    Headers

    1970s Apartment Construction This “header” seems to span the entire 15’ width of my unit. Would that be solid 2x8 up there? I’m thinking about putting a sliding barn door type thing across the hall opening and would like to mount the rail directly to the wall without adding a plank of wood. I...

    Powered e-Bike Trailer/Camper

    I had an idea to build a camper trailer to be pulled by e-bike. With the trailer having its own drive motor. How would I do it? Does it make sense to try it. One controller, two motors? One freewheel on the trailer, the other powered by e-bike wheel/motor? I currently have a 750 W 48V bike...

    Bearing Tolerance

    Steering Bearings. 41mm OD, 12mm height If I need to put a tube on a lathe to accept these bearings, what type of tolerance / interference is suggested? I don’t have a press. I think 0.002” is enough to slip in. Maybe -0.002” requires a press? What should I shoot for? 0.000” ? 0.001” -0.001” ...

    48V 20AH e-bike 2nd Battery

    Is there any reason I can’t use this battery as a replacement without any extra electronics? It was only $218, which is fairly inexpensive for its capacity. From the manufacturer it’s $590. The original battery has a on/off key built it and uses C14 style plugs (I think they are called C14)...

    Starter Motor / Solenoid / Relay

    How do I make it go whirl? The larger red wire marked #1 gets 12v when I flip main switch on. The smaller red wire marked #2 gets 12v while I hold the push start button. Is that smaller red wire going to the solenoid where I want to connect the blue wire from the relay? That’s how I have it...

    Looking for somebody to do simple machine work

    Looking for somebody to remove some material from a pulley. 1/2” belt width, 2” OD, 3/4” bore with 3/16” x 3/32” keyway. I would like most of the collar part of the pulley (where the set screw is) removed. I would like it taken down so that it is the same width as the pulley. As long as it’s...

    This is an Electric Project!!!! Need to be school on Compressors.

    Somebody please tell me why I can or cannot run a 5k-8k btu window AC and a 35-50 pint per day dehumidier on a single 15amp 110-120v circuit. Both probably say to use a dedicated circuit if using other large appliances, but I want to find out how large "LARGE" really is. Actual power...

    JB WELD

    Not really a tool or welding, but somewhere in the middle. Anybody got an adhesive suggestion for metal to flexible rubber that can withstand about 250 degrees F? I got JB weld but it says not good for flexible rubber. Looking to attach metal plates to the rubber pads on trigger clamp. I...

    Harbor Freight Jack Stand Recall

    NOT a good deal. So I'm sure a bunch of you, like me, had some of these recalled stands. I used them for a buggy that I no longer have. Mine were stolen, so I never brought them back. Anyway, looking for a set for my car now. If you brought them back, did you get credit or did they give you...

    Automotive Wiring Diagrams

    So somehow I blew out a spark plug on my 2011 Ford Fusion 3.0. When the plug went, it broke the tab on the ignition coil and took the coil with it. When the coil went, it broke the wires from the harness with the connector still attached to the coil. The wires broke right at the connector and...

    How to remove ethanol from gas

    Saw this video and thought I’d share. I have no idea how effective this method is but it seems brilliantly simple. Mix water and gas. Allow ethanol to bind with water. Remove the layer of water. Enjoy ethanol-free gas. https://youtu.be/HdDEL7WLN5U
