Modifying the Luxway 24 in LED Under-Cabinet Light

I wish I had more photos of this process, but for some reason I didnt take very many. I basically shortened this light fixture so it would fit under one of my skinny cupboards.

You may be asking, why would you ever do this? You’d do this because you want to use the “same lights” for your entire kitchen and using a smaller unit made by a different company could cause issues finding a light…

Installing a CraftsMan Digital Read Out 22575

I was cruising the surplus isles at Princess Auto the other day when I noticed they’re selling Craftsman 22575 Digital Readouts (DRO) for about $15. I wasn’t sure if I could adapt the DRO to a non craftsman table saw, but I was willing to give it a gamble.

The trick to adapting this is to make sure your mounting point only moves in one access.

+- half a degree isnt bad! That said this…

Pour this into your bread maker pan first:

1 Cup- 246 g – Hot Water

1 Tsp – 7 g – Honey

Dissolve the honey into the hot water

1 Tbsp – 11 g – Instant brand yeast

Mix this into a side bowl:

3 Tbsp – 27 g – Sweetner

2 –  Large eggs

Slightly beaten

Room temperature

1/2 Cup – 38 g – Oat Fiber

This is a specialty food and isnt the same as Oat Flour. I had to buy mine online.

2/3 Cup – 84 g – Ground Flax Meal

1 1/4 Cup – 192 g – Gluten Flour

1/2 Tsp – 1 g – Xanthan Gum

1 Tsp – 6 g – Salt

2 Tbsp – 28 g – Melted butter

Pour this now into your bread maker

Set the bread maker to make a 1 1/2 pound loaf of white bread and letter rip!

3 hours later, “Ding all done”

two and half inches higher then the princess auto jack

Harbour Freight 3 Ton Dayton Floor Jack

Princess Auto 3.5 Ton PowerFist Floor Jack

While doing my evaluation of floor jacks I noticed a defect in the Princess Auto floor jack.

At first I thought this was an issue with the jack I bought, but when i exchanged it the second jack did the same thing. I returned the second jack and confirmed the floor-model(3rd jack) did the same thing. 

Downward weight(a car) on the jack causes the weight to be redirected side ways and that force is being retained by only two small snaprings. 

I think this jack design is dangerous and downward weight should not be riding on the snap rings .

Walmart EverStart Deep Cycle Batteries

Battle for the Walmart Marine Deep Cycles Was looking at a new battery for the camper … It has a car battery right now that I don’t want to trash.
