    Show your Unistrut / Superstrut designs

    I see you are a Canuck... where did you find that material? This gives me an awesome idea for an adjustable fab bench!

    Reasonable Parts Markup?

    I am from the other side of the counter but what I see daily from Warranty Claims and paperwork. Shops typically double their cost on parts and I have even seen triple. Book time on a standard brake job is 1hr, most shops pad with 1.5hrs. The dumb shops are the ones whose parts mark up exceeds...

    Deadblowhammerdeals.com, Use Code Blemx2 To Double Up Your Order

    Just grabbed 12 hammers on this deal! Too bad shipping was over $100 (to Canada) but it was still worth it in my opinion

    50ft wire run

    Sub panel definitely appears the way to go... I could put a 60amp panel in quite easily instead of fishing two lines through conduit for 50 ft

    50ft wire run

    I was thinking that for my 240v welder. I'm not an electrician but I assume that would mean I should run another line if I want lights which would be on a separate circuit?

    50ft wire run

    I would like to have power in my shed. I am thinking about buying a compressor again, the unit will likely pull 20amps on 110v. Good idea to upsize the wiring to 10G for a 50ft run? I'll be burying in conduit

    Garage width

    I'm currently planning something similar... a 12" drainage pipe is making me offset my building and I don't want to eat up the yard. I was thinking about an 18x40 to give me some width but double deep parking. 1.5 car lane anyway so I have to pull a vehicle out to move onto the street...

    Odd shaped garages; whose got 'em?

    I've posted two threads (forgot I posted the original :shocking:) about a garage I would like to build but I am fighting with a drainage pipe that runs down my driveway. To maximize my space and not destroy my backyard I've been toying with the idea of a single bay double deep garage. I found...

    Anyone started their own tool truck round?

    You are living my dream if I won the lottery and had F-U money. Exactly what I planned to do... still have it all set up but the bad payers scared me off. I let the big company take the hit before I did personally.

    Splitting Axes

    Fiskars "new" maul, I bought it last summer... it's a bit soft faced and should not be used for hitting metal into the ground but it splits would great :beer:
