My wife and I are buying a house and we looked at one today that had a gravel/dirt driveway. We really liked the house and may be putting an offer in on it. If we do get it I want to replace the dirt with a old style cobblestone driveway. I searched the forum and couldn't find much on the...

Beautiful table and impressive engineering skills. Subscribed. I also would like to know your thoughts on Eastwood's Tig welder. Any thoughts on how it would compare to a Hobart?

Wow that is a dream setup. Super jealous man. Sweet Caddy too. Will look forward to updates with lots of pictures.

I do know where I want to live but being in the Air Force there is some uncertainty at times. We have put in for orders out of state and are waiting on either an approval or denial. We are looking at several locations and several properties. I know many people who buy where they are and when the...

I guess I should add that I am a carpenter/maintenance worker by trade so actually doing the repairs isn't the problem. More Photos.:D

Well the time has come and me, the wife and the kiddo are looking to purchase our first home. I am in the Air Force and by the end of the year we are either going to move to a new state and buy or stay where we are and buy. Either way we will be buying. We are both tired of ******* away money...

That is pretty cool. Thanks for all the replies. Honestly just heard about it third hand and was wondering.

Hahaha. Everyone's a comedian.

That's the thing with Chinese tools. In my experience it's really hit or miss.

That's pretty cool. I just used some one inch sheets of foam and a razorblade for mine but I may have to try something like this.

So one of my buddies at work was on a job in one of the aircraft hangers here and was talking to one of the mechanics out there about their new drawer liners. He said they got this new gel stuff that you melt, pour into the drawer and then set your tools in the gel and it sets up into the shape...

I watched some of those videos on youtube and they are AWESOME. As I young guy (25) I missed rowing up in the good ol' days and seeing all this first hand. But I love to do things myself, by hand, and am always trying to learn too many things at one time. My wife says I'll never be satisfied...

Do a google search for LVLP (low volume low pressure) paint guns. Most all the manufacturers today make a low volume gun. At your CFM levels you can't properly run a HVLP (high volume low pressure) gun. That requires about twice the air your putting out. Also check out RP-HTE (reduce...

Unions came into existence during the major coal mining years to protect the safety and human rights of coal miners from the abuse of the bosses who put their lives in danger to make a quick buck. They were warranted and needed then. But they have morphed into organizations who are just out for...

Thanks for the info. I've used them a few times and really am impressed for the money I spent. I agree with not liking the rubber handles as much. I have a Snap On hammer I bought when I was still working professionally as a body man and much prefer the wooden handle. Thinking about replacing...
