    What did you do "TO" your garage today?

    Installed this 18,000 BTU window AC. Got it free from a friend converting his house to central air conditioning. Barely fit in the opening. I made up some alum side panels and bottom panel to give it a clean look. Should make July a good month to work on the car Ken

    HF Miter Saw Blade Guard

    I have a 10" Delta that does the same thing. I have tried to adjust it but to no avail. I have used it for a lot of years so its done a decent job overall. So I bought a new 12" Dewalt to take its place, no more problem. Cant recommend you do that. But I guess that problem is not confined to one...

    I ran the compressor to a shutoff switch on the wall. Pulled power from one leg to a light fixture with a red bulb to insure I didn't leave the compressor on. Ken

    Tig welding with a pace maker/ defib

    Cant advise you on everything you asked. I know all my tig welders have High Freq to allow a quick smooth start. I have found it effects my cell phone on occasions. So I know there is always that possibility Ken

    Picked up an old compressor from a friend and barter some future labor to get it. Had to recondition it some as it was a little rough. After some work and a new coat of paint I installed it in the garage. Wired it to a shutoff switch and pull a line off one leg to hook up a red light so I...
