I would put in the inserts myself - but if you are worried then consider these

Never needed any myself, but heavier friends love them.

The quick and dirty method for 3 phase on single in europe is Rewire the motor from star to delta. Wire neutral and live to two of the points and put a capacitor (sorry you will have to use google to find the value) between the remaining point and live. My grinder is wired this way - no guts startin...

Looks almost identical to an old Winterstiger I used to use - may well be a rebranded one. Motor looks 3 phase - but I could be wrong - If you don't have 3 phase you can go with a phase converter running off 220v or even a bit of trickery involving some capacitors - you end up with almost no startin...

Ok that's just awesome. As a bonus you could change the tuning of the strings to change the stiffness/camber of the board! The Lego board looks pretty epic too Guitar necks have a truss rod inside to change the shape of the neck. Why not for skiis and boards? I've been braining that for a while. Th...

Maybe this will be my next project? Sounds interesting. Will any Diesel engine do? Yes any diesel will do - the more complex (new) your engine, the more sophisticated (precise) the system has to be. Cold veg oil in a common rail diesel at -5C will do a lot of expensive damage quickly. @Idris: do yo...

Anyone run an alternative fuel/energy vehicle
Anyone driving anything different to the norm? I have a VW caravelle TDI (Eurovan in NA) running a twin tank veg oil conversion (Grease car in NA) I'm going to teach myself how to make biodeisel so I don't have to buy pump diesel for starting and stopping. I'm luck here in Chamonix - quite a few res...

a bit off topic, but it kinda fits here: for the guys who do full length woodcores and use bent aluminum molds...how do you hold down your cores during lay-up? or do you prebend the cores as well? Used to prebend my tips with a hot water and a jig (davide explained this with pics somewhere) Prebent...

Sorry Ben_mtl - I am lazy Skis - Bouqetin is what I call them - like the mountain animal they are named after (you may know it as an Ibex or Stienbock) they are supposed to be powerful masters of the mountain.
