    Roof Underlayment

    I didn't see it mentioned, one of the characteristics of ice and water shield is its ability to self-heal when penetrated by a fastener. Take a sample of the material you intend to purchase and poke a fastener through it then hold it up to light. It will seal around the fastener. On standing...

    Poll or old members

    Hey Randy, I've been absent since November, day job has been intense until just recently, short on any spare time and or lack of good rest etc., change would be really nice about now. I guess the good thing is that I did my part working for the state to bring in a high profile, somewhat...

    555C Alternator Failure

    So it seems the 555C has the same Lucas set up typical of Ford tractors from this era and it appears the reman I installed less than 25 hours ago in May of '20 failed. Sensor is hooked up under battery, battery was new in '19, just topped off all cells with distilled water, it tests good...

    Belt pulley for cordwood saw

    Nice post Bret, I've got a Yankee cordwood saw, needs a blade, owner let it sit out. Maybe can be sharpened. This one is 3 pt and I can see it being really productive for 6 wood, am told they can do up to 8, never tried it. This one has a full guard. I have in the past, done a lot with an...

    Green/Fresh Lumber - what paint for the ends?

    I saw another one supposed to be at most hardware stores, will take a look, like was said though, depends on the piece itself, hopefully not. When I worked in the mill at the lumber yard, where units of kiln dried hardwood were often delivered for their jobs, all of it was painted on the ends...

    Green/Fresh Lumber - what paint for the ends?

    Yes, at these temps, but low humidity still, no heat to dry too quickly. Planks are on saw horses at the moment, but I think they will end up in my other place, in part of my shop where there is room, flat, stacked /stickered properly etc.

    Green/Fresh Lumber - what paint for the ends?

    So a long time friend and brothers, who are family to me, was able to get a bandsaw mill this year, Woodland Mills and they finally got this blow down white oak cut into logs and started milling. I was able to get a pair of 2 x 12 x 8' of this white oak and likely more as it is sawn up. What is...

    Precision meat grinder

    That certainly should work, who would have thought Those who offer the service, have also gone up around here. I never cared for doing that way, but used to given time constraints. So, for 25 years or so, I have done my own. I hunt the land where I live here, field dress, then rig up a hitch...

    Fixed the darned thing

    2 good things in this post Jerry, first being the safety information regarding the use of an oxygen/acetylene torch, and I'll thank you for posting!!! Great reminder of the hazards and how to avoid them as best can be done. I have 2 mid sized rigs, complete set up each, which is equal to one...

    Pouring concrete on the cheap

    Around here, material that is rejected is made into bunker blocks, who knows what else. Clean outs, really hard to see a use for it, with all the excess water, aggregate settled out etc. You already got a bunch of good information below. Honestly, as far as compressive strength, what one...

    Piston Rings in 1950's

    Black streaks at traffic light intersections, reminds me of the interstates, highways etc. late 60's early 70's, I recall the concrete pavement in these roads all had a dark streak down the middle.

    Klein Tools

    Yes, effective alternate use to access the cold beverage contained within !!! I have a pair of later 90's era craftsman wire cutters, hand held size that literally is the best bottle cap remover. I call it a cap digger. It also leaves them unbent or deformed and you get a classic lift off with...

    purchasing a rifle

    It's amazing what the models you mentioned are going for now. I recall those Mosin/Nagants new out of the crate for like $100 if I recall. Garands and M1 carbines are ridiculous, and you can't find .30 carbine ammo right now, if you do, expensive. I cannot believe what well used M1 Carbines...

    purchasing a rifle

    While you have many choices and great suggestions below, narrow it down by researching and deciding what is best for the tasks you need it for, hunting/varmint's, target/recreation etc. Include the cost effectiveness of the calibers you are looking at. Right now, there were a lot of people...

    Brillion sure stand parts

    I had a Brillion Cultipacker lose a bolt/hardware on one side and the rear axle/packer wheels, hinged off to one side and broke the casting. Right during spring planting. No luck with parts, I decided to weld it. I believe the casting was cast steel, it was really easy to weld. The welds were...
