Hi Guys,
I need to cut an 18-inch circle in the middle of the hood of my hotrod in
order to accommodate a cold air induction setup. I have identified and
marked the center of the circle. Now the trick is to lay out the perimeter
and make the cut without it having to many square corners.
I have
All you need to do to get rid of those darn things once and for all is to take
a pail and pour a quart or two of Mountain Dew in it. Be sure to use the kind
that has sugar in it, after two days you will find all those wasps and bees in
the bottom of the pail dead.This isn't a maybe, it works
What tool do you intend to use to cut with? Is this sheet metal or some
composite?

Well I don't have any experience with the disk cutter, I assume it is
mounted like a circular saw in which case cutting a curve will be very
difficult.
With a sawsall though, a bar or stick of wood with a pin or probably even
better a small bolt through it near one end and cut 9 inches from
Actually the disk cutter is a high speed air motor with a 3/8 chuck on the
end just like a drill motor and the disks come in a variety of diameters
depending on your specific requirements. The disk surface is perpendicular
to the centerline of the air motor thus allowing you to cut with the
I have cut circles the way Dale describes, only I used a sabre saw also
sometimes called a jig saw, with a metal cutting blade. I have a saws all but
never tried it thinking that the larger base of the sabre saw would cut with
less bouncing and vibration.

Thanks for the tip on the gloves.
Another thought has occurred to me, with the grinding wheel or the sawsall
but probably better with the grinder, you could use a length of cable,
something like that aircraft cable, heavy cord would probably also do but
you make a tight loop at the pivot point
hi lary the jig saw with a guide on the shoe would be the way to go.
most jig saws i have seen have a slot to put a guide bar into.
just put a pin in the end of the bar drill a hole in the center set the bar
for the proper length and cut around the circle..
the jig saw has a thinner blade than
Thanks for the info on the gloves, Larry. All ready have them on my
list for the next trip to town.
Now, if you or anyone, just has a tip on a cheap, manual, wood splitter.

What kind of splitter are you looking for Joe? The only manual ones I
know about have a sledge or maul involved.
The splitters that use a hydraulic ram can be pretty pricey. I've had
one that was basically a Briggs Stratton engine driving a geared down
augor. You jammed the log onto the end
Joe,
Back in the day before I traded my wood stove for a swimming pool I used a
product called Chopper1. The device looks like your standard issue single
bit ax with the exception of two small wedge shaped levers one located on
each side of the ax style blade.
When you struck the wood the
Hello my name is marco am new on the list hope to learn from you. I
just bought a house in Arizona, and I would like to know how to cut my
back and my front yard. And I would like to know how to find out
patterns or a way to mow with the lawn mower. I hope to get some tips
and am happy to join
Cy suggested:
You might want to try mixing water, salt
and vinegar.
Will this mixture kill poison ivy? We
have used a product called Round Up, but it
kills everything it touches, including trees
eventually. I'm not sure if it is safe around
animals though.

Dear Marco:
I have a long-term friend who lives in Mesa. Even though he was raised
a hillbilly, here in East Tennessee, he now claims to enjoy the 100 plus
plus temperatures that Arizona provides for most of the year. His doctors
sent him to Arizona in the seventies to get away from grass
Hi Steve and Shannon,
I guess the first question is:
What weeds are you wanting to kill and where?
I apply a 2 4 D compound to my lawns in the mid spring. When we had a pet
dog I used to divide the back yard down the middle with snow fence attached
to some rebar driven into the ground and
I have heard of people using bleach to kill weeds ...I'm not sure how good
it works.

Well for that purpose, spraying Roundup is easily the best option. You want
to do it during dry weather and you probably want to keep your animals from
eating the leaves at least the first day otherwise though it is pretty safe

The traditional methods of weed control in flower plantings consist of
manual cultivation, hand pulling and mulches. However, in recent years
chemical companies
have introduced a number of herbicides for the home gardener. These weed
killers have been formulated and packaged by lawn and

Well here is one application for salt although containing it might be a
problem.
Black plastic works really well until enough debris accumulates to permit
growth.You can keep it down by scattering stone over it but be aware that
stone will trap moisture and dirt and eventually weed will grow.
The floor on my 89 pickup has deteriorated under the left front corrner of
the drivers seat.
I was thinking about using some flat stock and pop riviting a piece above
and below the floor.
Also I am picking up a 1990 GMC gymmy for parts. I could cut a section of
the floor board out of the Gymmy but

Congradulations on your new house.
As for cutting your back you can do that with a knife but it will hurt like
heck and will bleed quite a lot.

As for your front yard.
I have seen a lot of posts on this subject in the past.
The main thing most of us would agree on is simply to
I have a garden that is about 30 by 60 feet or better. would it be afective
to lay down tarps or heavy plastic over the winter?
or would the weed matts be better?
Do these weed mats come in large sizes and are they quite expensive?

what the
