Use hdpe. It is recycling ♻️ 2 on the lable. It melts down easily to a plyable state with no fumes. Some soda bottle caps, cofee containers, etc use it. I picked up 15 or so plastic pepsi (the kind distributiors use to carry the cans) containers a week ago for $1 at a auction. All hdpe and easily melted down inside a oven with no fumes. ABS is a pain to work with. Even 3d printing the stuff off a spool is a headache. Hdpe on the other hand can be melted to abs to make repairs,(machined), sanded, and then painted for a low cost fix. |

| BuzzLOL | No Merthiolate in the stores any more but Johnson&Johnson sells a BAND-AID brand liquid antiseptic for about $3 for 6 fl. oz. bottle that I like better than the antiseptic creams that only kill certain kinds of germs, it works fast, it also takes the pain/itch out... | |

Me thinks I'm back to square one with the ABS pudding thing. The fitting melted, but man does that stuff look chunky and nasty. Not a pudding that I would find tasty. Dude on you tube had some goo that looked exactly like vanilla pudding. Used air soft BBs. I was using a plastic spoon to stir it, and the spoon started melting, which got me thinking that I may have spent days running all over town looking for something that ended up not working when I had what I needed the whole time. That's my luck. Anyway, spent most of the day trying to get the lumpy ground beside the garage tilled up so I could rake it out. Tiller said NOPE. First the recoil spring popped out. Today was the first time that I have ever successfully replaced one of those, but it took some time. Then the recoil clutch went crazy. Got that sorted out, and the carb started acting up again. Evidently there was still some garbage hanging out in the tank that I didn't get last time. Since I had the tank removed from the carb, I figured it would be a good time to replace the pickup tubes. The deep one is cracked and it "runs out of gas" at about half tank. Nope. Briggs listing, by the model number, is much too small for the deep one. If I can't find the correct part for that I'll use a piece of tygon tube and a weedeater filter on the bottom of the copper tube. Was looking forward to finishing all that and taking the 57 up to the cruise-in tonight. Got out of the shower to the sounds of thunder and rain on the roof. Wonderful...

Thought I posted this last night,, but I don't see it on here. Wouldn't be the first time time I did a "review" and then close the window without posting... I bought an used wheel for the Silverado, to replace the scuffed one from the divider scrape last year. And I had to remove a 2x4 in the room divider at the back of the shop and replace it with a 4x4 for a future header beam. Then the wife and I cut and put up the insulation. She drives the forklift and lifts me up to start the stapling at the top and we work our way down. That old forklift is a manual trans too...  She had a 1985 Prelude with a 5 speed when I met her. Gotta love a woman who knows how to work a stick...

| cozwurth | I FINALLY found a place local that still carries some of the black ABS pipe fittings. They were mighty proud of them, too. Sheesh... At any rate, I have one cooking down in a mason jar of acetone now. Hopefully I will be able to get it to the consistency of pudding so I can use it to "glue" my bezel back together. I have another part of the dash that needs to be glued back in place, too. IF the "ABS pudding" stuff works I will finally be able to get the bezel died to match the rest of the dash. Or what's left of it, anyway. It worked for a guy on You-tube, but he used ABS airsoft bb's. Couldn't find any of them locally, either. Then I still have to figure out how to secure the bezel to the dash along the top. I think I have that worked out, but I will need to get it in place first. | |

My pedal is now drilled with a couple of extra holes. The Z-bar lever is also drilled and has been installed back in the car. The Mustang/Bronco clutch rod boot I ordered requires a 1 1/2” hole but the closest I have is a 1 3/8” Greenlee punch. The boot should be here tomorrow so we will see how it is going to work out. Time in the shop is getting increasingly hard to come by. John

| 123pugsy | Nice find. I can never find them used. Need one at work and the thought of buying another new piece of crap has us without a bench grinder. | |

Cleaned up the garage shed, and barn. Took a trip to the dump and swung into a yard sale on the way back where I picked this baby up for $5. I fired it up and it works great. The disc even look like new.   Now I have no need for another grinder I have half a dozen. But I turned the thing and the bearings had this thing rotating and rotating and its still going. Then I get the idea of this little wind chime thing that came with the house and I just have not taken down.  If I was to mount two of those things made out of 2 liters onto each end of this bench grinder that puppy has potential to make a nice wind generator. Now I know nothing about electric motors. But I am willing to learn and like to learn new things. So I tore into this thing and in fact it is like freaking new. So the rest of my night and a couple hours this weekend will be learning how to turn this little thing into a generator.

Is that stuff safe to irrigate a wound with?
Magnet no help on this one.
