I'd like to see a sketch detail to make sure I know what your actual condition is before I would make any kind of recommendation.

Is there a show your engine stand thread on GJ?

thanks for the replies. I'll take a look at my local HD and see what they offer in a dust collection scenario as I would prefer to stay away from introducing water into this area, I already have a moisture problem in the basement. Quickly glanced at the videos, will take more time tomorrow and...

I need some suggestions to control the dust from grinding. Background on what iv'e done so far. This is a basement area conversion. Flooring was carpet glued down, I scraped up the underlayment by handscraper, which cleaned up so so. Purchased a diamond wheel for my 5" angle grinder and had...

I've got an old Columbian Woodworkers Vise Model 10 something (I'll look it back up when I get back to the shop) It has the piece that a wood or steel handle goes through, this is t-shaped and attaches the handle to the threaded rod. This piece is broken, anyone know of sources for replacement...

Armorpoxy Thanks for the suggestion on Ghostshield. My thoughts where to do multiple plastic sheet tests in dry weather, raining conditions and high humidity prior to a calcium chloride test. In addition to the shop floor, I have a very mold smelling basement, which I want to seal both the...

DoItMyselfToo Thanks for the reply, I know how to test for a slab previous seal, but a refresher on the technique is appreciated! Justin Thanks for the link, I was looking for moisture penetration thru the slab from subgrade surfaces. From what I've read here if there is no surface sealer or...

Thanks for all the replies here folks, I apologize for the late reply, I've been fighting a really fun furnace flue water leak :-( I think I have all the basic metric stuff (sockets / wrenches in doubles ) and a few of the larger sizes 21 / 22 / 23 / 24mm stuff should be good to go. Ratchet...

I've been looking at a 3rd gen 4runner. I've always been more of a chevy / jeep guy but not much experience with toyota etc. Any of you who work on them have any suggestions for specialty tools that I should take a look at?

Thanks Jallyn, I think I saw on one of the side plates of a snapon box here that ppg was the paint used (well on that particular box). This box has some rust that needs removal and glide clean up for sure. As I have an unheated work space, it will be summer before I can get at it. Gives me...

I'd like to repaint an old tool box, older snap-on smaller box. Looking into suggestions on what I should use. Any tips on this process greatly appreciated

What about just using a headlamp? I've gotten used to it know that I'd tried it a bit. Find the Princeton Fuel at around $15 also, uses AAA

Thanks groundpounder, figured it was the "95th anniversary" LOL but didn't know it wa the epiq series. Like the color / drawer layout from the pic. Now I'll take a lool at the snap-on site to see what it can tell me
