All to give away...!

The hole goes over the top of a dye bottle to stop the de splashing on to hands and surfaces when the bottle is open?

 

[David Keller]

I'm guessing you're using this setup to filter your excessstabilizing liquid before putting it back in the container.

 

[teamtexas]

It's part of a buffing system used on a handheld grinder. The tube is used to cut the hole in the middle.

So far, no one got it right however, David Keller mention "stabilizing", it has something to do with it...!

Most of the folks stabilizing at home, would have an advantage, as this is a simple and economic way to resolve one of their problems/complaints...!:wink:

PS: Sully is getting his box of goodies posted tomorrow morning...!:biggrin:

Based on this input, it is a filter you put inside the stabilization chamber to prevent the bubbling liquid generated by the vacuum from entering the vacuum line. The paper towels slide onto the CA bottle to serve as the fluid separator at the top of the chamber since air can pass, but liquid cannot. The CA bottle itself protects the opening from contamination with the v-cuts allowing the vacuum in the chamber.

I believe it would be a tool to tighten the wing nuts on a pressure pot.

Sorry mate, that was part of question - 1 and it has been answered already.

We are now on question -2 (see post #54)

Question 2's got me

 

[Bob Wemm]

Question 2's got me

Me too John,

I don't do stabilising so haven't got a clue on this one.

Bob.

 

[Tim'sTurnings]

I looks like a home made filter for the oily spray that comes out of the outlet on some vacuum pumps, like the Harbor Freight pumps.

Thanks again George. I'll let you know when I get the box. I'm looking forward to turning them.

Very well done Tim'sTurnings (Tim), I was starting to believe, this one would take forever to be answered correctly but, Tim got a bullseye...! congratulations:wink:

Yes, this is my take to resolve the problem of the oil spray/mist that most vacuum pumps have, very economically, particularly after I priced some oil exhaust filters that are made to solve this problem. Not only they are extremely expensive but they don't last long before they need replacement and that makes the whole thing, even worse.

My pump, and most of the vacuum pumps out there, in the cheap to medium price range do, lose a fair amount of oil from the exhaust at start and then when, opening the valve to let the air out of the chamber, there is when most of the oil mist is repelled from the pump's exhaust, the bigger the vacuum chamber the longer the mist will last so, I got my problem resolved by using this CA/accelerator 8oz empty bottle cut in half and with the 4 V cuts (to allow air circulating) and to "catch" the oil spray from the exhaust, that in turn, hit the top and then runs down to the paper towel for "soaking".



Vacuum pump oils come in many colours, clear is always better (allows easy detection on oil contamination) but, this one is a translucent red, what most Dairy farms used around here for milk extraction pumps.

I also understand that, not all vacuum pumps have the same exhaust configuration as mine and many others, I believe, this principle can be adapted to any vacuum pump that has the oils spray problem...!

There will be (very soon) a few extra pics and info on the issue on my thread The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of "home" wood stabilisation...!


OK, thanks agains to all that gave it a go, congrats Tim, I will PM you with some details soon...!

Now that question 2 is out of the way, I will have a easy one next, and here it goes...!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<*>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Question - 3


In the next 2 pictures, there are 2 plastic items, what are the 2 "main" purposes they were made for and, what do I use them for...????




Good luck,

Cheers
George

 

[Dan Masshardt]

They were made for changing oil. What you use them for - I haven't a clue.

 

[robutacion]

Me too John,

Bob.

stabilize, whats that?

i woodnt no what woods need it and what ones dont, nor wood i know how to do it

John,

Have a look, here

Cheers

[JDennis]

I also believe they are for changing oil on a vehicle, you use them to drain excess liquids off your materials during stabilizing.

 

[DaveTTC]

Thanks George. Good link. Looks like you ,Anne the go-to man to learn more about how to do it and what's involved.


Regards

Dave

 

[DaveTTC]

A little further on JDenis,

You put your blanks in the sieve and lower them into the oil pan which you have filled with turps or metho or something, let them soak and then drain when ready.

Being an oil pan with a pouring spout you can either recycle or dispose of your fluid as desired.

Regards

Dave

Oh mate, you are almost there, you've got 2 out of 3 and while you run the risk of giving the advantage to someone else by getting this far, there is only 1 more correct answer that has to be given, to get the prize.

The correct answer are as per the below order;

*- What are the 2 plastic items, "originally" made for...???

Item 1- Vehicle oil change pan.
Item 2- ...????????

*- What do I use them for...???

- Drain the Cactus Juice from the just stabilized blanks/wood.

This is all I'm going to say...!:wink::biggrin:

PS: Dave
If you need to get any further info about the wood stabilisation (s for Aussie English, z for American English...! bloody hell :bananen_smilies035:, you let me know...!

Cheers
George

 

[teamtexas]

So Oil change pan and a sieve for gold panning that is being used for wood stabilizer drain off.

Dan

 

[DaveTTC]

Ok I'm letting you know. I need to know.


As for 's' & 'z'. They need Aussie english on auto spell. So often I type and don't see what has been put in place of what I actually typed. Like the above post I ended up with anne?

It was meant to be you are the go to man

The sieve is for cleaning engine parts or from a worm farm.

[Smitty37]

oil change pan probably for a riding mower or some other small engine; holder rack for steaming vegitables in a round pot, Used by you for draining items placed in the seive and the drain off is caught in the pan.

 

[David Keller]

I'll guess that the perforated pan is intended to be part of a plant stand... To allow excess moisture to drain away. The oil change pan and your purpose for them has already been identified.

BTW, I get a kick out of your contests and giveaways, George... Thanks for doing them!

 

[Fatdawg]

Looks like a media separator to me.

Thank you.

I'm glad you see the fun and purpose of my IAP participation, the intentions are modest...!

That sieve is used for media when shining shell casings.

You use the sieve to separate the juice from the grapes , which you mash barefooted. That enhances fermentation , leaving a product which is an effective antidote to the stress and pain caused by your failed experiments .

Wow, I can not believe that no one have got it right, yet...!

This item comes as part (accessory) of a much bigger item, normally made also of plastic, something that has to do with certain types of weather...!:wink::biggrin:

Guess its time to go back and study that picture.

And yes I would be interested in learning more about stabilising
