it took several beers but I finally got it all off...

LOL, and here I thought I was the only one

I spent about 20 mins on it with a chisel, and got very little up. I dont know what kind of glue it is, but the guy said its been on there for close to 25yrs. I didnt even think of the oscillating tool and putty knife type blade, I will give that a try also. I am hoping to find something...

I just purchased a Powermatic 66 table saw, its a beast, but it needs a little TLC. The PO was a cabinet shop, and they glued a piece of Formica onto the cast iron table. (I guess instead of the maintenance of polishing and waxing). Its old beat up, cracked, and needs to go. I tried...

I roughed in the wiring, put the ceiling up, mounted the lights where I wanted them, drilled through the metal ceiling and the fixture with a step bit, used a plastic grommet, and connected the lights. The light fixture functions as the junction box.

I just pulled the trigger on 7gallons of HellFire for my new 800sq ft floor. It has no sealers on it, but it was machine trowled, probably a little too much. Pour a little water on the floor, and it sits on top of the concrete for minutes before absorbing. I am hoping just an acid etch will...

I am getting ready to do an application of 4500/8510 ghostshield on a 840sq ft garage. Any recommendations for a good sprayer

I have an 840 sq ft shop and plan on going with the 8510 Ghostshield, what kind of application sprayer do you guys recommend?

I am getting ready to wire the workshop, and thinking of future equipment upgrades. Currently the table saw and air compressor are 110V. I will be upgrading to a 220v saw, and could foresee a 220V compressor someday as well. So, I figure I should go ahead and run 12/3 on those 2 circuits...

Zombie thread, I just ordered 2 of the 56" from menards, they had them onsale for $39 each. How did you wire multiple to the same speed controller?

I was really hoping the 46" tool chest was going to be on sale again this year for black friday. I passed up a scratch and dent deal back in Feb waiting on this sale

28x30, footers, concrete floor, apron, framed, roof, brick front, 2 garage doors, $20K. Electric is another $5,500 but that is also relocating the mast to the garage,upgrading to 200a, and replacing the main panel in the house. Another $6500 to pour a 105ft driveway and 30ft apron for the...

jumping in, as I am looking for one as well. I plan to install a NG Hot Dawg heater, and was planning to use a digital, but didnt realize there could be problems. I would like to keep it at a min of ~45-50* when I am not out there, and I was hoping to have it accessible through Wi-Fi so I...

Thats just idiotic of AEP, but good to know, the guy from the PoCo didnt say anything about that, but I will double check.
