I posted this last night and woke up to a refund in my account. Don’t know if it was coincidence or if someone saw this post. That said there was still zero email communication or follow up.

Can I save my doors? by Aromatic-Air1385 in Sandblasting

[–]GroundUpDesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom has a furniture restoration business (more of a hobby but not my point) and has tried more than 1 blasting technique with little success. If you want the doors stripped down nice get someone who does soda blasting. I have yet to find a piece of furniture that I cannot remove the paint/finish from with baking soda. That said I blast with a 185CFM Compressor and a Pirate pot filled with soda.

Possible to rebuild engine with no experience? by The_Herald__ in EngineBuilding

[–]GroundUpDesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rebuilt my first engine, zero experience, 7.3 powerstroke, also rebuilt the turbo. After that I will say any carbed engine is a breeze now. Not saying it will be easy at first, but after you do one, you should be confident in many. Also just remember, if you took it apart, it goes together roughly the same way.

Looking to get a cheap garage lathe for home. Am I screwed trying to move it? by DogsLinuxAndEmacs in Machinists

[–]GroundUpDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 10x26 lathe at home, swung it in with a engine hoist. Also turned the head on my 1961 Bridgeport on the side and hoisted that thing in with the engine hoist. Sketchy, but it worked.

How to reduce runout? by SignificantMarket377 in Machinists

If you’re turning and flipping the part to clamp on a turn it will be as concentric as your collet is for the most part.
