Agree, had an issue with our 12 year old in-floor scissor lift. Called, described my issue, he asked "what color control board". Two days later the new controller was in my shop.

Apparently with the south doors open my shop functions as a very efficient horn loaded speaker. While visiting at the hardware store yesterday the neighbor 3/8 mile across the creek valley commented "been enjoying your run through the Pink Floyd catalog."

Have picked up a couple at auction over the years. Hypertherm Powermax 1000G3, 60 amp. Thermal Dynamics A120. 120 amp. Have hand and machine torches for both.

Sorry, already left the barn.

Saying goodby to an old friend! This was my first plasma, purchased as part of the GJ group buy years ago. It's a survivor. Given the amount of 1/2" plate I cut over the years the magic smoke should have escaped long ago. It's going to a good home, hope it serves them well for many more years.

I'll join in for this discussion hoping to get some good ideas as we go. My original plan was a JD table, something I could cut prototype parts with for the repair/modification of our aging farm equipment, and then send the file off to my steel supplier to cut the bulk of the parts. After...

I'm in. They would be a great addition to our recently built 3 stall garage. The daily drivers are still in shock after dealing with the elements for the past decade.

The lower seals of our shop doors have been damaged by small mammals. They chew thru the corner nearest to wooded habitat. We have farm cats but there is only so much they can do, they do love to deposit their nightly catch on our back porch. I need to replace the seals, wondered if anyone has...

Ignore the bold print, don't know how that happened.

Our drop axle trailers have self-adjust brake assemblies. Have gotten several sets from etrailer.

"Quickcable" cast copper terminals, heavy glue filled shrink tube and the Temco crimper listed above. I prefer the stud style terminals when possible.

One of these has been on top of our dumpster for longer than I can remember. Current cost $1.30

Where did I park the Delorean?

Wirsbo A is my go to. Have used in our shop, outbuildings and several complete house projects. For occasional projects the manual expander is fine, usually available on ebay for $100 +/-

Aluminum intercooler piping - sounds like a job for an AC Tig unit. Steeper learning curve but much handier than a mig spool gun. DC tig for the exhaust piping and light fabrication. The Lincoln should handle the on-site 3/16" work for your porch. Primeweld 225X for $869 gets my vote.
