Being a newb myself, I thought Id chime in. I will say that I was shocked that this forum did not have a minimum post requirement to place an ad in the classifieds. Ive been a member of sites that require as few as 10 and as many as 50. As others have mentioned, yes you can acquire that many...

Up for sale are a couple of tool lots that I have put together by category. What you see is the result of my personal collection rightsizing and liquidation of stuff that I just dont use. While in the past I would have just held onto all of this I have other interests that I would like to...

Im late coming into this. I did a fluorescent to high bay swap a few years back. I had multi tap fixtures so the voltage wasnt an issue. Only problem I ran into was amperage draw on the circuit. I previously had 6 pair of 8' bulbs on one circuit. When I swapped them all over they would all...

I shot you a PM, hope that helps

Hello from West Lafayette!

Im working on restoring this piece as a tool chest versus going out and buying something new. It was purpose built at a clay factory and was bought by a local vintage furniture dealer here in town. Its missing two drawers but they will be simple enough to build. Solid oak, I just wish I had...

jetmech09 - I like the visual management/5S in your box. We were always doing that at Toyota I like the provisions for what appears to be Calvin & Hobbs comic strip cutouts :p

I think these are all good ideas, it's just how much work you want to put into it and how much you want to spend. I think slate tile could potentially look good and a contrasting paint color would probably be the easiest but for whatever reason I recall some trim that was at our local tire shop...

I set up an area for tuggers and other battery powered equipment in an industrial environment. I had a navy blue and orange pattern (former employer's company colors) I would have team members sweep and mop them daily. In a residential setting, obviously this wouldnt need to be done as often...

I ran into this when I tiled our porch recently. I had a handful of tiles that needed cut but I didnt want to have to buy a saw just to have it sit unused after the project. As other members have mentioned, you can use a tile scorer. They are very cheap. I think mine was under $20. This is...

These are pricey but very nice. Id think there would have to be some sort of comparable product out there. Maybe search high density foam sheets on ebay. The non-slip liners you get at Sears just dont cut it, Im always having to straighten them...

I used to live in Granger and was at the AM General Hummer H2 plant. I was also into Civics, my last project was a boosted EK hatch. That was about 6 years ago. I tried to do a rebuild in my rented garage at my apartment. That didnt work too well lol. This was the most complete pic I could find

Wera Zyklop 3/8" 8100 SB4 Standard Socket Set Wera Zyklop 3/8" 8100 SB2 Metric Socket Set I have quite a few brand new tools I could trade and of course I can be a cash paying customer. These sets are on ebay but I figured if a member here had them and wanted to part with them we could help...

I dont know enough about concrete to tell you if it's correctable or not. I remember watching a show on HGTV where someone had an uneven floor poured in their garage and they were able to pour on top of it. I would say even if you could pour enough on top of what you have to make it even it...

I just wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself. I joined this site awhile back but just started checking out the forums and the information this site has to offer. My history is mostly working as a project manager in the automotive manufacturing industry. My most recent projects...
