Hey, Guyfang, wouldn't you think any good machine shop could mill that up pretty easy and cheap (+/-), if they had all the specs? It's a block with (2) threaded posts. That's it. Right?

Can I arrange a rent/ Airbnb in the henhouse for two weeks of luxury vacation this summer? I'm not too noisy (and I like a good yolk). Can we work a deal?!

THAT is a serious henhouse (suitable for sub-letting): - EGG-cellent!!

You got yourself a real fine corner of the world right there, pclausen! Is that a henhouse there on the back of your shed?

I see a mountian ridge out a window in one of your picks, pclausen; and have to admit that I do not know Afton here in our Grand Old Commonwealth: - Are you maybe down around (+/-), the Bristol area?

Not a fork-lift story, and yours is good for sure, but my first car was a Volkswagen Beetle, and one night we had an ice hockey game at the Washington Coliseum (same place that the Beatles played their first concert in the U.S.). After the game, while I was changing in the locker room my buddies...

That's so funny; well, you sure straightened me out, there, pclausen! My apologies. That first pic, I said to myself: That car is dead level, but the forks are inclined back toward the tractor; no way that car would sit level like that (instead of leaning back against the face of that...

Okay, was I wrong on that first shot? I can't tell now if you're busting chops or not!?

Photoshop makes Phunnies. :)

You have one very squared-away garage/ shop there; wondering if it's the Fleet thing going on; are you maybe former USN? And how do you muscle those units around; do you have a pallet mover or something?

If you zoom in on the picture, you can see the broom guy: - He's the little pile of ash next to the broom handle. :mrgreen:

Oh, this project was VERY cool, believe you me! The TVA project manager on the job told me there are only a handful of these kinds of Pump-Storage Plants in the country. That ground-wire you're looking at in the first pic is 1" diameter of spun-wire over a copper core. :shock: !

I was up on Raccoon Mountain again today checking the project and while I was there got some pics: - The cables are rated for 230 KV; the diameter is 4.68". THAT is some serious wire right there. - The turbine is one of (4) that power the turbine generators. That is a solid casting of...

You got that message to him, loud-and-clear. That's great. :beer:

I'm currently in Tennessee helping family who own a construction company with project close-out as a subcontractor to Kiewit at the Raccoon Mountain Pumped Storage Facility (here's a link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raccoon_Mountain_Pumped-Storage_Plant ) It's a 1,652 megawatt plant. I'm...

Years back when we were all kids, we (foolishly) played on trains; moving trains. One of our "group" (we all played ice hockey together in the winters), learned a horrible lesson about those overhead power lines in tunnels. He's still alive, and fine really, but he's a sight at the beach and...

The progress shot are great. Thanks for the details. [thumbzup]

Will the honing work effectively, even if the rust in the bore leads to some pitting and all?

How exactly does the staring fluid make a problem for the engine? I mean if you can answer that simply (and I know that's not always the case).

Yeah, that doesn't look good.
