air compressor for small auto work & nailing
Comments (10)I know everyone says the oil less compressors are junk, but you have to ask yourself is the added cost of a gas or oil compressor worth it if your going to use it a few times a year? I have a 30 gallon 150psi craftsman compressor. This compressor is more than enough for my needs. I have no problems with a impact gun, air hammer, or framing nailer. I took apart my 69 camaro with it and never once did I have a problem. I'm now using it to frame a 8x12 shed and it barely cycles on. It is loud, but for less than $300 I don't care. If you plan to use a die grinder or DA sander, you might want to upgrade to a larger compressor. My die grinder drains this sob pretty fast. One word of advice, buy a filter to put into the line. Your air tools will thank you. Also, never use the impact gun to put your rims back on your car. You could damage your rims or brake rotors. Read your owners manual for the correct torque usually around 100 ft lbs for aluminum rims 60ft lbs for steel rims....See Moreauto question

Grade 10 high-school auto-shop kids learn all this on their 1'st lesson. Here is a google-search piece of info: "Rear Tire Cupping (Uneven Wear) - (All Corrados, Passats, Jetta ///'s) - why: something to do with a defective axle - solution: The tire wear called CUPPING is a smooth valley and hill pattern that crosses the tread on a diagonal of about 45-60 degrees. The pattern is usually all around the tire with the hill peaks about 2 inches apart. The problem is corrected with a new spindle that is ground with a 10' angle (10/60 th of a degree) at the mounting flange, which is installed on the left rear, then the thrust angle is corrected by shifting the rear axle assy. (equalizing toe-in relative to vehicle center line) on a 4 head alignment machine. This is official VW procedure. VW does not recommend plastic shims to correct alignment problems, but many shops do without much trouble."

Comments (7)Consult with your local salvage yard for used wheels. Two main considerations: 1, The wheel is true. 2. The lug nut holes are not worn out. The third item is leaky wheels. On rare occasion, a wheel is tossed because it leaks air. Cast wheels may have porosities and manufacturers pressure impregnate the wheels with a sealant. After mounting a used wheel, monitor the air pressure for several days to check for leakage....See Moredo you ever get tired of ..food porn...please post yours too !
Comments (150)rhome, that sure is true. We all have our desire to share and help others get the most out of their new kitchens . It doesn't matter at all what the skill level, we can all learn and grow and enjoy. I see tons of talent everywhere I look and I keep looking even though I know I can't begin to make or don't want to make what others are able to do. I still love to look. I hope that everyone realizes that it is out of a sense of community spirit that we all post here long after our kitchens are "done", also I am not sure we are EVER done :) Here is part of what we did this afternoon. DH's fingers were still sore but he wanted cookies ! He has perfected his Italian Seed Cookies and wanted to make them. So here are some of the steps and the finished product. shaping the dough: place in water/toasted sesame seeds /parchment finished : These are almost exactly like the cookies from Brocato's bakery in NOLA. We just had 4 bags of them from SIL's visit and it sure was hard to tell the difference. The Brocato cookies are a tad sweeter but I like DH's best :) It has taken him years to get them perfect. He purchased ammonium carbonate as the rising agent and also twice bakes them. It makes all the difference. I wanted to show you Alto and Sax ! They are my starters. They are now about 2 yrs old. WOW do they love me LOL. Here are pics of them before and after feeding and then of the 2 breads I am in the process of making. It is a couple day thing to make bread with wild yeast starter so stay tuned to tomorrow . before feeding - fresh from fridge: after just 3 hrs: San Joaquin Sourdough auto lyse ( I let it set about 30 min) Polish Country Bread ( a light rye) auto lyse - Polish Dough is beaten in the KA mixer for 4 min on speed 2 and then let to rest 40 min. Then you do 2 stretch and folds. Rest 40 min and again. Then rise 2 hrs or so and bake. in KA: First way to do stretch and fold - pat flat : fold like a letter: Here is another way to do S and F. In the bowl with a spatula. Do 30 turns with the spatula around and around quickly bringing the dough up and over a little each turn. Do this every 30 min X 3 times. You will be amazed at the strength the dough acquires with a small amount of work. Here are pics DH took :) Tomorrow I will show the finishing touches and the final product. Hope everyone has a lovely Summer Friday night. c...See MoreElmer J Fudd
