    ZOMG, it's been proven once again - if you know what to search for, someone has documented your exact problem on Youtube. This is even the smaller version of my compressor, looks exactly the same!

    Guys, this sounds exactly right, but I'll be darned if I can spot anything that looks like it could be a check valve on that pressure line. See this pic; I've removed the bigger line on both ends and...
  3. Air Compressor Draining Tank Thru Unloader Valve

    Good morning! I’m trying to diagnose an issue with my old Craftsman air compressor that recently started. It pumps up the tank just fine, but as soon as the motor cuts off, the tank drains completely...

    TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) is a very good smoke smell/stain remover. If you've removed the wallpaper and applied a primer to the walls and ceiling already, this won't help now. It will still help on...

    Ken, just FYI, I ordered some Richter chisels from Taylor Toolworks in Jan and they were shipped right out. I just looked and it seems they still have 'em.

    I finished up the hand plane "wall" that will mount onto the outside of my wine cellar. Nothing fancy, just plywood and poplar. Gotta take advantage of all these sorts of spaces in my cramped garage....

    Wow. I'm so glad you brought this up; it would not have even crossed my mind. My wife would be totally on board with making this happen. We've been backpacking in the Sierras for decades and there's...

    Okay, this is one of those things that I've probably been thinking about all wrong. I pretty much assumed, "Hey, forests have done just fine without humans being around to keep 'em trimmed; I'll just...

    Roger, this sounds heavenly indeed. Congrats on the fixed-up barn, that possibility has been in the back of my mind as a stretch goal but for this next move I think we're likely to be closer to the...

    Sounds like you thought things out well. I'm not sure my wife and I are up for such a project; perhaps if we were sure this move was more or less permanent, we could consider doing it. But as our...

    Bryan, this is a great suggestion IMO. Buy say a #4, a known desirable older model that's all tuned up, or a shiny new one like a Lie Nielsen if you're willing to go that route (I have a couple and...

    Warren, I will say that I've had much better luck with Canon printers over the years. I have a Canon PRO-100 from about five years ago that has much better quality ink than anything in the consumer...

    I think I could be happy with a space the size of a 2-car garage, as long as there was adequate blank wall space that was mine to use as I wish. Our current garage is slightly smaller than that, and...

    Mike, it arrived. Says it's 190 proof, haven't opened a bottle of it yet tho to confirm it's not just water. ;)

    It did come as four quart bottles instead of a single gallon, but that's fine by me.

    How quickly do the ends of the logs need to be sealed? If I'm going to collect these, I may need to get down there during the week if it's time-critical.
