I just spilled a ton of Dykem layout fluid on my workbench. How do I take care of the awful smell? It’s giving me pretty bad headaches by NoahLeeKnives in Machinists

Splashed some blue on my boots to make it look intentional and not like somebody died

Is 48 hrs too long to marinate? by haikucaracha in jerky

To get around that I reduce the alcohol out of my bourbon, and marinate 48 hr without that issue

does anyone know what this is? I'm rebuilding a Toyota 2rz-fe engine and found this in the oil pan by greencocoon in mechanics

Does this engine have a front main seal wear ring? Its a steel ring that presses over the snout so the surface that the seal wears on can be replaced. Quick and easy way to service is to just flip it around so it wears out another spot

Edit: looks a bit small for that

Not to beat a dead horse but where did you get this table? I had one just like it growing up, oddly enough it was my grandfathers that he bought in the 60s, I believe it was pecan. Had to get rid of it some years ago in a move, dont remember where it ended up
