    Need advice on Metal Building

    @RazrRebel what did you end up doing? I am in the pre planning stage of a building and can't decide on a all metal frame building or a post frame.

    Dreaming of a new garage

    Got my bid back from my buddy who built my current garage, He came in at 36K without electric or insulation. So he is at $26.60 sqft, so I am clearly going to be pushed over my $40K budget. I really don't want to down size but it looks like I am going to have too, unless I go to an all metal...

    Please critique my 30x40 shop design!

    Have you priced the spray foam by a professional? I am putting numbers to paper right now for myself in hopes of building a 30x45x12 building. I talked to a contractor the other day and he told me it would cost $10K to spray it. That blew my $40K budget up, so I am rethinking mine. I am also...

    Dreaming of a new garage

    I am wanting to build a 30x45x12 building, I have a budget of $40K to do it with, I've gotten quotes from FB ads for an all metal building. One with 6" concrete 2 9x8 doors and a man door of $30K, still have to run electric, insulation and a mini split. I've gotten a quote of $16k for just a...

    Pipe to use with my air compressor

    I am just now starting to plumb my garage for air. So for everyone using PEX or one of the Amazon systems, are you using any copper or black pipe to "cool" the air before tying in pex system? I do sandblasting and powder coating (hobby) I just want to make sure I do the system right the first time.

    New air compressor issues

    I finally broke down and bought myself a 60 AC, I have been using a 15 gallon craftsman for 20 plus years. I am a hobbyist powdercoater and sandblaster, but I was using my SB yesterday and noticed that I had a bunch of water mixing in, so I hit the tank drain and orange goop come flying out...

    New Hobby Based Langmuir Systems Plasma Table $995

    I've been eyeing one of these for a while now, I want it just to play with, same reason I bought my laser. I bought it to play with now I am using it everyday and making "folding money" with it. I figure I can do the same with the plasma cutter too. If nothing else I can make cool things to hang...

    Plasma cutter

    Well....all of you are out of my price range. The ones offered with the table are 500-700 dollar plasma cutter. Would like to stay in that range. Probably will be able to stay in that range as long as I commit to cutting thinner metal.

    Plasma cutter

    Oh yea...1/2 inch is to heavy for a sign. I will be cutting thin stuff 99% of the time, but if someone need a part for something heavier I'd like to be able to cut it. Kind of overkill......

    Plasma cutter

    I already know what table I am buying, they offer a plasma cutter with it, but I haven't read good things about them. I should have stated the fact that I know what table I am getting....sorry. https://store.langmuirsystems.com/products/crossfire-cnc

    Plasma cutter

    I am looking into getting a hobby plasma cutting table. I don't need a high dollar one, just something that will work well for my needs of cutting up to 1/2 inch for sign etc. Will be cutting thinner stuff more than anything. Thanks in advance.

    Pressure washer mainly for washing cars at home

    I seen that when I bought the washer, and told myself I should buy that.....I didn't. But I will, and would like a long hose as well.

    Pressure washer mainly for washing cars at home

    I have always hired someone to pressure wash my concrete pool deck, it's large. This year figured I'd do it.I bought the one in the link for $99 from HD. 1600 psi electric it's very compact and lite. I used it for about 6 hours straight on pool deck and vinyl fence, worked like a charm. I was...
