    Do hammer drills work as advertised ?

    I searched it to , because this thread had me thinking " 35 years and I been doing it wrong " I was surprised to see the amount of advice that said " No mortar joint " , but you know how that goes . You'll have to decide what to believe , but I understand the question for sure . See what the...

    Do hammer drills work as advertised ?

    We always hung shear weight ( not tear out ) in the mortar joints , never FOB unless there wasn't another option . Some of it depends on the weight , and where you drill the brick . You won't know if the inside of the brick pops and leaves no thickness to hold the anchor . The weight of a TV...

    Do hammer drills work as advertised ?

    If attaching to masonry a roto hammer is a must have . Drilling brick veneer you want to attach to the mortar joint , not the brick face . Mortar can be repaired if needed , and the brick has no holding power . I have an older Skil corded . Works fine , but the regular chuck types can be a...

    MES MB20071619 Temp accuracy

    Is it cycling on the limit switch ? If so the switch cold be bad , or the therm is letting the heat run wild , and the limit is doing it's job . You would have to run a chamber probe and try to figure out at what temp it cycles off and back on . By passing all the factory controls and adding a...

    London broil shoulder steak?

    London broil is the way it's cut / style of cooking , but it's usually cut from the rear section of the animal . Like round or sirloin . Flank steak is labeled " London broil " a lot of times . Can be any cut though . Hot and fast , sliced thin across the grain . Not sure about doing that with...

    Think I found a nice little side hustle.

    No . Basic saw blade kerf is 1/8" . Couple things , 1. Whatever comes out , has to go back in . So if using just a saw blade kerf a thin strip about 1/8 works fine . Doesn't have to be exact . Just draw it in with the clamps . If you take out 3/8 and use multiple strips , they need...

    MES lookin' pretty rough .

    Looks plays into it for me too . They sell some pretty nice ones . A section of duct would work , but I've always thought about the collector and flange for an exhaust system for a car or truck could be fabbed into something .

    Freezing smoked ham hocks

    Several years ago I found fresh unsmoked hocks in a local grocery . Bought a few packs , cured , smoked and froze them . Last pack i used last winter had probably been frozen 2 years , maybe more . Just fine in a pot of beans . Just make sure you vac seal them good .

    Older Scope mount help!

    Yup . When I was working as a Mechanic red was used on things that you didn't expect to take off again . Like said , it's the vibration more than a heat thing .

    MES lookin' pretty rough .

    The cart it's on and the stack is from my Old Char griller pro offset . The stack is 3" O.D. and fits snuck into the top of the MES . 4" tall . I think you can buy aftermarket ones , but pretty easy to make something .

    Think I found a nice little side hustle.

    Really nice design on that one Steve . Clean and not so busy . I can see an advancement in your work . Don't take that the wrong way , it's a compliment . Your eye for the end result is coming into play . Love the breadboard edge and the contrast in the 2 types of wood along with the grain...
