    Heating part of shop using a tent ?

    I would recommend heavy construction plastic. Had a friend that lived in their house while they were building it. First winter they made a 12x12 area around their wood stove. Stayed toasty inside the plastic...outside their bottled water would freeze. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oakland Foundry Wood/coal stove

    Finally got my tractor back from the dealership after 10 weeks while they installed the hydraulics for my snowblower. Got the stove installed and tested. Was able to raise garage temp 20° within 30 mins so I’m pretty happy with it. Will be doing full restoration on it in the spring...

    Oakland Foundry Wood/coal stove

    I don’t think the casting is cracked. It seems to be multiple pieces that bolt together. It seems too uniform and identical on both sides to be cracked. Could be wrong. There is cement between them that I need to replace. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oakland Foundry Wood/coal stove

    Thanks! Wasn’t sure if that size would work or not. But I just measured it and it’s 8” OD across the long axis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oakland Foundry Wood/coal stove

    Picked up an old wood/coal stove from my dad that used to heat his garage and my grandfathers garage before that. Gonna do a little maintenance on it first before installing it. If anyone has ever used one of these I have a question. See picture 3 below. Also having trouble finding an oval...

    Garage door openers

    I am looking into a similar option for my detached garage due to the lift. I know liftmaster is pricey (worth it, I’m sure). I need torsion bars installed as well. Just figuring out if the budget supports doing both doors or only one for now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Propane sticker shock

    I’ve considered propane, but need to do cost comparisons. I’ve gone through 300 gallons of heating oil since November. Most use has been since the cold set in around Christmas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    I was considering doing this. The previous owner of mine used ¾ black iron that is full of rust and gunk because he never put any kind of water separator in line. Don't wanna jack up my tools. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    I don't know anything about mine really, as it came with the house. It is plumbed through the wall into the garage, which I will likely need to replace this fall, and wired inside to a switch. The switch on the compressor seems to be set to 100 psi, and I believe it is a 3hp motor. Other than...

    New guy

    Been glossing through the discussions, and think this could be a cool place to share, learn, and show off a bit. I bought a home recently and am still settling in and now it's time to start designing my garage layout. Garage is 28x31 and the previous owner left behind a few things for me. Have...
