What paint do you guys use when refinishing your vises? The hammerite paint I used to use is not being sold anymore. Does Tractor Supply Co have a good paint?

Got the Cat6 cables ran in 1.25” PVC and everything went really smoothly. So glad the hard part is done!! The irrigation guys did a good job and we didn’t destroy the yard. Now, I’ve got to drill an 1 5/8” hole through the brick and run the house end up through the soffit and into the attic...

Thanks for all the awesome ideas and tips. I have the workshop building and house on separate 200amp power so there was no using the electrical wiring to get internet into the workshop. I have an Orbi mesh system in my house that works excellent. I may just hardwire another Orbi satellite in...

I searched and read a number of threads on here. My angle was that after reading these threads I thought that hard wiring would be too difficult and expensive, so I was going to go wireless like many of the threads I read. Then I found out it was no big deal to an irrigation company and is...

That’s a cool idea.

Thanks. I just discovered some info about surge protection of Cat6 versus fiber this morning and was hoping someone would comment along those lines. I have the Cat6 and the specs for it are really good. Unless there is an absolutely compelling reason to go fiber, I will stick with what I...

I looked at several wireless options for getting internet into my workshop. The workshop is about 90 feet from my house and I’ve been putting off running internet because I thought it would be costly. After research, it looked like a Ubiquiti point to point was going to be the solution. The...

Hose reel or coiled line hanging from the ceiling? Which do you recommend..hose reel or coiled line? This will be over my build area. Ceiling is 12 feet and I will have numerous other drops around the building. Please post photos of ceiling mounted air drops if you have them. Thanks.

I’m wanting to put a few air hose reels in my new shop. I want to put one on each end of the building by the garage doors and one hanging from the ceiling in the center over my “build area.” Any recommendations for good bang-for-the-buck hose reels? I’m not going to spend crazy money since...

I like this. Can you explain what you’ve set up?

Marc, That’s exactly what I’m doing. Going to have approx 215 ft of line with 7 drops and drains. Trying to do this right the first time.

Thanks for the great feedback. I dumped the idea of going through the brick once I saw how well the RapidAir blocks could work to help me put the pipe theough the wall. One tiny hole and the RapidAir blocks fit into the trim on my building like I had designed it that way. Just did an overnight...

I’m in the D/FW area.

Doh! I must have searched incorrectly, I was trying to search by brand and looking for that exact one.. I found several on eBay when I went back.
