Found Dreaming

It's been discussed on another forum about using "Pool Shock" as a de-gasser for aluminum. The most concern mentioned about this product is that it has a tendency to attract and hold water. My questions: Is this water molecularly held? Or can it be driven off before use with some heat? Tha...

So based on the two models you show, you are only cutting wood? The first model looks to be a lot more heavy duty than the second (ryobi). Do you have to buy a new one? You will always get a lot more machine if you buy it used.

So you could say it is a throw away part unless you plan on making a lot of engines the same. :o With all that nice work I would be hanging it on the wall after it has been used :P Holy Cow! That would be one hell of a nail! :lol: Personally, I'm only going to use it on a few engines. There doesn't...

Thanks Guys! It was a great day. 8-) I spent some of it getting some more progress on a torque plate I'm making for an engine project. The plate will fit a 1957 392 Chrysler Hemi engine. Rough cutting to length a bar of 2" by 8" hot rolled A36: http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/davb...

Well, all I can say is I don't know how you forum admis do it. It takes a LOT of patience and perseverance to deal with these jokers. I guess if the world didn't have so many clever bottom feeders, we wouldn't need to worry about this kind of stuff.

Thanks for all your hard work Harry!

If you live in an area where the electricity is cheap, then I imagine it's a great way to go.

All the electricity around here is generated with fossil fuel....
