I found my notes though as the info seemed really good to me when looking for a lathe chuck and considering the contemporary offerings. Here are the ones that were in high regard for buying new today: Gator Fuerda Sano /...- Kevin T

A question about the new ratcheting flex head box wrenches
I don't know about what you are calling "new" but the Gear Head ratcheting swivel head combo wrenches I have are top notch. Mine are about 15+ years old, metric and standard sets. Not sure if the quality has changed but I am a pretty serious gear head working on everything from vintage... -

Four jaw chuck recommendations
There was a thread recently about good chucks in the "General" section. Those guys were mentioning brands I never heard of that they really liked, all Asian names. See if you can find it, it will give you some options. The Sanou (sp?) mentioned in here was liked.- Kevin T

Local trucking - Oahu
Another lead. I just left a client and he was taking a delivery from Aloha Freight. He recommended and gets a lot of steel and welding materials delivered from various places.

Local trucking - Oahu
I've used a bunch of them. Can you be more specific? Are these empty pallets? Is this a delivery to a gate or inside the base? You might call DHX in Honolulu and see what they can do. Local Office 808.841.7311 or [email protected] For my personal smaller stuff I really like this guy who...- Kevin T

Advice for the greenest student imaginable
This is the strangest thread I have seen in a long time. I don't understand the OP or any of the responses. Maybe I am too green at trolling? Insensitive? Either way it's clear that there are a lot of people on here that are willing to help out those with questions, so that is nice too see since... -

SB Drill Press Multi-Speed Attachment
There is another forum I look at sometimes that approaches projects like this as a "group" project. They get a tally of how many people want one and then figure out a design. People look at the parts list and see what parts they could make and it gets group fabricated piecemeal. Each person...- Kevin T

OT: warning GE fridges do not work
That sucks, We've always had high end stuff until this last house, big fan of basic sub-zeros like the model 690 but anyway the place we have now was a rental and so I have a full suite of very not fancy GE everwhere, it's ugly, it's simple, it looks cheap but you know what? It works pretty darn... -

Large Diameter (12-16") Smooth Surface Stainless Drum - Need Ideas arbor
I like the stock pot idea! Overstock.com might have one for cheap. Don't understand the arbor requirement, how fast does it spin? The bottoms of a lot of the stock pots can be thick. Can you use one that has a copper sandwich bottom? Those are even thicker. Is the axle like the handle on this bell? -

Another third world machining video - but well done!
When he is turning the diameters down on the crank halves, why does he rough in a taper first? Ah I watched a little farther and I see that he was looking for relief to weld downstream but it seemed odd to me. -
