    Took the plunge to try Eastwoods MIG 175with spoolgun

    Just ordered this today. I don't have a tank for gas. Can I use it out of the box or do i need to get some flux core wire first? I have a project that needs attention quick so i would like to use it when it gets here.

    should I?

    I may be able to pick up one of these. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/SPEEDAIRE-Two-Stage-5Z405 It will not turn over. I was thinking of getting it and rebuilding it. The Grainger says 10hp but I found another site that says 5-15hp. Anyone know if I could use it on my Quincy tank with a 5hp...

    Good lowes fluorescent light

    I bought the 8ft 4 bulb T8 fixtures. Can get a item number if needed. $38 a piece I believe. No problems at all, no flicker, or hard starting. Dont have my radio out there yet so not sure about interference.

    Cutting a garage door

    I think I would just adjust those upper rollers to get your clearance then add a piece of trim and weatherstrip to the outside to fill the gap.

    used Quincy compressor

    Picked up a used Quincy compressor of CL. Not sure how old but it says AirStar on it. 5HP with an 80 gal tank. Seemed a little slow to pump up to 100lbs, but I ran out of time. The next day I turned it back on and timed it. It took 4 minutes to go from 100lbs to 175lbs. I emailed the local...

    Garage layout ideas

    I would definatley go with at least 10ft doors if not wider, with the width you have. I also installed 4 skylights for added natural light, it makes a big difference with no windows.
