Re: Restored 1930's Auto Shop

Re: garage refurb

Re: garage refurb

:eyecrazy: $12.50 for a Drill Doctor!?! Congrats on a great grab Eric! I NEVER fall into deals like that. I did get a Lincoln ProMig 140 for $250 new from a pawn shop, but I can't take credit for the...

Re: Pole Barn Build In Progress!!!

Great build! :thumbup: Do you have any plans for a foundation/ground treatment to stop the roof runoff from eroding the ground? Or are you planning for gutters/downspouts?

Re: Show us your welding projects

Both the 80 and 160 cf cylinders were 7" diameter when I spec'd them both out a while back. This held true with several vendors. Height on the 160 was within an inch or so of what is noted above.

That was an old recliner out of one of our other substations. We were in the process of gutting it and rebuilding the living quarters. The old furniture made its way out to my station while the work...

Re: Show us your welding projects

I generally do this, minus the rust converter step. I've had good luck with a quality primer coat on top of the bare metal when it is cleaned and scored properly. A very fine grit flap disc usually...

Re: 30x40 Pole Barn in a Michigan winter - It has begun!

That is a good deal. Sahara edition to boot! I bought a '97 new when they first came out in the fall of '96. I really enjoyed it. I think my YJ is easier to work on though. :D That guy selling the YJ...

Re: 30x40 Pole Barn in a Michigan winter - It has begun!

Yeah, easy fix. I did it to mine, but it was much easier when done as part of my tub off project a while back. What year YJ? You probably already have, but check the frame at the steering box and...
