Cleaning ugly oily floor hack saw mess 30 years worth...
I've seen a ride on machine with a vibrating blade out front made for removing floor tile, if you can get one make a run with that then maybe get a big ride on dual rotor cement trowel, fit some sort of scrape blades that will do something or put down a paste of wet sand and detergent and go at it? -
OT: Gutter Guards
Just bought a place with them, when I was doing the inspection I saw that there was moss growing on the shingle tips. Note that this house has a metal roof over a single layer of shingles, unfortunately the metal roof edge does not overlap the shingles nearly enough as I would have. It seems... -

control upgrade to replace fagor 800tgi
I used AllinoneDC for the Fagor replacement on my Standard brand router. Went very smoothly. I used the OEM servos and sold the original control and drive parts for more than what the conversion cost.- tomjelly

lifting with a pair of fork lifts
So I'm almost done with renovating these two Clark 10K lifts I got, pictures soon to follow. Both are derated to around 8350 because of the distance the thickness of the side shift units move the load center out.

motor coil dip and bake, why varnish not paint etc?
