Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
Today I got a truck load of free firewood :D FREE WOOD 2 - C.jpg FREE WOOD 4 - C.jpg Some of it is larger and looks amazing for woodworking but most of it is cut short and split and is perfect for my fireplace. It's all hardwood too, I'm pretty sure maple and cherry but there is some from a smaller ...

Re: Anybody know about wild mushrooms?
Speaking of mushrooms... Anybody have any idea about this one? Brown Mushroom 1 - C.jpg It showed up in the fall on a rotting tree. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of it until it was close to a month old but it always looked like milk chocolate dusted in cocoa powder. As it aged it became m...

Re: Anybody know about wild mushrooms?
That's interesting. I read somewhere that you should always cook any mushroom, I guess this is why?contrahead wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 12:47 am Deadly morel mushroom outbreak highlights big gaps in fungi knowledge

Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
That's one thing I like about old furniture, the fits tend to be far superior to newer stuff. Oh there is no comparison! Stuff made 100 years ago still with tight, hand cut joints and perfectly square corners, you've got to admire that level of skill with hand tools. I have a c.1930s Singer treadle...

Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
I got the drawers out today and found there are pins that stick up at the back of the drawers to prevent them from coming out accidentally. The pins were a little high and just needed a little shaving and they fit fine now. That's one thing I like about old furniture, the fits tend to be far superio...

Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
In actuality the new one will be replacing this one old china hutch.jpg As you can see it's a little too small for the antiques even though we have pared down the accumulation considerable recently. So the smaller one will be getting the booze and decanters, although I've also recently sold off all ...

Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
Got this vintage china hutch today for $5 CHINA HUTCH - C.jpg But it took $20 in gas to go get it :roll: It's been sitting in a barn/10 car garage for a number of years and is very dirty and the drawers are stuck, I'm guessing due to humidity but it matches Mrs Cranky's and my buffet and other furni...

Re: PNW Meet and drink 2023
Don't make any special exceptions on my account. If that weekend doesn't work for others that's fine. If Ya'll push the meeting time back a bit I can make it any weekend but I don't get off work until 1:30 and it takes at least an hour to get there so 2:30-3:00 would be the soonest I could get there...

Re: Question about electrical actuator
I'm not sure how much pressure I need but this is the normal pressure I use image.png I think that's 4 tons but 3 is actually enough. As Shady said, only one way to find out for sure if it's enough...Too bad the 150lbs of apples in the back of my truck has gone bad :( Maybe the local "Ukranian&...

Re: Question about electrical actuator
I finally got around to wiring it up and testing it and it works just fine. As Shady's drawing shows red is extend, black is retract and it ran through a cycle just fine. I forgot to measure the stroke but it looked well in excess of 12 inches so I'm thinking probably 18 which I think is right about...

Thanks guys. it does have this placard on it ACTUATOR 2 - C.JPG So hopefully it has the correct capacitor. I'm about to go out and do some basic maintenance on the truck and have a wire pigtail I can test it with so I'll do some testing and see what happens. The motor probably has thermal protection...

Re: Question about electrical actuator
Thank you for helping guys. I'll see about snagging it today and maybe taking some covers off. I didn't see any numbers stamped anywhere but I'll look again and do another resistance check that includes the white wire. I did neglect to mention that the green wire has a yellow stripe if that helps in...

Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
Another good deal I got recently was from Safeway. They had a bunch of some fancy, expensive, good pasta in the discount bin, normally $6 a lbs marked 1/2 off. Pasta choices are pretty limited at my local Safeways and I often buy whatever is discounted to see if I can find something we like better t...
