Thanks for all of the info. I will let you know how it turns out.

Did you actually paint the fabric as well?

I have a 4’ chain link fence around my front yard. The post are all set into a concrete strip footing and not easy to change out. I am wanting to remove the current chain link fabric, paint the existing galvanized posts black, and then install new, black chain link fabric with new, black...

There is a place in the Seattle area that, kinda, has/does something like this. Check it out here ——-> https://theshopclubs.com/

I picked up an apartment sized washer/dryer combo for cheap. Set it up in the shop and use “the purple stuff” as a detergent. It doesn’t use a ton of water and I run, what waste water there is, through a makeshift oil/water separator. I do use paper towels when building engines but to the lint...

“Flipping it over”? Do you mean running it backwards? I have never done anything like that before. What does it accomplish? And the saw that I would use is a $300 portable setup from Home Depot. Nothing special.

So I am looking for a blade to use in my table saw to cut through some 2” rigid foam that is enclosed in fiberglass. I know that it sounds a bit strange but I got an unlimited supply of door sections that I want to use to insulation one of my outbuildings. (Basically, a door company has solid...

The prices they show on the website are wholesale prices. They sell them that way online just to compete with everyone else selling online. Many times you can get this price when buying in person if you ask the right person. I have worked at several dealerships and not a single one would...

I currently have my compressor in the back corner of my shop. However, it is loud and I am looking to move it. I am thinking about building a "shed" outside off the back of the building to house it. Not to completely hijack the thread but what requirements are there for this type of thing? Is...

I assembled these stools that I found at a garage sale over the weekend. Paid $75 for the 3, brand new in the box stools, an electric buffer with multiple pads, and a brand new in box chainsaw chain sharpener. I feel like that was a pretty good deal.

I used to drink Dr. Pepper out of plastic, 16oz bottles. I had a friend that used chewing tobacco and spit in a similar bottle. I don't drink Dr. Pepper anymore.

I have a couple of these as well. They are great for engine and transmission assembly. They clean up very well.

Congrats!! Now, can we get a complete list of all engineers and their specialities so that the rest of us who want free help/advice know where, exactly, to go? :thumbup:

Ahh, I didn't see the rack when I first looked at it. That makes sense then. :thumbup:

I worked at Chevy for some time and nobody in the shop picked up the trucks by the spring perches. All trucks were lifted up by the frames. Due to the way some of the frames curved upwards around the rear of the cab, the lift arms often looked just like this picture. In the many years that I was...
