    Vintage Edco concrete grinder

    I picked up this Edco grinder today. $30.00. Got it home & everything rotates properly. Need to replace and/or rebuild the cutting blades. Any info on parts? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Black iron pipe working pressure?

    Try to source American made black pipe. The quality is far superior for a marginal price increase. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Gas vs battery lawnmowers

    I use a corded electric mower. You can pickup used specimens in excellent condition for $50 or less. The cut is acceptable and convenience is high. Hose the underside occasionally and sharpen the blade each season. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Garage Door Size Question 8' vs 7'

    The price difference is negligible at this point. As has been said before, you’ll regret the 7’ door over the 8’. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Anyone have experience with Bosch 18v drill & driver?

    I picked these up today. Clean and in good shape but no batteries & charger. Any other brand batteries fit? Before I commit to obtaining batteries & charger, looking for feedback. Tnx! Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Quality Tape Measure?

    Stanley has a superior warranty. I picked up a 25’ Kobalt at Lowe’s a while back. I like it for clean work. Numbers on both sides. Magnet tip is great if needed otherwise can be a nuisance. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Air compressor gasket part, difficult to find.

    I was doing service on a Rollaire 75 air compressor. One of the oil lines has a metal coupling with one of these metal reinforced seals on each end. I’m unable to source them. Any help? Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Installing light duty chain hoist support to 2”x12” rafters.

    I needed to unload a Reed 208 vise from my truck, so I lagged some steel shelf supports to my rafters. Temporary solution. I’m going to mount an 8’ length of Unistrut and buy or fab one of the 4 bearing trolleys for it. That should be good for roughly 600 lbs. My issue is that the rafters...

    Service (side) door - wood or steel doorframe?

    Since you have easy access in the inside, you could double up the 2x4 frame plus add cross braces in the critical areas, use the strongest hardware you could find and have it swing out. Easiest & quickest imo. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app
