Workshop Development #105: Finally tracked down that *#$% leak!

Okay not entirely wood related, but close enough…


With the very little shop time I have been able to spend over the last couple of days I have finally gotten the evasive leak fixed. Turned out to be a FPT male coupler that just did NOT want to seal for anything even though I sealed it up tight…


A colleague of mine had asked me about my impact as he knew I was putting a lot of work into our vehicles lately, and I told him about the Central Pneumatic Earthquake gun. I even offered to loan mine to him, but he insisted on buying his own, and is thrilled with it… Great to hear.


I figured out how to troubleshoot, get spares for, and repair a 20+ year old Blue Point Air ratchet so now I have a premium air ratchet, and a bottom of the barrel version. Both work so whatever…


Detailed blog entries are in 2 places this time. For the leak fix and impact the post is at http://daves-workshop.blogspot.com/2014/05/sometimes-threads-just-dont-want-to.html


My write up on the air ratchet and a pictoral of teardown and rebuild is at http://daves-workshop.blogspot.com/2014/05/20-year-old-blue-point-air-ratchet.html
