Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Torque wrench on spark plugs, we need answers so cast your vote now

What is expansion pex? Never heard of that either.

 

Instead of using a metal crimp ring it uses a plastic expansion ring, spread it out with a tool slip on the fitting and the memory sucks it back tight. Made by Uponor

pretty much all I use now exclusively unless I need to sweat something old

 

looks more like irrigation funny pipe to me

but I know nothing

 

Good Morning Folks

 

Little moist here today.

 

That seriously looks like my cousin's wife.

A couple years ago it was snowing, my cousin came by the store in his old Tahoe. I ask him if he had been pulling his wife behind it on a sled in the snow. He said "no, I don't want to tear the transmission out". My wife slapped his hand, he said "what, that snow is rough on a trans"

 

New poll just for you @Gregthespy

 

Fab shop lasered this stainless out for us and welded it to be water tight

I did drill and tap the holes in the end plates before assembly

 

We are officially down for maintenance. You don’t have to know what you’re doing, you just have to act like you know what you’re doing

 

Would it be hard to make the jack bolt holes the same as the ones that hold it down so the person taking it apart doesn’t have to go find two bolts to jack the plate off? Come on engineers

 

Little known fact that may affect how this goes down. On my old Husqvarna, I took the deck off about 10 times in the last few years of owning it, so I’m assuming this should go well. The 2nd advantage is that I’m stopping by her place tonight and have the forethought to hit all the hardware with some JB-80 to avoid a struggle.

but we’ll see...

 

A man that plans ahead to *try and make his life easier, I like it

 

Remember that bearing puller you’ve been wanting to make for 10+ years? No time for that now

 

Tire tool it is

 

“I’m doing it! I’m finally making that bearing puller! Let me just fire up the mill... DOH!!!” [Grabs tire tool]

 

Well, I stuck the shovel in deep this time! I know what my weekends are going to consist of for the rest of the year.
It’s the kids only Christmas gift from us this year.
I joked with my oldest son about building a lean-to on the side for parking... I’ll have to branch this build off to the woodworking thread.
Now to shop for a new miter saw!

 

Stand by, I'm changing my answer in the poll

That is cool, the kids will love it

 

It was at this moment, Jim realized that 45lbs of boost was just a few lbs too many. And that turbo is still spinning because it's no quitter
