    O.K. I give up.

    I hate it the English language is being reduced to abbreviations for the text people. More often than not when I see abbreviations I stop reading and go to something else.

    Splice a Spiral Dishwasher Drain Hose?

    I wouldn't piece together a drain hose. It would either leak or develop a clog there. You can get drain hose up to 12' in length.

    How to Remove this Seal from Cylinder?

    A little late now but the rod is attached to a cylinder. Usually if you put a slide hammer on the rod you can tap the seal out with the piston.

    Finally, something I actually NEED for my tool box.

    Myself, I usually hit them with a sledgehammer before throwing them out the door. If not when you calm down it might find it's way back.

    Quite impressed

    I've found some of the worst tools have the Diablo name on them.

    Shelter for backhoe.

    Kind of vague. You could do anything from constructing a metal building to a portable garage with a tarp covering it.

    What lubricant do you use on linkage

    I've actually never seen the lubricant anywhere. I looked it up and is suppose to contain paraffin so I'm not sure it would be good in dusty locations. I use wd40 about once a year on the trunnions of a tablesaw and it works but never builds up with sawdust.

    What lubricant do you use on linkage

    It depends on the application. If it's used somewhere where dust and dirt is expected I lubricate with WD40. It tends to dry so not as likely to make mud with dirt. On a clean application spray lithium works well. If it's something under a lot of weight or pressure I use standard grease.

    Early version of a crescent wrench.

    Anyone re-skin a 1950's shop?

    If you can take the tin down without tearing it up I would try to save it. The rust could be treated and the metal painted. Only the metal rusted through would need to be replaced. Perhaps recycle some of the roof tin for the walls and put some new tin on the roof. Usually with a metal building...

    A little surprise yesterday

    No, it's solvent based. It's mostly the acid with a dye to show where you applied it.

    Clipped head framing nails

    The nails would jamb for sure with 4 degree angle difference. I couldn't use 30 degree nails in a 28 degree gun.

    Clipped head framing nails

    The clipped head is unimportant. All you have to do is find 34 degree nails. I had the same problem with a bostitch nailer, the nails were 28 degrees and nobody carried them in my area. I ended up buying another gun with 30 degrees so I could have a nailgun. All the clipped head does is allow...
