    Looking sturdy but nice looking free standing shelving units

    I just purchased the Gladiator brand from Walmart for $139.00 w/free delivery. They are the 72”H x 78”W x 24”D 3 shelf ones! Also I was at Costco yesterday and they had the edsal unit with the same dimensions but with 4 shelves for $129.00.

    Black & Decker Workmate

    LOL I did the exact same thing with my workmate, I made a work bench top for It so I would have a bigger area while working on the three (3) free snowblowers I picked! Worked great.

    Stereo shelf ideas?

    Torsion box shelf, commonly known as a floating shelf. Easy, and a pretty cool project.

    Let's see what you did to lower the compressor noise

    Makes sense since you just made a giant speaker out of the attic by doing this. Certainly making a insulated closet is the best, but for those who don't have the footprint for that, piping the intake outside reduces the noise quite a bit!

    Let's see what you did to lower the compressor noise

    Doesn't anyone just pipe the intake and correct filter and housing setup outside anymore! Did this in many shops in ALL climates without a problem years ago! Cut down on the noise dramatically.

    Stumped! New condenser fan motor. HELP please.

    This is exactly what I finally figured out. I don't know why it stumped me for a while, maybe it was the blazing heat? Yeah the fan blade is on order (rather old Bryant unit) and will be replaced asap!

    Brand new vintage Matco tool box find

    You'd pay 2k for junk today! I think it's actually a pretty decent buy. Looking at cl in my area 2 grand buys you a beat to **** snapon, or mac bottom only. It wouldn't hurt to low ball him at first, and set a high limit you're willing to spend. You'll never find a NOS this pristine again.

    In 1983 the shop I worked for bought a similar "color" jack from the Mac tool truck! Light orange with white lettering and handle grip! That said, a picture would help!
