Love that Willys! I think the worst thing my dad ever did to me was to talk me out of getting one of those when I was about 20 years old. He said "No son, don't get one of those. They may be able to go anywhere but they have an ancient flathead engine and will only go about 60 mph topped out". I hee...

Hi Alex B; I think I have your order on a hard copy here. It was mixed in with your Justrite lantern repair, which was done and returned a little while back. I think what I have for you here is 3 model M pricker cleaner assemblies. If it was a different amount, just let me know the number you needed...

Got my internet and phone back, guys. Now I just need to sort through all the messages that were stuck on the email server so I can find out what I am supposed to be making for you all.
Thanks for putting up with me crashing my own business. Ha!

Dean

Thank you Kevin! Smiling helps, that's for sure. I just don't want to leave anyone out in the cold. Warren ha been waiting for a very custom part from me since the convention. Some jobs just keep getting shuffled, but this time they went missing! That's kind of a drag. I've been working on jobs for ...

Yall, Ladies and gents, if you have a job with me and are somewhere around Utah in the western United States, please have a look here; I have been having trouble with my internet, and some things have just gone completely missing in my messages, OR in my emails, so I can't find what a few of our fin...

Ohhh, a He-Man lantern, plus other great treasures. Worth the drive, Timm!

Tim, it's sad that there is actually someone who has even WORSE internet than I do. I feel for ya. My dsl comes over my home land line. I keep that line in case the cell towers go out and I need medical care that will eventually happen because of the two heart attacks. I do have a "Star Trek" flip p...

Oh, those little green boxes, Shawn! They are everywhere up around the hills here. Every mile you drive you will see about four of them. Then they are on each property that has their "service". I put that in quotes because if the electric or propane companies were so poor, the govt would actually FI...

Well, I dunno Steve. How bad is Windstream? In my own mind I call Century Linkj something like (Century Stink), because MAN, they have poor service. Not that the guys who come to my house are bad, but the business practice of the company is awful. I've been fighting with them to get this fixed for m...

Hey guys and gals; I'm getting some messages from you all, and am trying to participate on the forum, but my internet is very screwy. On. Off. On. Off. Explode. On. Off. ON OFF ect. So if I cannot answer a PM or otherwise respond to someone, please know it is just my internet connection/disconnectio...

Vintageish, that red moon boloney just FLAT cracked me up! Werner, I know you are very science minded, but I think the eclipse of the moon would just look like a non-3rd diensional line on the reflection of the moon. This is getting too hard for me to explain, but I know what you mean, and that you ...

I'm a machinist. Fairly good at it, too, but to me this kind of stuff seems like MAGIC! Very cool, Sleebus, (and what the heck is your real first name. I can't hardly stand writing some thing like "Sleebus" and still sleep at night. Give us a name, genius! First name is all I'm asking for so we can ...

Such a beautiful, pure clear voice. There few who were ever like her. She sang like it meant something. Because it did.
Good night, Judith of the sweet pure voice...

I have a five pack of them that came in normal packaging, being a small box with five gens and prickers in the little box. They are not aftermarket as far as I can tell. They were just an "upgrade" so to speak, of regular 200a gens. The ones I have are in a box about the size of the old R55 gen box,...

It's on the way, Wayne. Hope you like it. It's kinda fun to see how they work bubbling off crud and turning out a much cleaner part. They don't polish parts, but get the crud off pretty well.
Have a great weekend!

Yep, that's a good idea!

For the guys who live where DNA is not allowed (what a dumb thing!), how do the "authorities" expect furniture restorers to make shellac? The way I know to make it is to take some shellac flakes and mix them with denat alky. Is there some other way to make it, or are furniture restorers just out of ...

How neat! Look at all them little bugs in there. Sure to drive some of the fish nuts!
Have fun with those.

DW

That's a pretty neat discovery, that a socket will fit so well on a valve knob. It would be easier on your hands even just turning the socket by itself, without a ratchet. Thanks for the tip! Wayne, I have a nice small sonic cleaner here if you want it. I'd be happy to send it your way at no cost. J...

I NEED a 90. Nuthin' better until you get to a CB350 or a Bonny.

I am afraid that "crack" goes all the way to the bottom of the fount rim. Sorry.

Did you ever follow someone going down all of Main Street when they are going 5 MPH?
Without honking your horn?

Liar...

Hiya Phil; Kick its butt, man. I will pray the Lord our God heals you and that you come out of this smelling like a rose, or a 275 turd, whichever you think is best! When I say I will pray, I WILL PRAY. I know the power of The Lord. Many blessings to you and Tammy. If you need to talk, PM me for my ...

Ehhh;
Youse guys are making me all misty. Jus' send the toaster and we'll call it good, yeah?

Not to disrespect this MAN, but the MOH had nothing to do with "Congress". It was awarded for exceptional actions in the service of the USA and thankfully congress had nothing to do with it. It was " The Medal Of Honor ". Nothing about congress in the thing. Let us not disrespect the recipients of t...

Happy birthday, Levi! I hope you live to be older than me! That will take you well more than 50 years, at least! Great to see your big light up, even with the beautiful wickies! BTW, if you lived in Idaho, you would get your driver license today. We know how to treat the young farm folk around here!...

I already have a toaster... Do I need this? No. Do I have sixty bucks lying around? Yeah. Do I want it? Kinda, but my Bro in Law will LOVE it for Christmas. I'll take it. PM coming. (If you don't get the PM right away, don't worry. I'll take it. Just having problems with my internet and it keeps goi...

Wow, that's quite a rug. What a show of Margaret's talents! Quite a show piece.
Well done, Margaret.

Hiya Margaret (and Keith);
Glad to hear you are kicking this wang chung thing and are well enough to be bored. Looks like you now have a new job as boss of ol' Guff!

I'll be praying for you my dear, and hope this is over and done and you can get out and play soon!

Best regards ol' friend!

Dean

Aw heck, Timm. "Sell by" doesn't necessarily mean "bad by". You smell fresh to me, buddy.

Randy, when you get the smaller ones back in stock, send me 10 of each, please. 1" and 1.125". People are waiting on these smaller sizes.

Thanks much!

Dean

so probably no coincidence that the part number is 007? Well Dan, you know as well as I do that Coleman was heavily invested in espionage long before Ian Fleming wrote his fiction books. They were at one time a very closed mouth company, but got over it when they found that there was better money i...

My goodness; It's amazing to me that people might argue about how cleaning a gas tip, whether from the inside out, or from the outside in. In the past, The Coleman Company sold 10s of thousands of special pricker clean out wires that were shaped like a little 1/16" brass tube, and having an appropri...

Stupid question; what is the demand for these as opposed to just using a "V" tip from a 220 generator? I can confirm that they do mate. Hi Carlton; I cannot say with authority why the 220 generator tips are made differently than the Q99 type. They do use the same thread, as you noted. One thing I h...

Thank you, my fellow members. I do try to do a good job, but sometimes I make a hash of it. It's easy enough to blame in on the machine for making mistakes and breaking bits and such, but I know the truth. Sometimes I just goof up, and make mistakes. Over the years Yall have been so kind to me. I ap...

Hey Steve; Those two I showed that I said were from Arizona are called Taig lathes or Taig milling machines. You got it right! They gave been making these machines for about 25 years. Clint, who was the original owner of the Taig company was an aerospace engineer for Boeing. His grandkids, when they...

I don't remember if I showed this or not. Was working in the shop today, as usual, and noting that I am getting slower and slower as the years go by. That's nothing much to do with the subject mater, except some younger fellers could get at it, eventually. None of us are going to be here forever.......

Moses, just hang out with us, man. We don't always need to post replies here. We can just read a bit and if we don't agree, what the heck, we don't agree. It's not like we are shooting at each other. Besides that, if you go who am I going to talk with about odd stuff like waffle irons? Who am I goin...

Nice show of your work, Joe. Someday there won''t be a "Dean" and these tutorials will come in handy.

Lookin' good!

Jim, the 502 gen does have a .009 gas tip orifice. The "pricker" wire for this stove is indeed .008" (from my own measurements) and it has a slight taper at the apprx 1/10th the length of the end of the pricker. That little bit is all I can reconcile as to what is needed for stove adjustment. There ...

This is 10 minutes long, but it is funny as all get out. "Oh, that thou understoodeth the verbiage which floweth from the cavity of my jaw and upper dentition (were I so well blessed by fairies of dental health and the paste of the enamil) or my tooth, which remainith alone, forsooth..." And all tha...

There is something wrong with you, my friend. This just ain't right.
The only things I have that are unfired is bullets, and they are just waiting their turn...

The dot pic.. That is weird and cool at the same time. When I look at the white part, I see an image of a tan woman with brown hair. She is only there for a couple seconds and then fades away. The brain is a terrible thing. No, no, wait; A brain is a terrible thing to waste. There we go. Freaky in a...

The stuff in my attic is so common that even the dust on them are collecting dust..

Paul, if you're just looking to clean up brass, don't use white vinegar overnight. All your brass will come out pink. That's not good. Do not boil it. All it needs is to soak the brass parts in the white vinegar for about one hour, or may be 45 minutes. Not boiling. Gosh, what a stink that will make...

John;
That
is
Beautiful!

God bless,

Dean

Simple Green smells kinda funky, but works okay for housekeeping. Pine Sol to me seems like a much more sturdy cleaner. It even works on kitchen floors! And brass stuff. When it comes to cleaning tight places, I think that white vinegar full strength works better than either of the other two . Just ...

@Vintageish:

Yes, this fellow Click Spring is a genius. He has a series of vids where he is trying to replicate the antikythera mechanism. It is fascinating! He is a master at what he does and insists on doing things the way the ancient Greeks did it. The antikythera mechanism is a way to predict lunar and solar...

Dean I'd like to see a video of how value stem splines are made on the 220/200 style stems. My local machinist buddy explained it to me, but I just kind of looked at him with that crooked head a dog gives you when they're trying to figure you out... 😁 Hi Toby; I don't recall the number of splines t...
