That is pretty good suction. Isn't perfect vacuum something like 29" mercury?

29.92 in hg. Lowest I ever got something was 2 microns.

Woke up to 51° this morning and saw this. Where did all the water go? Everything shrinks when it's cold!!! ? ? ?

51, and "cold" ?

I saw this a few days ago, and it seemed so appropriate, I'm sorry Dean, forgive me ?

What are you evacuating to 2 microns? I had to look up the conversion.

We live on a Hardscrabble Farm in a Hardscrabble State. Our first crop every Spring after plowing/tilling was stones. Anyway, this one caught my eye, while running the dogs recently. I will find a place for it at the hearth for conversation piece. Shaped by nature not man, pretty darn close.

Refrigeration systems, typically try to get somewhere in the 30-100 micron range for Halocarbon, Ammonia system completely different. Vacuums can be very debatable conversations especially when talking in HG. You can see in your chart 29.14 Hg (20,000 micron) is not a good Vacuum in the Halocarbon industry.
The time I got to 2 was me messing around on about 3,000ft of pipe, a nice pump and a little bit of time.

Sitting here at the clinic after getting the Pfizer COVID vaccine. Now just waiting for the all clear to leave.

Finally got around to installing the new scupper valve. Made my own tool out of scrap to hold it in place while tightening & like most Yamaha boats I found extra hardware in the bilge.

What I see? A missed opportunity..!!!
Last years plugs, albeit maybe 6 hours on them.



But, as every year, oil change, filters, and new spark plugs for all....!!!!
And hopefully more than 6 hours this season.

Finally doing my winter projects a little late do to so much January and February rain.
20 tons of fill to level out another section of my lower property. I could use my neighbor's tractor but its too muddy where the dirt is going.

Started the walkway path from the porch to the new pool today. Still a ways to go!

 

[swatski]

Major progress on the new patio, in the last few days.
I must say, watching the work it's almost unbelievable the large amount of material that's going into it, in various layers, hauled in by a truckload.
We must have one of the best crews in the area, doing precision work.

I found the leaks in the tubing I needed to find today. Happier now. That is all there is on the pump.

Couldn't get out of work today. What I thought was going to be 3 hours of work to finish up this custom range hood turned into 6 hours. It has 1 coat of lacquer, it'll 3 more before it's ready to install Monday.

I built one similar for my mother-in-law a few years ago. This one is slightly taller and the customer wanted the shelf to be a couple inches deeper and no spice pull-outs.

Is that MDF? If not, what is the material that's made from? If it is MDF, I've always hated the way it accepts screws, what are some tips for fastening with MDF?

Nice!!! Was just asked yesterday by my wife how we could improve on her spice cabinet....those pullouts are awesome!

You're right MDF does a poor job accepting screws. We try not to use it if we're planning on fastening anything to it. The hood is a combination of materials. The carcass and structure of the hood is mostly ½" and ¾" maple veneer plywood to save on weight. The visible side is ½" ply then skinned with ¼" MDF. I found some pics I took during construction of my mother-in-law's.


The decorative panels are made with a paint grade soft maple frame and MDF center panels.

We use MDF in the panel in a paint grade application because it's more stable and less likely to expand and contract the way solid might.

Thanks! I thought they were the selling feature of the hood, I thought it was strange when this customer didn't want them... I guess it was less work for me, but missed opportunity.

We use lots of Rev-a-shelf and Hardware Resources products for pull-outs. They're handy for sure.

Just realized I didn't really even answer your question. Coarse threads and as long a screw as you can get away with.
