use the money you'll be spending/wasting on emt and the rest of what youll need towards a solar cover. doesnt get much simpler than one of those and they arent expensive.

Kim...check link in post #5 or there should be similar info at McMaster.com

dont forget to check the pawn shops for good deals on tools. still using a good quality DA I picked up 20 years ago at one for $49. A couple new pads, replaced a bearing or two, routine maintenance stuff...its still working great.

McMaster Carr Mcmaster.com Nice quality burrs, good prices. Picked up 3 long and 4 short ones for iron. Worked excellent for porting. For longer shank burrs I reduced rpms if it starts to wobble.

making it a "k member holder" engine run stand simplifies the whole thing IMO. just pick up the load on 4 arms of the K and some kind of support on the bell/tail. I just detached the radiator section and slid the whole unit complete with brakes and suspension under the car after break in.

excellent idea!:thumbsup: the heated solution will clean better. How did you incorporate the heating element? Getting far away from the old school solvents/cleaners will extend your life.:)

Has yours gone bad?:eek: Not to worry, ive got a few spares:D

$15 box fan did the job for me. neutral flywheel with correct flexplate sandwiched. Washer/spacer btwn bell and block. Summertime break-in plus a few hours with no heat problems.

Mines more of a K frame holder than engine stand. Its hanging on the wall of the shop when not in use, mostly out of the way.

I've got the bigblock version Same author, publisher... Published in 1987, before the internet.

less weight and you get the bonus of only needing 1 chain. sweet. call it a win...and change any drawn plans to hide...errr...reflect changes...:thumbsup:

There are some creative minds around here!

In the 70s painted a couple dozen in a 12x24 single garage w 30 gal compressor. Not hard to do, you just have to plan your moves. This was In central ny, Syracuse area. Now in a 20x30 it's cake. Plus I'm in Arizona, so...:D

:D PTAC/PTHP Heat Pump with 5 kW Electric Heater | Heat & Cool

A couple inches of spray foam will seal and insulate. Less leaks in the envelope makes it easier to maintain temp. with less energy. With your climate a small heat pump might do the job and give the benefit of summer cooling.

Stability is important for controlled operation of the diegrinder. Keeps the chatter down, especially with longer shank carbides. With the head effectively bolted to the table it doesn't move. Rotation was critical for best access with the burr. Also being able to sit while cutting helped a...

slant rocker shaft is just long enough.

Always check lubrication on anything from HF. Its usually ok but extra rarely hurts. Check nuts and bolts too. As should be done with any new "tool".

Basic harbor freight wheel dollies, mine are black. Had em for over a decade. Work great on smooth and clean floors.

I like it simple Bill! :thumbsup: Shouldn't be more $ than the winches...plus they'd be more useful imo. I did my most recent "lift" with heavy duty ratchet straps. Up went great. Down was careful and slow.

4 comealongs. Should give plenty of lift and lbs. support. I've got 4 stout lift points built in the ceiling too. Gotta use em!

if you can picture it, you can make it. hot glue gun for steel makes it a breeze...lol mine is a K frame holder...

#37...light meter/film speed calculator

#18...early 70's, Wang Computers. Had one in my H.S. math classroom. still makes me smile a little too.

the thumbwheel adjustable chrome one in the middle. also called a spud wrench. light duty version plumbing tool. main use for me was for the big plastic nut on a toilet tank and larger sink drain nuts.

80 volt Kobalt blower and string trimmer. Great stuff, got em on sale months ago for $88 each. Blower is awesome, easy to use. Trimmer isn't light but balances well. 2 batteries, 2 chargers included.

Steck mig light. Haven't tried it yet. My issue is light coming in from behind. Found a leather hood type that solves that problem with a good lense assembly. Just had to add foam padding for better fit with glasses on.

keep the rpms down on the longer shanks and they wont chatter nearly as easy.
