I thought I was crazy at first but the air hose in the shop is shocking me. Not sure if it's static or a short in the wiring. It only happens to a couple of the guys in the shop. If your holding the airhose or a tool plugged into it and touch the workbench....it will shock you. Most of the...

An electrician once told me you are better off to leave your flourecent lghts on if you are just leaving the garage for a little while. He said they use the same amount of power in 8 hours as it takes to turn them on. Is this BS or fact? Clark

John...That guy has to move his chimney because of 7 1/4 inches. How do you sleep at night? Our country is going to hell QUICK!!!!!! There is townships around here like that. I refuse to buy into areas like that. Clark

It has a full basement. It's actually 36' wide but has a 1' tall beam supporting the middle. We would have no plans for a lift but do have a frame table. The table would never have a complete car on it just the frame and maybe the body. A car on jackstands isn't any different than a car on...

We're looking at an old building that has a wood floor. We need a little help with a few things. The building would be used for building hot rods. The wood floor poses two problems. First is wether it will support the wieght of a cars and the equipment. The joists are 2x12 on 16" centers and...

Here's two I did for a friend. Big block Chevy valve cover and a Mercury Cruiser Fenderskirt. I didn't do the neon. Clark

I use black beauty. I'm pretty sure there is no silica in it. I get it from a local blacktopping business. Clark

I had it on the ceiling in my old garage. It worked good for insulation but when you use a wire brush wheel in a grinder the wire flies out and sticks in the ceiling. Clark

A friend has an old cigar factory that he converted into his home. It's a really cool place. It was on Rezoned on HGTV. He uses the second floor as his home. I don't know the square footage or anything. It's got 13' tall ceillings. Most of the wall he has to devide the rooms only go up 8'...

Here's a shot of the garage. I want to put it on the side without the doors. I was figuring a metal beam sitting on large metal posts with a wood framed roof on top of it. Clark

Funny thing about that Coke sign...it was used as a lid for a huge BBQ pit. Clark

I don't think code is a problem. I'm in a small township and had no inspections when I built the garage. Clark

I want to build a carport on the front of my garage. The idea is to make it look like an old gas station. My orignal plan was to use just two posts with a beam. The garage is 32 long where the carport will go. I wanted to put the poles in 8' from each end leaving 16' in the middle. This would...

I'm close to York. Paul :beer: Clark

Thanks guys! The Willys sign was actually being used as flooring in an old barn at one of my favorite junkyards. The chopped T is the only one that is mine. The Tall T will be leaving next week. I just built a chassis for it. The A coupe is just about ready to get painted. Here's an old pic...
