Gregor, for what it's worth I asked my brother to take a look at this thread to see if he had any input on the heat treating... he is a Metallurgical Engineer. This was his response. This is my favorite thread on the internet and has been for a couple years... I always look forward to your...

Wow! That is all I can say... Any updates?

Any finished pictures? I enjoyed skimming through your blog (haven't had time to fully read everything yet)... and thanks, now I want to go get a welder!

I know this is an old thread and you've probably (long ago) bought your tops, but I've just recently come across this supplier while looking for new kitchen countertops. http://www.perfectplank.com/index.html Seems to be very reasonably priced (Ikea cheap for some woods)! Though I'm waiting...

I was able to finish the fence and while I was at it I decided to make a thien separator because the sawdust was getting ridiculous! It seems to work really well... only the finest mdf dust gets into the vacuum.

It looks and feels like quality. I haven't actually used it yet, but the eight adjustment screws to get it level work really well. I hope so... otherwise I'm going to have to lie about it or the wife would kill me! There is t-track on both the side and top of the fence so I figured I would use...

I just wanted to show off my latest craigslist finds and project. Got the 3650 from a guy that bought it new about 6 years ago and used it once for a small cabinet project. I think I got a decent deal at $180. I found the 893 for $100 and it doesn't look like it has been used much. First...

Sorry Mike, I forgot to check for that when I had the panel open. Can the power vent kits be used with both the furnace and the hot water heater? Or is the water heater a whole other animal? I appreciate the help!

I found the a unit information brochure for the furnace and under optional accessories there is a sidewall power venting kit (79J15) listed. I'm assuming this means it can be vented out the wall?

The furnace is a Lennox 80mfg4-75a-7 and the hot water heater is a Rheem 21v40s-8.

Cool, that means I have some options on shrinking that space then! Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the info! Are the flexible insulated air ducts considered flammable?

Not sure this is allowed since this isn't about my garage... but any advice would be much appreciated!:beer: I've tried reading up on georgia hvac codes, but I can't make heads or tails of them. I'm trying to figure out if I can condense a 4ftx2ft space that goes from the basement up to the...

I thought that was a little wierd... though I don't know if the pump I posted is what I have because I can't find any other number other than the serial number. So is it better to get a safety valve that is under the max pump psi? If so how much? Or is this the appropriate valve (assuming my...

Valve says 135 psi.
