Woodturning - Lathe (Delta 46-460 With Casters) / Old Dog Ramp - Let's Figure This Out
The shop in my southern location is only 75 square feet so I added casters to my Delta 46-460 Wood Lathe so I can take it outside and use it. The problem is I have steps to deal with and the lathe is just too awkward for steps.
Also my dog is getting pretty old so anything I can do to help her out, I will.
So I need to make a ramp. I've never made a ramp and I also want to use materials on hand. That will help de clutter my small space and keep me from going out into the public.

1997 GMC Safari Crank - No Start When Cold Outside - Let' Figure This Out
My 1997 GMC Safari will crank but not start in cold weather. Since it just started getting cold, it's time to see if we can figure this out.
Since we had to wait for parts and cold weather, it took a couple of weeks to make this video. Which is why I kept repeating the myself. Sorry.
I also kept forgetting what I paid for the parts so here is the information:
Crankshaft Position Sensor, which I kept calling a "crankshaft positioning sensor": $11.99
Ignition Coil: $18.70
Both were purchased from Amazon (Not a Sponsor)
The photo of the 1997 GMC Safari is from an ad in AutoTrader
