Wanted to wish a happy thanksgiving and happy holidays to all that celebrate them.

no tradition here. Used to when lived close to sons, but now its just another day.

I will yeah those threads are pretty meaty. I will also be careful not to breathe the fumes, i have a fan i can use to blow on it while i weld it. I will have to remove the galvanized for welding so yeah i will spray it again afterwards. Thanks :)

Thanks cool that would also keep anyone from stealing the lift. I would like to leave the washer as i dont want to mar the protective finish on there and introduce rust. :)

Sorry, the anchor itself is solid, the nut is only engaging a few threads which is the issue. I read that i need at least the full nut + of engagement in order to hold properly. Even if i remove the washer its not enough, at first i tried a thinner washer then removed it and still not enough...

Hi, does anyone here know anything about tap and die kits. Preface: It appears one of the galvanized L anchor bolts i used for my hoist is too short to get a grip on (front left). The bolts are rated for 60 foot pounds and i am only using 30 which i believe is enough. But this one bolt...

The detail on the gurney and oxygen bottles is amazing also. When i was medivaced to hospital, they slid me in from the side and my head was right between the two pilots, it was a tight fit. I could feel the pressure around my body. I never opened my eyes during the whole rescue because i...

Yep its not easy, im still thinking there has to be a better watershed paper for a more professional DIY result. But your doing a great job of it and cutting them in sections is thinking outside the box and a great idea. Is there a pro decal machine? I will google..

Its a good thing (in the moment) i did not own a blender lol

I was making a cheese sandwich the other day and kept the wrapper in my hand and tossed the cheese slice in the trash, i just stood there and laughed. wow i guess its a good thing i was not tossing a grenade lol :)

Yes i agree and i apologize if i in any way was interpreted otherwise by my post. I dont often think of the social aspect but that does not mean its not part of the forum activity. Yesterday at the store i bought some brass 28 guage bare wire, so i guess i still have alittle hobby seed...

In the US we use 120/240 volts

Thanks, i appreciate that thought, i know its a "me" issue not a hobby issue. I too should know better, the last time i tossed something like that was a radio when i was a very young man and yes picking up the pieces now that i no longer had any music to listen to anymore taught me back then...

Yep im done for awhile, i was placing the shocks on this bronco and while i was handling the shock the tip melted away and the paint came off, i got pissed and threw the whole freaking model across the room and broke it to pieces. That is not what this hobby is about and i know if it gets to me...

That is exactly what i use.

I have noticed many times that just normal handeling of model parts leads to both the paint and primer coming off. So why am i wasting money on primer at all? example

The white clue did not work, the phone wire is just too stiff and so i put the model away and im going to order a new distributor piece and forget about wires. One day i will venture into this idea again when and if i have the right kind of wire material. :)

Got back to modeling late the other day i took a few days away to build another shelf (this time using my router for edge, i forgot on other shelves. i also worked up a concrete pour footing support structure for the boat engine hoist ill use to remove the engine. before after it...

yes but what do i do about bare wire color, prime n paint? Since its a 80 bronco, back then i believe braided plug wires were available but rare (had not become popular yet) but yellow jackets were all the rage so i was hoping the phone line had yellow wire but it did not so i went with red...
