Well Mike, from your comments, I guess you think you know a great deal more about this concept that I do so there's not much point in me sharing anything I...
This is the final chapter in my recent brainstorm. If you allow use of of a welder and welding rods, you can simply modify existing head bolts to retain the...
... BC, 1 I've yet to see any proof beyond a drawing that anything else works as most regulators are 12 volts. 2 One alternator is better than 2 or 3. 3 This...

Our South Carolina ETV used to produce a show called "What In The World Is It?" they show reruns often. Today a ratchet drill came up. The clamping device...
... spot ... I'm extremely impressed by the 200 amp MIG welder made from scrounged parts. I do think that arc welding is an essential technology, provided you...
... Bobby, if your not using Ad-Aware and SpyBot S&D your asking for trouble anyways. I strip all the crap if I have trouble with something. I did'nt have...
I think we all agree that we are not using the tapered roller bearings to best advantage in the current design. I propose a design that involves potting the...
This design also gets away from the necessity of boring a cylinder. First find a length of tubing or pipe smaller than the existing cylinder bore. Make two...

Pat Looking at the Fonly design made me think of a larger variant for the OHC lathe with two screws to set the angle instead of the angle bar in the fonly...
I know I'm a bit late in responding but tell me, Pat, do these plans need scanning? If so, it sounds like a big project but worthwhile for sure. If it's just...
