    Interesting air compressor

    I was thinking its home brewed. More than likely cobbled together during the Depression. IMHO best used as a conversation piece.

    Epoxy over Stick on Linoleum Sheets

    If it is a true linoleum floor covering it's made using linseed oil, however my money would be on some sort of vinyl/petroleum based product. In either case I doubt if you would achieve good adhesion. I'm with the other posters, bite the bullet & prepare to either put in a lot of labor...

    Hauling a Mill

    Ditto on the trailer rentals, but I do not know what you have on the north side of Lake Erie. If this is your first time moving a heavy object please please get some help from someone with experience. One little Oh Sh!t can be hazardous to your health and to the mill. Watching YouTube vids...

    14' Ceiling Storage Solutions

    One can build a lot of storage for way less than $2K. It would also have the advantage of fitting your needs rather than you having to adjust to its design. I do not know your location, but take a look at https://hgrinc.com/ and see what they have for storage. I'd also use Search Tempest to...

    A seriously good neighbor! Welding table gift.

    Is the property on the other side of him for sale? This certainly deserves a You **** squared. I have a very good neighbor who kept my lawn mowed last year while I was laid up from my foot surgery. He's also volunteered to help raise my shop roof. :beer: People like him are far & few...

    Waiting for a Twin-Busch full-rise scissor lift

    Where are you located? I bought a very lightly used German designed & made Nussbaum for $900 located in Cincinnati, about 4 hours each way. Nussbaum then provided me with the set-up and operation/maintenance manuals for free. E-mailed me the PDF's to be more precise. Found it using Search...

    Shrinking a bearing

    One of the reasons I have an oven in my shop is to warm up bearings and bearing housings. Ditto on a small freezer in my dorm sized frig. Keep in mind NEVER EVER put pressure on the seals/balls of a bearing. When installing on a shaft only place pressure on the inner race. When installing in...

    Is this fixable?

    The short answer is yes. The first two potential sources are 1) a bad main oil seal and 2) valve cover gaskets. Before you replace the support I'd clean every thing underneath as well as possible. Gunk engine cleaner, Simple Green, Purple Power or whatever is your favorite cleaner. Let sit...

    Raising the roof

    Just returned from Planning & Zoning. Started the application process for a building permit & an electrical permit. Total fees comes to $61.00 and absolutely no hassle from P&Z. Nice and very helpful guy as a matter of fact. Also its not necessary to file a legal notice in the paper as I'm...

    Raising the roof

    That's what I was thinking. However I decided to "be nice" and visit Planning & Zoning today. I need to have the power disconnected at either the weather head or the pole to be able to keep the weather head above the roof. Then I'll have to install longer leads & about 4ft additional conduit...

    AMMCO Lift Information needed

    If this one is sold, try using Search Tempest. That's how I found my very lightly used Nussbaum in Cincinnati.

    HD Tool Department, Terrible Customer Service

    All organizations have their share of aholes. Most likely the store manager allows this behavior to happen, otherwise it would be stopped. BTW, I'll never ever again set foot inside of WalMart or Tractor Supply.
