Re: Blade guide setup -- a question

Re: Blade guide setup -- a question

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
Lots of good DIY solutions here. I will admit to going commercial and just putting a longer hose on this brake bleeder. ( https://www.harborfreight.com/brake-fluid-bleeder-92924.html ) Taped the hose

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
I think I got a large O-ring somewhere that just happened to fit.? No need for the weights- it's a vacuum chamber now.?? -Dave

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker

I got a large, free pressure cooker a few years back and converted it to a vacuum chamber, but haven't used it for a real project yet.? I'm not sure what I used for a gasket.? I remember ordering

Need to add that you don't want to use much pressure to operate an elephant's head.? You don't want to split the seams of your container, destroy your expensive oak barrel or break your carboy if it

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
I like the idea of an old canner-pressure cooker, particularly since we were "gifted" with a couple of big ones (even though we already HAD one).? It seems that few use them these days.? At least
