The carpenter pencil is more than a pencil; it’s an all-purpose marking instrument, a spacer, a scribing tool, and the perfect accompaniment to a tape measure.
While holding those four points so they don’t fall off, put the pushpin through the center hole and into the eraser on the end of your pencil. You’ll want to make sure it’s pushed in far enough that it won’t fall out, but loose enough that the pinwheel can still freely spin. ...
David Hasselhoffhas said that he enjoyed his shortlived stint onDancing With The Stars. The formerBaywatchactor became the first celebrity to exit the ABC competition last night after scoring 15 out of 30 points for his cha cha on Monday's season premiere. During an appearance onGood Morning...
The one in our 2007 and another from the junk yard will make maybe one full turn before stopping if spun with a finger or pencil. At least the one in our 2007 still works, which may just indicate that the motor is sufficiently powerful to spin despite the drag. The "dirt" that fell...
Graphite powder, which you can similarly topically apply with a soft pencil or artists' graphite stick, is a better dry lubricant - but it turns everything black and conducts electricity, which may or may not be desirable. Talc is also a high-temperature electrical insulator. You could easily...
If this is a little confusing, you could note which side is which on the boomerang itself by using a pencil. You can always sand the writing off later or paint over it. To get the trailing edge airfoil shape, hold the boomerang at a shallow angle as you pass it over the bench ...
Use a pencil to mark the forward and aft edge of your platform. You want to make the pattern long enough so that you can see and edge on both ends. This will give you a spot for attaching the platform to the bottom of the deck, which will be discussed later on. Remove the cannon...
It's based on one of the laws of physics and mechanics: it takes more force (as in torque and horsepower) to set a heavy object in motion than it would to spin a lightweight object. Therefore, in pulling, the wheel weights will cause the rear tires to lose a lot of momentum (...
Spend the day looking for green. When you see something green, describe it in your journal (which you'll want to carry around for the day so you don't forget your green things). Example: Thegreengrass in front of the old red-brick house no one will buy. Thegreen-yellow bananas lying...
(used in things like factory machines) work in a slightly different way: they pass alternating current through opposing pairs of magnets to create a rotating magnetic field, which "induces" (creates) a magnetic field in the motor's rotor, causing it to spin around. You can read more about...
