Not sure if this should be here or in Fabrication, but it is a cool video. http://www.wimp.com/functionaltools/

I'll get the ball rolling. Welcome to the garage. There are any number of threads that will answer whatever questions you have to get you started. Take the time and read them. There are just too many variables in your original post for anyone to give you clear direction... I will tell you that...

PM incoming...

I'll take the grey one...thanks

I will make sure the GJ Forums get my obit on Tuesday. I only hope the adjustable wrench and needle nose pliers are not a part of the article... I did buy a steam carpet cleaner for Valentine's one year...and that got great reviews. I also bought the land our house is on for a Valentine's gift...

That gun will shoot far enough that you don't really need it camoed....but that does make it look really cool. New or not, a new car PLUS dinner and a movie makes us normal schmucks look bad. Oh yea..my present to myself was a new compressor. :bounce:

25 years for me this summer...I think I'm okay with the tools. Bubba is the kind of guy that makes us all look bad though....a new van? Good on ya for the .06 though....:bowdown:

So I was out to buy my sweetie a Valentine's card and a little something to make some points. Ended up at HD and got her a new tool set. Nothing fancy, but a decent assortment of things needed around the house. I figured candy and jewelry don't have a lifetime warranty. Think I did okay...

Would there be any problem with hanging an air hose reel parallel to the floor. I am considering using my rafters as a support and mounting the reels "laying down"...

I have an Enviro pellet stove in my basement and it is simply not enough. I know there are bigger units out there, but I believe filling the hopper only once a day and getting enough heat my be only wishful thinking. I have a friend that heats his shop [about the same size as yours] with a...

Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for. I knew the original question was vague at best and simplistic, but I knew there would be folks here that would give me something to think about.

Is there a general guideline or formula for determining the number of reels you might need in a given area? I have a 40X40 shop area that would be used for general usage. Ceilings are 10'. The reels would not be the only access to air as I would have outlets along at least one wall.

pm incoming on the 72.

that wire is readily available...at least it was for me.
