    foundation estimate...

    At just 6" thick, and just for the floor itself, at 85 bucks a yard, you are talking 28,000 bucks for the concrete alone. Add a footer broad enough and deep enough, and maybe a thicker floor, enough re-bar and wire ( remember #4 re-bar is about 5 bucks a length now, mesh is right in line ) add...

    Natural Gas Mains

    Can you do a calculation for 2,750 CFM at your burner pressure? Normally 1,000 BTU per cubic foot of natural gas. Hi-lo BTU gases are "blended" to this standard. Ditto if you are using waste gas, as we use coke oven gas blended with natural gas. Flow rate has to increase as the coke gas is...

    Electrical extension cords.

    If it gets too long, as every answer and the OP are regged as "Electrical", wouldn't you know to upsize your wire? My own primary extension is 125 feet of 10/3/wG, some type of SJ. Heavy, but what the hey? And I'm mechanical, don't know much about you guys turf, just enough to get along, or...

    Non-standard fasteners

    Pennpoint, Thanks, I think it is, too. Spent the last hour reading most of the original page, finally clicked "Home",and found that the site is still maintained, kinda up to date. Have GOT to go to bed now. Well, I DID buy the latest H. Potter book for myself and all the kids, delivered 3 and...

    Non-standard fasteners

    Sorry, Since I started this, I don't know if this is allowed or not. Description of some mechanics tools: ETER EGAN’S TOOL DICTIONARY DEPT.... HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate expensive car parts not far from the...

    Non-standard fasteners

    Penn, Yep, you've got me, oldtimer, I'm only 60 and a half. Greg, Linking directly to page 4 is a good idea. It's possible some one could have gone to the original link and, not being clued in that it is a gag, would try to order same for one of their own slightly off tolerance projects...

    Non-standard fasteners

    Pennpoint, Thanks.Is the Xerox Edition x22+ where I can get it or do I have to beg you to scan and post. I'm a relatively old guy, as you seem to be, as the youngsters don't even seem to think such could be. I quote, "Is this a joke?" You probably even remember Herman and the Bull o' the Woods...

    Non-standard fasteners

    Strider, Thanks for the link, but the original was a pagefull,probably 20 special fasteners. I've asked elsewhere and gotten either "Huh?"s or no reply. I'm really looking for the original or a reasonable facsimile. Cockroach, yeah, reverse tapered, you know, a flathead screw, say for...

    Marine growth on Gold plated surface

    I've done a little research on bottom fouling, not enough, admittedly, but not too many years ago the big thing was oil of capsicum, hot pepper oil, as a part of the vehicle for anti-fouling paint. NOT cayenne pepper, NOT ground black pepper, but the oil from the true hot peppers, ie...

    Non-standard fasteners

    On a lighter side, do any of you mechanical types have a copy, or a reference to, the old non-standard fasteners? I had a chart many years ago for screwholes that were mislocated, so an offset screw was needed, hole tapered large at the bottom, so reverse tapered screw needed, countersink on...

    solenoid actuated valves

    Stanglou, Cadillac had the 8-6-4 in 1981, an idea ahead of its time. Look to this link to see what GM has on the table now. http://www.popularhotrodding.com/enginemasters/articles/hardcore/0405phr_gmdod/ I don't know if you are theorizing, trying to build, or just curious. Whichever, just...

    SPEED AND FEED

    Fastasleep, you really can't trust the tooling salesman. They promise the Earth, etc. If Hossar is looking for absolutes, as to feeds and speeds, he HAS to only be using inserts, not high speed steel. When I was machining, my grinds of high speed steel, though not the typical, would remove...
