I searched but couldn't find a prior thread for my exact problem, If I missed it I apologize. In the basement of the house we have purchased the previous owner had roughed in most of the outlets and lights but never completed the hook up. I've got a bundle of wires hanging down at the panel...

Good morning all, If this is covered elsewhere I apologize but I have a few questions regarding wiring in a subpanel for the basement wood shop. Any help would be appreciated. I helped my dad who was an electrician but over the last 45 years things have become a bit fuzzy. Here are my...

I'm planning my garage build for later this year and I've developed an interest in bladesmithing. Does anyone have a forging area attached to their garage and beyond the fire potential are there any other considerations I should be thinking about? Thanks, Glen

That's a beautiful 73. What engine option?

Sorry I'm not sure why that wouldn't rotate correctly.

Everyone, I appreciate all of the info. I pulled down the studded section today and I'll get started on redoing it next weekend. I got lucky in that none of the other basement walls had anything done with them. DC here's Ginger or as the wife calls her "the Other Woman". Other cars may come...

We've just purchased house with a full basement. I plan on turning one end into a 18' x 36' wood shop. I've never had a basement before and the previous owner had done some work. I'm not sure about the existing insulation against the foundation wall. He ran a 2 x 4 stud wall flush against the...

Sounds like a great offer. Email sent. Thanks! Glen

What I'm being told is that I'll have to increase the length of the adjustment slots by drilling or machining to get the bolts to line up with the engine. This is my first British engine so I'm learning as I go.

I'm looking for an engine stand to use while restoring the Jensen Healey. I've talked to a few manufactures and it looks as though I would have modify their stands to work with this bolt spacing. Is anyone aware of a standard engine stand that will work on British engines without mods? Thanks...

When I was in a woodworking class in school I was using a power mortise machine that lowered the bit via a foot pedal. I set the machine up, put the wood in, cut it on and had the feeling that something wasn't right. Cut it off and completely checked the set up. I went through this routine three...

Good morning everyone, My name is Glen from Douglasville, GA. I've been enjoying the forum for a while and have gotten some great ideas. I having to make do with a two car attached garage for the time being. I managed to do all the work on my Corvette while sharing space with woodworking and...
