My shop as a corrugated metal roof... What is the best way to vent the stove pipe out without leaks? All of the solutions at lowes were for a shingle or flat roof... the corrugation will not allow the flashing to seal... :headscrat

This isn't something that will have a one true answer... I'm not asking for what my building would cost, just what you spent. I am looking at options on a new facility for my company and playing with the idea of building from scratch. Thinking between 40x80 to 60x100, with plans for an easy...

Am I the only fabricator that can't stand an auto darkening helmet? I guess after years of flash burn... I use a $30 miller helmet day in day out, way less flash burn.

Yup I use one of those for my (mics bits.) Here is my setup. Black and decker box is all wood bits Black box is all masonry bits red box is Matco warrantied Cobalt bits up to 1/2 gray box is all 3/8 bits (I have about 100) wood box is 1/2 to 1" by 1/8" transfer punces in front of wood box...

Case red tractor paint should be damn close... get it at Tractor Suppy Co.

Tractor supply is a ood place to get SAE stuff for cheap... They sell it by the pound. I think I'm giving like $4 a pound for SAE Gr8 and $2.75 for Gr5. Their washers are nice too... thick and fit well.

beat me to it. LOL :D

You are spending a **** load then... I have one too, I spend about 300% more there than if my supplier sells me the same thing. Only issue is my supplier is about two hours away so if I need something quick I'm stuck spending a **** ton at "Fasten'some"

Oh and you should know better than to go to sears or lowes looking for hose clamps... exxon would have been better than that. Did you not try a parts store... autozone, napa, O'reilly's, Advance?

find a large hardware supplier in your area and get set up with an account. usualy for a few hundred bucks they can set you up with the baisics and you can add to that as you need to.

Thats a bad idea... As I learned. I grew super attached, then he was killed. :(

I can't say I really ever hire out much of anything... I try to keep everything in house. I have a very good background though. I'm 23. I'm ASE certified, I've been fabricating and have been building race cars, rock crawlers, and doing gerneral automotive work for 10 years now. I can do just...

If you go to their web site its all listed... But looking at what he has in the pictures... roughly $17,000 before shipping.

I just went up there yester day and they didn't have those... I'll have to see if they were just out.

Yes I was told mine were from WWII and are surplus military. some of my shelves say "danger safty" in military style script. They came from a military surplus auction here in AR. I had never seen the drawrs but I knew they had some kind of fixture that bolted in since they have rows of 5/16"...
