Howdy all, It’s time to start on my ’69 Lincoln and I’m looking at options to get it up in the air a bit. I’ve read most of the archives about jack stands, but I’m looking for something a little more stable and permanent. My Lincoln weighs in at roughly 5800lbs dry and I really don’t want to...

Kenney, I THOUGHT some of your pics look familiar!:bounce: The way I figger it, you've got a nice view of the Deere dealership, Chinese Village (eggrolls!) and about a 2 beer stumble to the Plant! I lived in Moscow from '88 until '97. Attended the UofI for a couple of years and then lived up...

Bill, 28 x 28 garage/shop, 10' sidewalls, "Room-In-Attic" trusses, 8/12 pitch. Room upstairs is 12 x 28. Main ceiling is level 8' x 28, then ceiling slopes down to 6' sidewalls. My nickels worth, Scott

Depot @ Christmas. Scott

roach clip; roach clip;roach clip. I know I've heard that term before. Maybe high school in the '70's? The only good reason to go to the doctors was to steal his Hemos..... Scott

Jim, I was going to create a post about this same topic, but I never got around to it:willy_nil I received a pair of crimpers and both large and small end cutters for christmas from my kids so I couldn't take them back. The castings look terrible, the clear-coat is blotchy, runny, and missing...

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but what do people use w/ stainless (Costco) tool boxes? Maybe there's something out there with a lip or mounts in the box handle holes? Scott

Dave, I've been looking for an extension table for the left side and found this. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005RHP5/ref=ord_cart_shr/102-1717944-6807362?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance Bear with me here. I recessed a router into my Unisaw right side (formica)...

Howdy all~ I need to get some hose that connects to the exhaust on my rigs and runs out the door so I don't get killed! What do you guys use? I assume the hose is a standard size, but I also need adapters to fit different tail pipes and possibly a "T" so I can hook up dual exhaust. I'm not...

They'd probably think it was running water and praise Allah. Now if we could figure out a way to give the whole region a "*************"..... Lets just turn all that sand into glass. Scott

Depot or just about anybody will have the wire, jusk ask for thermostat wire. I don't think breaking the photo-eye circut will help. If the beam or wire is broken, the door will still go up, it just won't come back down. My Genie opener controls have a "Lock-out" feature which disables the...

I googled "toilet sticker", but got lots of hits for potty training stuff. Try "urinal sticker" for some more accurate hits. it looks like vinyl is the way to go, maybe with some waterproof clear tape or covering. I like this one~ Scott

My question is, how to clean rusty tools. I set up a toolbox for the wife and kids to use, but it seems easier to go get a "good" tool from dad’s toolbox than use the ones I gave them. Bear in mind that my wife will use my good 300 dollar kitchen knives to unscrew a rusty regular head screw in...

This is rather long, but quite good, I thought. 1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 2. Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often. 3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage...

Geez, talk about timing. Monday morning I went in to spec out a new Reg cab Long bed 1500 Gmc. I'm planning on ordering it on Friday. GMC will be using the 06 body style until the end of the june 07 build, then will start switching over to the new, ugly body style. First to switch will be the...
