Make Your Own Motorcycle Stand

Paddock stands are the basic of all the bike stands yet some finds the contraption a bit tricky to work with. It requires one to be capable of doing two things at once i.e. keeping the bike upright as one slips the stand from the rear. Good thing there are good alternatives to paddock stands. One can choose from motorcycle jack or lift for sale or one may opt to build motorcycle stands from scratch.

Building Materials
If building a homemade motorcycle stand captures your fancy, then go ahead and do it. This garage project is easy and very doable. The basic stuffs needed are pipe bending tools and a welder. For the stand's structure, the best material to use is a 2-inch heavy gauge steel pipe. This metal is fairly sturdy with high malleability. If that's unavailable, a 2-inch channel bar will do. It is a square steel pipe mostly used to build shelves and gates. One will have to struggle a bit with this material as it requires more heat and more muscle strength to bend it. There are also designs that make use of cylindrical pipes and channel bars. One can also build a ramp or a stand using 2x6 wood boards.

Design
There are so many designs available on motorcycle jacks. One design for example can even support a ton load. It has a 3-feet rod handle bent at a diagonal against the surface and rises up from the center. The device is connected to a crossbar with stubby legs that will fit your bike from a slightly angled position. The crossbar is positioned underneath the bike parallel to the ground and when the handle is lifted, the crossbar slides forward lifting the bike up.

Another design resembles a V which is fixed onto a plate with a pivot bar. It is easy to use. One only needs to position the bike on the V figure. When the bike is pushed forward, the V locks into an upright position.

Fabrication
During the actual building process make sure that you are well-armed with metal bending tools.

First thing to do is mark the center of the bar then place the pipe into the bender so that the mark is centered. To bend the pipe, use a blow torch or a heat gun. For thicker bars or channel pipes, longer heating is required. The corners of channel bars however may bunch together which may make it weak. After bending, weld the corners of the bars with MIG or TIG to regain its strength. This skill requires practice. If one has no experience in welding, best advice is to learn welding first before doing any of the previously mentioned steps.

Optional Accessory
Since motorcycle stands are constantly under wear and tear, rubber caps on handle bars and legs help minimize the effects. Paints on the stand do not only add color but with an application of primer and an automotive paint prevents rusting.

Wood Pellets For Sale - How to Pick the Best Quality Pellets

Looking for high quality wood pellets for sale? If you have been racking your brains about how you would identify the high quality from the low quality ones, here are the things you should look out for:

Best Heat Gun

You should remember initially that wood pellets for sale are not manufactured the same way. With that in your head, there are two things you should first check before purchasing it in bulk. The first one is the BTU which stands for British Thermal Unit. This measures the heating capacity of your pellets, and naturally, the higher the number, the more efficient it is. You should be looking for a BTU of 8,000 or above for the best quality.

Best Heat Gun

Another important number you should consider is the ash content. This measures how much is wasted from the pellets. A lot of people don't even look into these things, but these are actually two of the most important factors you should prioritize. In this case, the lower the number, the better. So far, there are currently wood pellets for sale that have as little as 2% ash content, so you should pick these or settle for something with a slightly higher ash content.

When you remember these two, you don't have to worry about what brand you choose, because the efficiency of the pellets do not depend on the brand. Of course, there will always be the more popular brands and the obscure ones. So if you trust a particular brand, you have to still make it a point to check the BTU and the ash content, that way you know you're buying only quality product.

Spray Gun Finishing Equipment - What Spray Gun is Best For Your Application?

Spray gun painting can be used for both manufacturing processes as well as many household projects. There are two different types of air gun spraying: the manual operation method and the automatic process. In the manual method the air gun sprayer is hand held and moved back and forth over the surface, each stroke overlapping the last to ensure a continuous coat. In the automatic process the gun head is attached to a mounting block and delivers a stream of paint from that position.

Best Heat Gun

There are a few different types of spray guns to use depending on your needs:

Best Heat Gun

HVLP Spray Guns: HVLP which stands for high volume low pressure are similar to a conventional spray gun using a compressor to supply the air. The spray gun itself requires low pressure (LP) and a higher volume (HV) of air is used to aerosolize and propel the paint at a lower air pressure. HVLP Spray Gun Systems are most commonly used in the automotive, marine, architectural coating, furniture finishing, and cosmetic industry.

LVLP Spray Guns: LVLP which stands for low volume low pressure uses a lower volume of air to atomize the paint at the cap. These spray guns, like HVLP systems, operate at low pressure but also have a low volume of paint coating. Unlike HVLP guns LVLP guns can be used with a smaller compressor. These spray gun systems are great for small shops, woodworkers, or smaller projects in general.

Electrostatic Spray Painting: Electrostatic painting is when an electrically charged powder is sprayed on a surface that is charged with the opposite electrical charge. The whole is then baked to properly attach paint. It's much more durable than liquid paint and it's an environmentally friendly process because there are no solvents to evaporate into the air or go down the drain. Electrostatic painting can be used on most plastics and any kind of metals. This type of painting is commonly used to paint car bodies, bicycles, elevators, and some office equipment.

Airless Spray Guns: Airless Spray Guns are connected to a high pressure pump to atomize the coating using different tip sizes to reach desired atomization and spray pattern size. Airless spray gun coatings penetrate better into pits and crevices, and have a thick wet coating which reduces the number of applications. These systems are commonly used by contract painters to paint heavy duty industrial, chemical, and marine coatings and linings.

Air Assisted Airless Spray Guns: Air Assisted Airless Spray Guns are very similar to the airless gun in that high fluid pressures force the coating through a small orifice in the spray gun cap. The gun differs from the airless spray gun in that the fluid pressures are lower. These spray guns provide high transfer rate and increase application speed and is best used with flat line applications. These spray guns are commonly found in factory finish shops.

Best Pepper Spray

The Best Pepper Spray To Use Is Based On Your Experience and Situation. Since peppersprays are used widely used by men and women of all ages, law enforcement, as well as United States postal workers, there are a variety of sizes, intensities and types available.

Best Heat Gun

WHAT IS PEPPER SPRAY? It is a derivative of the peppers such as cayenne and other hot peppers. Once extracted and made into a spray, it can be used as an effective deterrent in potentially dangerous situations. Pepperspray causes an immediate burning sensation in the skin, eyes and mucous membranes

Best Heat Gun

While there will always be controversy concerning any type of self-defense, these sprays are completely legal, have no proven long-term negative effects and is non-lethal. Self defense spray and tear gas are entirely different products, one an irritant (tear gas), the other an inflammatory agent (oleoresin capsicum spray), and while they may have common uses, they should not be confused.

Pepper spray comes in a variety of types, concentrations, and methods of deployment with different manufacturers (Fox labs, Police Magnum, Security Plus, Sabre Red and SpitFire) each giving there own slant to an already effective product.

Depending on your needs, defense sprays can be purchased in almost any style, shape and price range, with 1/2 ounce keychain models, others disguised as lipstick, but most commonly found in 4 to 9 oz. bottles worn on a small holster on your waist.

PEPPERSPRAY CAN BE DISGUISED: Certain models of self defense sprays can be disguised (hidden) inside a ring, lipstick, pen or cell phone. While you may pay more for a disguised canister, it is a low cost pay for your peace of mind.

They will range in size from a small 1/2 ounce size, up to 1 pound (normally used in riot control) or those venturing into bear country. An important consideration is the range (with 6 to 8 foot being effective) and number of shot (sprays) contained.

PEPPER SPRAY FACT: Most peppersprays are classified by the number of one second bursts, with a one to two second burst disabling most assailants.

The method of spray delivery will depend on your circumstances, with the following methods being offered...

STEADY and BROKEN STREAM as the name implies shoots a steady or broken stream directly into the face of assailant. This is probably the easiest to aim and most widely used defense spray.

FOAM provides the most protection against the blowback (getting the pepper spray on yourself), and is excellent in windy situations. This foam approximates the consistency of shaving cream but is filled with hot pepper.

FOGGER is excellent for when dealing with multiple attackers, crowd control, packs of dogs, and to keep for protection in your home. The disadvantage of a fogger is the likelihood of some blowback occuring.

FORCED CONE is a recent variation and produces a fine mist but forceful pattern, reaching distances of up to 12 feet. The mist is comprised of very fine droplets minimizing blowback and maximizing your defenses possibilities.

PEPPER SPRAY EFFECTIVENESS: Oleoresin Capsicum spray is rated in two ways; the percentage of OC and SHU, OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) is the inflammatory agent in pepper spray, while SHU (Scoville Heat Units) measure the amount of capsaicin (the active component of chili peppers). When comparing one brand against another, the one with the higher SHU is normally more effective.

Self Defense Sprays, whether made with capsaicin or tear gas, were created to help control difficult situations and this remains where it is most effective. It is not designed to stop a bullet or fend off a knife, rather to provide the opportunity to escape a bad situation and seek help.

Dove Hunting - Tips on Getting Started

A step by step guide to get you in the field!

Best Heat Gun

Dove Hunting is a great sport for all ages. Whether you are 12 or 50, it can be rewarding. I started at age 17 and haven't missed an opening day since. As the summer begins, my heart and mind always go to September 1st (opening day North and Central Zones in Texas). Every year my dad, brother and I have a competition, called 'The Top Gun', and whoever kills the most birds gets their name on the Top Gun plaque for the year. (Dad wins every year) I've started my two oldest sons out and this year they are in the competition too. I'm looking forward to many years of time with them With all that said, if you would like to try it out I have some practical things for you to do to make getting started easy.

Best Heat Gun

Getting started falls into two basic categories:

What to purchase?
What to do?

What to Purchase

I know, you are thinking this is going to be expensive. It can be (if you have the money), if not, you can start out on a shoestring budget, like me. There are many items that make dove hunting more comfortable but they are not necessary to begin hunting. I'll begin with the bare necessities.

A Shotgun
I don't think there is any way around this one, unless you are real good with a sling shot. There are many options when it come to a shotgun. The basic categories are; pump action, auto-matic, and over and under. All three have there advantages and disadvantages. The other things involved in purchasing a shotgun are , what gauge and what brand.

A pump action shot gun is the least expensive type of shotgun. Pumps can be purchased for around 0. Winchester and Remington have decent entry level pump shotguns. A pump simply means that the discharging and reloading of shells is done by pumping the gun backwards and then forward. Contrary to popular belief, this can be done very quickly and all have shot a lot of birds with a pump. A pump's advantages are it is a great starter gun and the cost will keep some money in the bank if you are on a budget.

An automatic shotgun is an upgrade from a pump. An automatic shotgun ejects the spent shell and reloads the chamber automatically (hints why it's called an automatic). Both the pump and automatic hold three shells(with the plug in). For a beginner and even for me (as I shoot an automatic), the third shot can be a life saver. Automatic shotguns can be pricey though. I shoot a Remington 1170 (left handed ) and it cost around 0. the price range is from 0 and up. I've never had any problems with my gun but some critics of them say they over heat and run out of gas if you do an awful amount of shooting. I recommend automatic's unless you are going to Argentina or something.

Over and Under shotguns are probably the most popular in the target shooting world and a lot of bird hunter use the. They have two barrels one on top of the other. they are know for their accuracy and reliability. Both my brother and my dad shoot them. They are the most expensive starting at around 0 and going up from there. If you've got the cash, you can't go wrong buying one.

Gauges: When buying a shotgun, size does matter. The smaller the number the larger the shell. 12 gauge is the most common and then 20 gauge being the next. Although there a many different gauges all you need to know is the bigger the gauge the more it kicks. Don't get to excited none of them really hurt unless you shoot 500 then you might be a little sore. I recommend 12 gauge for adult males and 20 ga. for adult women and kids over 13. For youngsters, I recommend .410 gauge.

Brands: I've had good luck with Remington and Winchester. Both are low to medium price range. Mossberg also makes entry level shotguns, but my brother had all kinds of problems with his first pump, in a short period of time I might add. Benelli an Beretta are also good brands, but in the medium to high price range.

The bottom line is you have to have a gun, so decide on your budget and make a purchase that will last a life time. Let's keep a running total....

1-pump-action gun = 0

2. A place to hunt

I'd say this is a necessity. Here again, this depends on your bank account. There are several ways to hunt without paying ant outrageous amount of money. In Texas, they have public land and for around one can access thousands of acres. The trick is finding a spot with birds. There are also day hunts for around 0 per day, and even some leases for around 0 per season (usually these suck). If you've got the money, look for some established leases in the newspapers. They can range anywhere from 0 to 00 per gun. Again, a gun is no good if you don't have a place to shoot it (preferably with birds on it or flying by).

1-pump shotgun @ 0, 1- public land permit @

3. Hunting license

I don't think this needs too much elaboration. Depending on your state, should be around .

1-pump shotgun @ 0, 1- public land permit @ , 1- hunting license @ ,

4.Accessories:

You can really go crazy here if you want, but there are a few 'must haves'.

Shells. I could write a novel on this, but to start just buy some 8 shot dove load. Buy a case (10 boxes), should be around .
Bird/bullet bag.Probably a three pouch camo, .
Chair. Get a comfortable one. They are cheap max.
Camo clothing. Depending on your climate, you'll need pants and a shirt. The more pockets the better. You might want to buy some boots too. We'll say 0.
Other accessories you might want to get could be a water bottle (camo, of course), flashlight, hunting vest, a new cooler (to put all your birds you kill in), camo hat, and polarized sunglasses. For now i won't figure these into cost.
1-pump shotgun @ 0, 1- public land permit @ , 1- hunting license @ , 1-set of accessories @ 5.

That's it! The grand total to get you into business is around 0. It sounds like a lot, but if you don't wait until the last minute you can budget it in over time.

In the next article, I'll cover what to do to get started dove hunting.

I'll cover that after I RELOAD!
