The OP has admitted to owning a CNC (post 8) so is well setup to cut out the block work. 😉 Pete

You misunderstand. He is using I Joists, purchased or home made of solid flanges and OSB webs, to make a cork sheathed wall. Basically wrapping the brick building to insulate it. Using the I Joists provides a thick insulated wall with very little heat/cold transfer compared to solid 2x wood...

Sucks about the divorce. Your cyclone is the nicest Pentz designed cyclone I have ever seen anyone make. Well done. Does the VFD run the motor at 50hertz or 60 to get the most out of the 16" impeller? Or were you adjusting the speed/flow to suit the machine it was drawing from? If you are...

If you glue the bending plywood while on a flat/straight form/table your finished piece will be the same. Here is a calculator if you decide to go the kerfing route. https://www.blocklayer.com/kerf-spacing Pete

I think you should insist they recover the barrels or pay for the disposal costs as you don't know what it is and here at least, would have to deal with it as toxic waste. Pete

I agree with your assessment of stairlifts. I see them for sale all the time for almost give away prices because they are no longer needed and tend to be custom fit to each house. I've looked before at residential elevators/lifts on Alibaba out of curiosity and they are a fraction of the cost of...

You could try Sheartak. If they don't have it in their files (or the same under another brand) they will make it to fit. Information is on the bottom of their page. Spiral Cutter heads, Helical Cutter heads at Sheartak Tools Ltd. I believe they will ship it directly from their manufacturing...

Search anti-rust, anti-corrosion papers. Packaging suppliers have it by the roll. You can also get all kinds of plastic sheets and bags that are similar. Pete And welcome to the forum.

I'm speculating but I think they put it there to keep people from putting their fingers through the hole from the outside. I'd get a hole saw and cut it out. Maybe bigger and fair the opening with auto body filler. Rotary files/burrs could grind off the welds too but would be a hard slog. Pete

A grinder motor is basically the same as any other motor and should be able to run all day. The biggest problem is unless you find a large industrial one of 10" or more they won't have the horsepower for the job. You don't say how big a shop you have or the machines you have. It will have a...

If you can get a tilt bed truck in they can pull it onto the deck and drive away and slide it off at the destination. Container rental companies use them all the time here. If it is your Sea Can call a towing company and see if they can do it. I'll warn you it is easy to overpack them so they...

You are wrong. The smaller diameter restricts the flow of air just like a water hoses do. It becomes very apparent as you use longer lengths of hose. The bigger hose also acts as a reservoir of sorts. To get the most from air tools use short hoses and larger diameters if you can. Hose fittings...

Better go out and buy more so you get to live longer. 😉 Pete

Not a bot. Phil would know. 😉 Just uses people everywhere. Pete

Maybe I shouldn't say anything but I can't bite my tongue anymore. While the answers will be of benefit to somebody down the road the OP has not been back to read anything since starting the thread and posting the question. The identical thread was started on at least 5 more forums I know of...

My father made one from an old square head molding knife (about 4" long), some metal he had and wood. He used it to rough shape wood bowls before turning them on the lathe and called it a block knife. He would have loved to have had that tool. Pete

Another forum I belong to has a members map for those that want to put their name and location in. Then you can search all the members within a given radius from your location. If this forum has the same then Stanleymonkey can get ahold of the locals to ask or hang with. Pete

Curious if that is a normal size garage or are you restricted in size for some reason? I would have to fold the mirrors on my pickup to drive in and squeeze through a window to get out then I'd have to climb over the box to get across the garage as there wouldn't be enough room to walk around...

Here is to a link showing how to make clocks like the one you posted. Metal and Wood Clock DIY – WoodchuckCanuck.com If you don't have any friends with a welder a local metal fabrication business should be able to make them. They have the metal roller to shape them quickly. Costs would go down...

You don't need to apologize for correcting me. I don't mind sitting corrected when I have made a mistake. 👋 Pete
