    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Welcome to the forum from way out west, in Tonopah, well not exactly Tonopah I am a little east in Wintersburg, but since Winterburg only has a small store and a restaurant / bar I have a Tonopah address. I am about 50 miles west of central Phoenix

    Ground pin up or down?

    Ground down looks like a face, ground up looks like a goat walking away from you

    Toolbox Widget

    Got mine today, and first impressions are good. my combo wrenches are a collection of several different sets and manufactures over the last 50 years. They seem accommodating to wrenches of different brands. The best thing about them is being able to have several of the same size

    Wellcome to Siberia

    I stumbled across this post today and went through it all. Thank you Stas26 for all the fabulous pictures and interesting information. Seeing all the snow is amazing. I am in the southwest desert where in the winter you can still wear shorts :) Summer time temps are usually 110 to 115 degrees...

    LED screw in 4400 lumen bulb-Northern tool

    I have 4 of these in my shop, along with 3 4ft dual tube fluorescent fixtures and one 8ft dual tube fluorescent in a shop that is 12x36. My ceilings are only 8ft so the shield on the LEDs causes a little shadow at the top of the wall but the fluorescents take care of that. I like them

    I'd like to thank the guy that instructed to twist wires CCW when using a screw.

    Electrical to Shipping Container Workshop

    The air compressor won't like the heat. I have been here 3.5 years and have learned a lot about the Arizona sun. It is brutal. Where abouts in the Phoenix area are you? I am quite a ways out west between Buckeye and Tonopah
