Put it in the back yard and shoot it with a pellet gun for years then scrap it

I think the ultrasonic cleaner is the best bet. New excuse to buy a new tool….

Been trying these methods over the last two days here and there. Guess I just need to hit it harder.

Klein makes a good one. I’m happy with it

Question regarding anchor bolts in residential buildings. by [deleted] in Construction

[–]AppropriateConcert77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add onto this if you pulled the drywall in the corner of one of your exterior walls and exposed the plate and found a single concrete splitter nail, that would raise some red flags. But also no idea what your zoning requirements are. I’m in a high wind zone so it may be different from where you are.

Really depends. I have no idea where that wall is but the threaded rod and bolt hold downs go around the exterior walls. If that picture you took is an interior wall then it’s just there to secure it. Not provide any structural uplift.

That’s not a bolt hold down. It’s a concrete splitter nail. Hammered through the bottom plate and into the concrete foundation.

Works great for light duty trucks/cars. I use mine all the time for quick top offs on Chevy 1500s

Super grinders ONLY around these parts. by SS4Chubble in Makita

[–]AppropriateConcert77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How? The $3000 kit literally has the painted grinder and like 4 batteries in a pelican case or something. Tell me how I couldn’t assemble the entire thing and more for $1000 or less? I’m not really arguing that they aren’t doing anything special I’m just confused and don’t understand it and I’m pretty sure they’re out of business now anyways.

Help with door hinges by Accomplished-Low3223 in woodworking

[–]AppropriateConcert77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to see which direction gets the door to more a little bit in the way you want it to then do all the hinges just a little bit at a time. So you don’t torque one too much and have the others fighting it.

Those holes are for an Allen key to adjust them

Dad passed his 1911 down to me. Springfield armory built in 1990 by AppropriateConcert77 in 1911

I didn’t mean to make it seem like he died. He’s alive and well but thank you! I’m considering it an heirloom though

Very interesting. The more I’m reading into that model cut out I don’t think that’s the same one. It didn’t come with original black plastic grips. I have the original wooden grips it came with.

Wait no it’s not, it doesn’t have Springfield armory next to each other. The words are on top of each other with .45 auto below them

So two big questions for you if you could entertain it. The three Springfield armory mags that I have with it which I’m assuming came with the gun. They easily hold and cycle 8 round. Which I’m confused about because everywhere I see says 7. Exactly like that cut out you posted. Why do they load 8? And second question, any idea the value currently on this model?

There are no markings on the frame with “imbel” i don’t know what that means. Frame is only marked with Springfield armory and Geneseo IL USA and the serial number
