Walmart, good enough (usually) is the norm.

Having been an aircraft mechanic for a long time, I would have loved to have had one! People get upset when you scratch the paint on their aircraft and there are not many flat surfaces (or apprentices) to be taken advantage of. Not to mention that I get upset dropping tools or going back and forth from my tool box to swap them out. I would definitely get one if I was still in the business.

Definitely agree with tcoscarelli. The LEDs are a great help in low light. (especially for an ancient of days like myself)

Always been partial to samurai swords and Gurkha kukri knives.

Any of the crew ever seen something like this before? Guesses acceptable. Thanks!
-
Just curious, had the seals failed or just no seals to begin with?
-
Nice shop and magnificent fence!
-
I can see how it would be beneficial. Have been known to curse in similar situations as the one that brought this into being. made in USA always a plus as long as the quality is there.
-
Am unfamiliar with the brand, but will have to check them out. Thanks!
-
Looks like a handy tool.
-
Thanks JMG! I was not familiar with the site. Could certainly use a good miter saw.
-
Have seen this before and found it fascinating. Many techniques from the east are time consuming, but result in very beautiful results.
-
Nice! I would definitely consider this when it shows up in US.
-
I agree with Foneguy. I have used reels, but have always been happier paying more for really good hose and just coiling it on a wall hanger. Your milage may vary depending on the situation.
-
Very nice looking on both counts. I REALLY like the first one!
-
Hard to tell what and where it is. I'm guessing your garage door spring failed. Quite amazing (and dangerous) how much energy those things can release.

As electrical horrors go, this is pretty mild. Still remember vaporizing a pair of Klein pliers when I started as an electrician. I had been sent to cut Nomex to water heater in a crawl space so plumbers could move it to a different location. Cut cable and was temporarily flash blinded by my pliers vaporizing. I had looked around the side of the house to see if the meter had been installed yet and it still had the glass cover on, so I proceeded. I should have (and always did after this) looked inside the glass. Some @#$$^& had put bare wire jumpers in the meter box so they could play their radio. Thank goodness for insulated handles as I was sitting in damp earth when it happened. Moral: NEVER underestimate the danger imbeciles will put you in for their convenience!

Nice to see there are some things (very few) that haven't changed much over the last 100+ years. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely a bad ass electric splitter. If it even slowed down for a second when it hit the wood, I missed it! The both ways splitting is great too. Thanks Conductor.

Erector sets, Lincoln logs, Tinker toys, Chemistry sets (with real [I.E. - dangerous] chemicals), microscope kit, cap musket that shot cork balls (they hurt!), cable control nitromethane powered Dauntless dive bomber (with bomb release), etc. Somehow me and my friends survived and I think are the better for the experience.
