  1. I made this one for the small sander and planer. Most of my other stuff really isn't suitable for the flip thing, or would be less ideal if I did it. But I'm shooting at high precision and larger tools like an SCMS that takes a huge footprint. This is a great solution for a casual shop, and there are a million options out there.
  2. If you ask for a tire rotation that's $40. If you ask for a free brake inspection, and to please not put the tires back in the same place......?
  3. You sure? Gonna watch a Youtube video on it? Got the right tools?
  4. I would say you should look at the auto-adjusting plier-wrenches from Knipex first. In a live test (Project Farm on Youtube) they blew away the real wrenches. And I haven't touched my flare nut wrenches in a decade, so I'm not actually in the market, but want to play with one. Please buy a few test samples before NeXXt. The "water pump" pliers are incredible, as are the mini adjustables. I may as well throw away my whole plier drawer now, those two are the 98% go-to.
  5. Probably pretty generic, and I agree on replacing it.
  6. Hah, ah yeah, the home button. I recently helped someone with one of those and the use of it has been wiped from my brain. I kept trying to use gestures.
  7. I'm moving this to the garage, so it won't just get buried in political shit and purse-swinging about Teslas. Mike makes a great point about environment, and relative to both the electrical and fuel systems.
  8. JIS drivers are useful, in a drill/driver format as well as hand driver. The "Phillips" screws on the bike are actually JIS and work far better with those drivers. Set of metric hex tools in both hand and driver/socket format, and both flat and ball end. A few places are much easier to reach with a ball end. The obvious full set of metric sockets, extensions, and a wobbler extension or two. Obviously the rebuild kits for the brake cylinders, a new thermostat and gasket since you mentioned cooling, and probably a fork seal kit since you mentioned those were pitted. Based on the number of issues and missing items though, you might be better off just buying another bike. I don't know how much of this is "I want a hobby" versus "I just want to ride." You should weigh those thoughts yourself.
  9. Is it too late to get the lifted F350 back? Add a coal rolling module?
  10. Same, but I won't any more. Many things are perfectly fine up until they're not. And yeah, I think it was a matter of dumping too much current in. Definitely not connected wrong. I'm glad I was on the car battery end of hooking it up, my pants stayed cleaner than his.
  11. Me too. It would be nearly impossible to do that, of course, but definitely bad for the bike. Probably wouldn't blow up the battery like it did.
  12. I've been unable to find pics of the aftermath, but a friend had his moto battery explode when he jumped it from a car battery. Not like a nuke or anything, but the bike had acid everywhere and we had to pry the expanded plastic case from the bike. No human carnage at least. Do not recommend.
  13. This is how to turn you on? I've never heard of numeric glove sizes. Down a rabbit hole I go. And great deal for great gloves.
  14. Oh, shit, I think mine is still in the luggage from last year. Oops.
  15. Free, throw me $20 for shipping cost (fucker's heavy). No accessories, just bare board, and I'm not 100% certain all the original cables and screws are there. I know it works, was removed from a PC, intended to eBay it, got "lost" in the IT closet, and two years later here we are... I was really happy with the performance and specs when I was running it as a Hackintosh with an i9.
  16. I have zero interest in guitars, and I'd be happy to spend an afternoon there with someone who can talk about them. <Looks up Tesla chargers from Phoenix to Bozeman>
  17. I bet Joe has an engine laying around that we could test this on. I see a drinking game at NeXXt.
  18. I missed this before. The term has become problematic due to consumers using it like "Kleenex" or "Xerox" with no meaning. Quadcopters always have four motors. Hexacopters six, etc. A single-engine fixed wing RC plane is also a drone. The definition of drone is an aircraft piloted remotely or flies autonomously. It seems like people now mean it as a quadcopter specifically. This quadcopter is a drone. It can fly under remote control or semi-autonomously. It is not capable of full autonomous flight without third party software to do so. The very cheap ones can't do any automation at all, but are still drones.
  19. I believe that was expunged during the DB cleanup. It cleaned the douchebags out.
  20. I also found a potential database issue, and ran a repair. I need feedback on issues from everyone.
  21. I had a terrible night of sleep, woke up with two neurons working, and read this while waiting for coffee. I read it as "New pool Tuesday." In my defense, you HAVE been doing things to the yard. "Shit, he dug and poured a pool while making the shop foundation? Will it be ready for NeXXt? At least he got a heater. Wait, that heater won't do shit." Anyway, cool idea.
  22. You may need to use the "mark site read" link manually to reset it.
