Wow, will you adopt me. I'm only 54. I can still mow yards and wash your cars. You are THE MAN.

When Sweating joints is there a better solder to use or do you just use what the plumbers use. Will the lead solder stand the 120-150 PSI without failing? Just curious as what to use. Thanks

The AOSmith is an Americam made motor, the compressor is Cast Iron (won't be too loud), and it depends on how the pully ratio is as to how fast the compressor spins. All in all I think this is a decent buy, I would check the welds on the tank to be sure that they are smooth and look good. Go for...

In my job we run Vacume lines 2"- 3" to printing presses as Well as high pressure compressed air. The press manufactures state that it is better to use two 45 degree elbows as opposed to one 90 degree elbow. Their train of thought is that there is less restriction when making the turns with this...

Thanks, I didn't know I could do that.......I still might not can. I was thinking there might be a program that I could buy that I could do more with; maybe one that had drawings or pictures that alowed me to place benches or equipment around, print them out and change them untill I had a...

Check out the Impalla SS web Site, lots of usefull info, as well as parts at discounts, I think they are located in your area. NAISSO National Association of Impalla Super Sport Owners. Can't remember their webb address try Google. I have a Black 95 SS I would let a professional do the...

Hey Guys, has anyone found an inexpensive (less than $100.00) softwear program to do layouts and floor plans for placement of tool , lifts, benches, ect.? My shop is 29' X 25' and I would like to plan the best use of the floor space I can. I would like to draw/plan different layouts to see what...

Like your plans, looks as if you have put a lot of thought into them. Glass blocks is a novel idea, I may steal that idea for a later update to my shop. The 26 feet looks tight for three long vehicles. if your trusses are on 2' centers can you push out 1 more truss and go 28'? I think that 2...

Thanks Guys!! I thought it was some type of formula but wasn't sure what it was. I thought I could put at least 6 on a 15 amp breaker, but it is good to know I am good for at least 9-10 which is more than I was planning on.

Hey Guys, Setting up new lights in my shop, guess I'm going to use the 8' 2 tube fixtures. Shop is 24' X 29" w/ 11' ceilings, I am considering 3 rows of 3 8' lights per row. I was going to set the outside 3 on each side (6 total) on 1 15amp. breaker. The center 3 lights on it's own 15 amp...

I think the tank was partially under pressure when the line froze. The shop wasn't heated either and it was about 20 degrees inside and out. When we ran the compressor it just kept running untill it exploded it was one of those 20 gallon horizontal tank versions. When it exploded it sounded...

Do you have a floor there now or are you saying that you could put some type of flooring down to set the compressor on? Also how are you going to get it up there? These things are heavy. Wouldn't you have a freezing problem with condensation in the winter? Even here in NC I had a small...
