    5000 Watt Silent-Generator; the hard way

    Anyone into 3D printing?

    Well that was pretty cool.... I got a new Makita palm sander and needed an adapter from the 3/4" dust port to my small shop vac hose... 30 min in Onshape yielded this TPU is some really odd stuff to work with. After completely ignoring the the printed label for 170-200*C for the hot end...

    Can we talk dogs?

    Mine are the opposite. Both are Aussie-Doodles but the first one is 3/4 Standard poodle and extremely chill. The second is 50-50 and barks at his own echo bouncing off the mountain.

    What did you work on Today; Home Edition

    So after my wife nagging me for 2-1/2 years, I finally replaced the stupid undermount kitchen sink that decided to detach itself from the counter-top. I figured that re-attaching the old sink or even a new undermount would be temporary at best so I opted to go with a new drop-in sink. My...

    Shop / Tools Opportunity to learn/experience welding... Episode 1

    If there is slag, you drag, otherwise you risk pushing the slag down into the weld. Flux core runs hotter than gas-shielded which helps give a smaller welder a little more oomph. Another common issue when learning to weld is moving too fast. Learn to watch the puddle, keep your stickout short...

    Trip Report Swell Therapy Report

    So for those of you that tried my brisket, how did it compare to cooking brisket on a pellet grill? It's a huge difference in effort, but I think what you tried was some of the best brisket I've ever made and far better than I've ever done on a pellet grill.

    Concrete Anchors for Heavy Tools

    I'd consider heavy-duty spring or rubber isolators as well. If you keep the frame from moving at all it will increase stresses on the drive spindle, tailstock, etc. while the weight of the turned piece is off-center.

    Anyone into 3D printing?

    The really cool feature about onshape and fusion360 is they are parametric solid modelers.. All of the dimensions on the sketch are constraints, not passive measurements. I can go back to the initial sketch and change the spacing for the middle slot from 10 to 30mm and the model readjusts...

    Anyone into 3D printing?

    I've been trying out onshape for drawings. Pretty slick tool with lots of similarities to Fusion360. I needed a stand to hold my tablet, kindle, and phone, so 15 min in onshape I started with this: Which yielded this: Which allowed me to print this:

    Ford Raptor: still douchey?

    so wait for Toyota to do the TRD thing with a high-output TTV6 Tundra I can't locate where I saw it, but there was an aftermarket build kind of place that wanted to do an Ecoboost Raptor when the F-150 ecoboost first came out and it was cheaper to put all of the raptor suspension on an EB F-150...

    Anyone into 3D printing?

    My printer came with a filter but I have to source the activated charcoal for it and have not intalled it. The printer sits in a basement utility room so I decided to put the fan in a window to keep a low-level negative pressure in the room and not worry about charcoal. I can control the fan...
