    How to Fix Rusty Steel Garage Trusses

    Thank you everyone for your ideas! I think I'm going to wire wheel it and then spray on the No More Rust rust sealer. Anyone had any bad experiences with the No More Rust products? I think I'll redo the truss supports in a more permanent way too. I'll probably weld up some right triangle...

    How to Fix Rusty Steel Garage Trusses

    Woah. That is some cool stuff. That's probably what I'll go with. Thanks! No sorry - I just added another layer of EPDM on top of the leaky old roof. I still need to do some more work on the downspout, with the parapet wall blocks, and terracotta roof ridge caps.

    How to Fix Rusty Steel Garage Trusses

    A year or two ago, I bought a duplex with a 1.5 car block garage with a concrete roof that is held up by steel trusses that rest in the blocks. The trusses and tin(?) ceiling are very rusty and constantly drop debris everywhere and it is impossible to keep clean. I replaced the roof so no new...

    Straightening Welding Table Frame

    Gently massage it back into place with a hammer? Cut it out and weld on a new flat piece and try not to warp it?

    Replacing Gas Tank on Reddy Turbo Heater

    I couldn't find a tank like that on eBay. What terms did you use to search for that?

    Replacing Gas Tank on Reddy Turbo Heater

    This morning I tried using my soldering iron and it did not work at all. Like zero! So, I went back to the welder. I was more careful today, welding primarily on the black iron pipe, with just a little touching the threads. This actually worked pretty well around the rest of the way. I didn't...

    Replacing Gas Tank on Reddy Turbo Heater

    Had a little more time in the shop tonight again. Ground down the black iron pipes and the welds. Looks much prettier now, but I'm still not satisfied with the welds. From there, I decided to cut the hole in the hole in the tank. I was planning to make the hole larger than the pipe to...

    Xzylon's Micro Garage

    I like it. Works in the space you have and really demands that you be organized! You should look at the spaces used for garages, workshops, storage, etc. that are used in Japan. Every cubic inch is used for maximum benefit!

    Replacing Gas Tank on Reddy Turbo Heater

    Tonight I had about 30 mins in the garage. Not much, but I got the first steps of the fuel inlet started. I'm using a 10" long, 2" black iron pipe to fab up the inlet. First I cut off the threaded ends. Easy peasy. Into the scrap bin! From there I estimated where to cut the pipe to make...
