That would make sense. Filter is in good shape. I replace them every month roughly, as I use filters that are 3 for $5... Haha. The furnace filter opening is 20x20. To temporarily improve my situation I've removed the return air ducting after the elbow where it upsweeps to the ceiling... I'm...

Hey guys, My small 900 sq. ft. home is heated with a BROAN 10KW electric furnace that was put in around the year 2008. It's very basic with no electronic circuit board or 2 stage blower like modern electric furnaces have. I've had a trouble with heat output for the longest time, and I'm...

Re: "Blueing" a steel table?? Thanks for the help! Sure I'm finding information on the web, but most of what I find is for small objects, and art related projects. Some of the techniques aren't really suited to working with thick steel. That's why I continued to seek advice here. You've...

Re: "Blueing" a steel table?? Oh yeah? Perfect! I'll have to change the title to reflect this new information! LOL. Thanks! Derek.

Re: "Blueing" a steel table?? Yeah I assume the process may be similar. I would like to get info from someone that's familiar or has experience putting this finish on a large surface. Derek.

At work we've got this steel work table that's been treated or "blued". It's got a slight shine to it and the surface is fairly smooth. It only corrodes where a grinder has made contact with the table and removed the finish. Very durable, and not something that can be wiped off. I'm told that...

Well that's good. Maybe I will flip the jaws to hide the chip. That's a good idea. These Vises go for what, $530 new? I feel like I did okay. Thanks for the info! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I picked up this 1765 for $315 U.S. Did I do alright? I'm quite sure it's the real thing. Wilton badge appears to be missing. Derek. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm looking to purchase these two Proto wrench sets: -J1200F-T500 (15 piece) -J1200RM-T500 (17 Piece) I'm looking for high quality, polished wrench sets like these. The snap-on sets are just too much right now, with the market the way it is. I'm not a profesional technician, but I am into...

I like the idea of using a self-levelling concrete like MG-Krete, and maybe some cheap version of RaceDeck, but after thinking about it for a while I can't really justify it on this garage... I think I'll go the Hydraulic cement or Sikagrout route.... I wouldn't want to go the caulking route for...

Hello, I like to lurk a bit, don't post much. Great website, and awesome resource. I've fixed up a small garage on my property so I'll have a warm work space over the winter months. This garage floor was poured in 1960. No re-bar or mesh reinforcement here... As you'll see in the following...

Some of that mining equipment you guys are working on looks very interesting. I wouldn't mind getting into that kind of work. Jacob, very nice job on that floor, I might have some questions for you, when I decide to do mine! Rebuilt the engine and upgraded/repaired anything that needed...

I'm plan to be spanning 50 feet unsupported in my shop for a loft/apartment. Posts not an option on my layout. 2x10 bottom chord. I may share details once the truss company gets back to me. Are you building walls on your second level, or is this second level incorporated into the truss? If...

I like the style of your shop. What does the loft look like? Derek.

I believe we were all on the same page as to which product we were talking about, but thanks for clarifying! Derek.
