I grabbed an adaptor off of eBay or Amazon that lets me run my DeWalt 20v batteries in the C2/C3 tools. It was approx $25 and seems to work well so far. My only minor concern there is that DeWalt doesn’t have the under voltage protection circuit in their batteries, that is in their tools. I...

In the car audio world, I use an impact crimper (hammer style) for doing 4ga thru 2/0 like this...

In a Plano box, it is what they call a 3500 series size tray. https://www.planomolding.com/fishing/stowaway-utility-boxes/rustrictor-3500 In Flambeau it is a 3003. @ Harbor Freight it is called a "small" (The latches on the HF boxes are a pain in the **** though - YMMV) -...

....annnnd I'm finally caught up. Took me a couple of weeks to get through the whole thread. Awesome space, and many cool toys. I hope to be designing something in the 24'x48' range by year's end if everything goes well. Will carry a couple of your ideas with me down that path!

I'll check it out - my current 12x18 is a similar gabled "barn" style but the side walls top out at 7'6" or so. The attic/loft is floored so I do have a lot of stuff crammed up there. I'll definitely check the site out - thanks! I can't imagine not using at least some portion the loft area on...

That looks nice Redragoon! I'm intrigued by the polebarn approach where you pour the slab after the posts go in. I just don't see that type of construction in these parts, but I also don't build many shops and have few friends who do. A buddy just did a pole barn/shed but he has no intention...

Hey all, thanks for the feedback. Especially on wall height - my current barn has barely 7'6" ceiling, so 10' would seem much bigger to me, but I'm game for a 12' as well. Added my info to my user page. This is going in Northeast Louisiana for those asking. Here's a quickie Google Earth shot...

Yeah, I'm in the land acquisition and leasing business for cellular carriers, my favorite thing to hear when I talk to a zoning and planning office is "We have no zoning restrictions in our (city/parish/county), nor do we have any requirement for building permit or inspection." That makes my...

Hola all, Here's the situation - current house has a 12x18 barn on a slab that is crammed full of all of my tools, bikes, woodworking stuff, supplies, and honestly, it is more storage at this point, I have to take any woodworking or big projects out into the yard. The wife and I are...

This. I have a handful of the 19.3 stuff, drill, rt angle drill, brad nailer, flashlight, impact driver, recip. I need to grab a couple more batteries, but I can always have them rebuilt. Tempted to grab one of those DeWalt 20v to c3 adapters off ebay though. I have moved to DeWalt's 20v max...

Good to hear - mine must just be behind the curve on getting stocked up. But, even their Kobalt supply had dwindled down to not a lot of individual selection. Might just be the way of things, at least local to me.

I have a bunch of older C-man stuff, mostly all USA made. Sears was always the easy route to warranty if something broke, but my local big-box Sears closed the doors a few months back. My local Sears hometown store has a big "Available" sign out front. I thought they were closed. I had the...

Howdy, Looking through my toolbox I dug out a pair of planes that belonged to my grandfather, figured I'd give it a shot at identifying them. The smaller one, obviously a Stanley - H1247 - easy enough to ID. Need to tune it up and get it back in shape. The bigger one - only marking it...

Awesome - got it, plus the socket - ~$65 in the cart Had a $25 gift card, and needed extra stuff to get to $75 to apply a $10 coupon, so got another socket,and a router bit. Added Save15, then threw $11 of SYW points in. $45.** taxed and shipped. Not bad.
