GENERAL TOOL AND MACHINE DISCUSSION / Re: Cordless Lawn Tools
« Last post by highland512 on Today at 06:04:40 AM »
i have a 20v dewalt string trimmer and blower. neither my gas powered blower or trimmer have run since.

both are good tools but the string trimmer is just so conveniant.  quiet, light and no fooling. walk from tree to tree to post to garage only squeezing the trigger when you need it.  no more fooling with starting or stopping it.

no it is not a brush cutter but i consider a trimmer and brush cutter different tools.


Thanks for the imput, I think I going to do it. What ah battery do you run?

GENERAL DISCUSSION TO INCLUDE OFF TOPIC / Re: SITE UPGRADE

Yup, she went belly up a couple of days ago. The domain name was renewed a week or so ago and still shows as being registered until March of 2025, but I suspect that the hosting service has not been paid, leaving the domain 'unparked'.  When you purchase a domain name you have to 'park' it on a web server and register the name and the web server's IP address with a DNS server, either at your ISP or at your hosting service, depending on which one you are using. If it isn't parked and registered on a DNS users cannot find it and a hosting service will not let you park a name for free.

Over the next few days, we will be getting things figured out to see what direction we want to go. In the meantime we are all congregating in a temporary forum that I set up on my site at  https://www.terrywerm.com/MG/index.php

If any of the MG guys show up over here, please send them to our temporary forum. That way we aren't over here plugging up your site.

While I am here, I wish to thank the admins and moderators over here for your hospitality and for helping us out by initially allowing the MG guys to convene here. It has been very helpful.  In exchange, I wish to extend the offer to you guys to come over to our temporary forum if this place should ever go dark. We have not been able to make contact with Rusty despite our best efforts. He does not respond to emails, PMs, or even phone calls. We searched for an obituary, fearing the very worst, but found none. Personally, I suspect he may be temporarily incapacitated for health reasons, but there is no way to tell for sure. We have even tried contacting people that we suspect are his relatives and we get no response from any of them, which is really strange. So, all we can do is wait for the time being and see what happens next. We will keep you guys updated on how we proceed.

I've been following a similiar case with an Amish guy in Penn. He was in trouble for selling unpasteurized dairy products.



Really stupid laws but you get what you vote for.
The big thing was that he was selling unlicensed.

It wasn't a case against raw milk it was a case against the Amish man not have a license to sell raw milk to the public.

I'm in the middle on this. I don't believe the government should be sticking their nose in this kinda stuff, however if everyone else selling raw milk must be licensed so should he.

I had fairly good luck with the old plasti-dip.  Came in different colors, but did have to let them hang to dry for awhile. 
Did you fold in the ends of the heat shrink before melting?  No matter, they look great!

No, I leave a little amount hanging off the end and then heat it until it melts and starts to burn. Then rub it against a cold metal surface while it's semi-liquid and it usually the end seals up nice.

PROJECT CARS/TRUCKS / Re: 1970 Oldsmobile 442ish Cutlass

Applied the second coat of epoxy then got the car "flat" and spun around so the body and chassis are both oriented in the same direction.  I'm giving the epoxy some time to harden before I set the body down on blocks and remove the rotisserie.  Then I'll have to clean/paint the contact points I couldn't do with the rotisserie in place, spray the firewall a semigloss black and the body will be ready to lower onto the chassis.

While I'm waiting for the epoxy to harden, it's time to get the chassis cleaned up and ready for the reunion.  Brake lines need to be connected and tightened, which also includes fabricating new frame brackets for the front flex lines because (of course) the new fitting are smaller than the factory holes in the originals. 

Also picked up my fuel lines and fittings today so we'll get that all plumbed up too.  That stuff is NOT cheap, let me tell ya!
