Chestnut Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 If you have amazon prime watch the Grand Tour Episode on Ferarri vs Ford. Season 1 episode 6. There are a lot of antics in the episode that may or may not be for everyone. Season 3 episode 12 is another awesome one with a history bit on the porche 917. The 917 was Porche's first lemans win, and their driver was Rickhard Attwood. In the episode Richard Attwood drives the 917 from 1969 around a track racing a current F1 driver in the best 911 on the market. The 50 year old car holds it's own a lot better than you'd think. I personally love the GT40 but the 917 is just amazing. Reason I mention it is it's a similar story and some of the same people working on the cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 We have a solar powered Ring camera on a tree in our back yard and after 3 years the base deteriorated - because of the sun, go figure. So I made a mount out of pine, should last a few years, and re-attached it to the tree. A little JB Weld, a Forstner bit wasn’t the exact size so four little shims, three screws and voila! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chestnut Posted March 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Went to a box store to get some 1/2" birch. Found a sheet of 1/4" cherry in the damaged bin for $9. It's nice USA MDF core stuff that normally sells for around $42 a sheet. Most of the damage is just dirt and banged up corners. I'd say it's 95% usable with one good show side. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Sawdust Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 This is awesome glue but don’t count on long shelf life. The bottle hardened while being stored indoors. I’ll get more when I need it for a hard glue that fills gaps (something useful for a woodworker like me!) and sets like epoxy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 I like the long shelf life of epoxy better personally. I maybe use 3-4 oz a year that's a lot of wasted pu glue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Persomally I'm going to stop buying glue in the big bottles. I don't use it fast enough. It's more economical to pay more per ounce, but just for the ounces I'm going to get to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 So what's the benefit over an epoxy like west systems or total boat? IIRC poly glue doesn't fill gaps. https://www.popularwoodworking.com/projects/q-a-does-polyurethane-glue-fill-gaps/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 One of the WW magazines did some extensive glue testing & found the PU to be good if the joint was tight. It is not good for sloppy joints though. The glue foams up to fill the gap, but that foam is weak, much weaker than the surrounding wood. It's just such horrible stuff to use because of the difficulty with clean up & things get messy when I do a glue up. I use mainly TB II & by it in the 4 L jug. I may use it in less than a year, or it may last 3 years or more. I've never had it go bad, but it is stored in a cool dark place. I did lose about 1.5 L of TB extend that sat on the shelf for about 5 or 6 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 So the main gain is that you don't have to mix it which takes all of 30 seconds? Seems like it has a few drawbacks compared to epoxy despite it's uptick in popularity. Mineral spirits clean up vs well i use vinegar and mechanic's soap for epoxy. I can add filler to epoxy if I know I'll have gaps over 0.005 which is the limit for PU. The short shelf life is my biggest hurdle along with it's cost. It's more costly compared to epoxy in price per fl oz. small quantities make that even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 I thought it was easy to clean up because it scrapes off quickly. It doesn’t set up like titebond II which has been my main glue for a while. The foam fills gaps but it’s not for strength, no glue can cure a pot joint (except maybe epoxy). This is what it did on my super solid bed frame of white oak. This was a year ago January and I’m very happy with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Oh i see your saying it fills in visual gaps as in ascetics nor providing strength. Interesting never considered that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 I used the Gorilla brand poly to glue joints that were also bolted or screwed, for an outdoor "tree house" made of treated pine. Worked well, since it is moisture-cured, and the pine was still juicy. Years later, when I tore it down, the glue held the simple joints strong, even with the fasteners removed. Had to saw the thing apart in the end. Far less expensive than epoxy, but no, it does NOT fill gaps with any strength. Polyurathane construction adhesive is a different story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom King Posted March 5, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 I got the remachined shaft for the Reverse Clutch Pack for the John Deere yesterday, so we worked on the tractor all day today. That was the most complicated thing I've ever completely redone. I had overlooked a bolt with a twisted off head before, so lost an hour, and a half going to the JD dealer to get the right one. It was a 3/8 x 7/8 Grade 8. A left handed Cobalt drill bit backed the broken piece right out. I only found it because one of the planetary gears fell out, and you have to put each of the 50 little roller bearings back in individually. They are all just loose around the center shaft, with a set on each end of a bushing. The bad part is you have to take that shaft out, hold the gear in place in the housing, and then slide the shaft through. The manual said to hold them in place with grease. I was sort of skeptical of that, but it worked like a charm. Then, once you get the three planetary gears in place, the shaft, that I had machined, has to have numbered gears mesh with the same numbers on each of the three planetary gears. I was glad to get it all together. It didn't go right together on its own. I marked each of the numbered individual vanes on the shaft with a magic marker to make sure they went in the correct slots. That complicated assembly is all buttoned back up, with every bolt tightened to the correct torque, which was listed in the Sevice Manual. Looks like it will be a good day to work on it again tomorrow, so there is a puzzle of new hard oil lines to get in, and then rejoin the front and back end. It can very easily turn into another whole day if we run in to anything unexpected, like I did today. The worst part will be cleaning the parts that hang on the outside of the transmission that the oil lines go into, and get the torn up, and stuck gasket remnants off of them. One is the reverser control box, and holding that on is the brake control box. They're soaking in the parts washer tonight. I had to find 3 extra pairs of hands to help me get the new seal around the piston in the reverse clutch. It was like a giant piston ring, about 10" in diameter, and took four of us to squeeze it into the groove, while the fifth one pressed it down. Once I found enough hands, it went right in. The inner seal for that piston was rubber, and had been severely damaged whenever it was put together the last time. I'm sure we didn't damage these new ones. The guts of this tractor were so screwed up, that I'm amazed it was operating at all. It should be like a new one when I get through with it. I'll try to remember to take pictures tomorrow. With my hands in Nitrile mechanics gloves, wet with hydraulic fluid, I'm reluctant to handle my phone, or a camera. I have found some very good 8 mil gloves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted March 5, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Ive been spending the last several days installing plumbing in my darkroom. I’d put it off since moving to this house but finally found my box of round tuits. Hooked up the sump pump to get the waste water into the drain pipes, had to install a new float switch in the process. Today I was hanging the Intellifaucet water temperature controller to the wall over the darkroom sink and hooking it to the sinks plumbing. Tomorrow I work on getting it hooked up to the water supply. It will be so nice to be able to rinse the film and prints without having to go outside to the waterhose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 How long do you go between filter cleanings? I try and clean mine annually with some light blasts from the air compressor on the outside weekly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Because I'm a slow learner, I've twice let the bin overflow to the point where the filter was packed absolutely solid. I couldn't believe how tightly it was packed. Probably took at least 1/2 hour to clean just the filter out each time. I guess it's a testament to how well the blower works because airflow was pretty passable, until suddenly it wasn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 6 hours ago, Chet said: how long did it take to clean the filter. Excluding removing and reinstalling it, about 15 minutes. I take it outside with compressed air, but first I tap it on the concrete pad, rotate, tap (drop from short height) again, repeat. Occasionally I blow it out then tap some more. Then I blow it out from the outside in for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
