One other item comes to mind on the interior/exterior box, when I was a kid (60's) we had such a box on the back of the house, in the wall. It was used for the milkman to deliver his goods. I believe it is simply called a milk box. It was probably insulated.

I like this setup found on Instructables. A floor flange for iron pipe and an appropriate cord grip to fit the pipe and floor flange thread. http://www.instructables.com/id/Compressed-air-bulkhead-fitting-outside-wall-of-ho/

Seems like a Schrader tank valve would serve the same purpose. About $4 McMaster-Carr #8063K37. Or probably available in a store that has a good selection of air accessories/tire shop supplies.

Here's an idea for the weatherproof requirement. The author of this instructable used a cord grip on a 1/4" ******. http://www.instructables.com/id/Compressed-air-bulkhead-fitting-outside-wall-of-ho/

Presently...uh.....no. I need to rectify that deficiency.

No holster but the Snap-On LED light they sell at Menard's is marked down to $8. Menard's SKU 5757133

I have become a fan of Jomar "Green Stuff" thread sealant. I can't recall that I've had any leaks when using this product. The mechanics here at work love it. It's great for fuel nozzles (diesel).

Thanks for all of your input on this. I'm assuming linseed oil is used in woodworking?? I don't have any of that to worry about. I remember vividly the top of my v8 in an old Dart flaming up from a gas leak at the carb. It was inside dad's garage at the time. Gasoline burns pretty darned...

I've been thinking about ignition sources and gas leaks. My son keeps his old Mustang in the garage and I've got a couple of garden tractors in there. Also a chest freezer. They make risers to get a water heater up off of the floor. Should one endeavor to keep all ignition sources, like the...

According to the parts list for my JCPenney 1.5 Ton, it appears to be the safety valve. See HiBall's jack repair posts. There's one on a 'sticky' on the forum page 1.

I have the 12V One+ type but I would suggest going through the process to be safe. At work we use the 18V DeWalt and they had an issue with the drills a few years back. We had one that nearly melted in half. Take advantage of the replacement offer, the time lost in the process is nothing...

Here's some trivia or perhaps useful info. My neighbor, a woodworker, was complaining about pencil points. Standard pencil sharpener's leave a point that's too thin. Carpenter's pencils are more time consuming to deal with. I came to the conclusion that you need a more blunt point on a...

Bronson, what do you use to hang the kayak in the garage. I bought one for my better half and am having trouble with how to store it. I tried a bicycle lift and that seems to be un-workable. Thanks

You might try this, http://www.aescosc.com/potirechanger.html , there seems to be quite a few tire changer manuals listed there.

Years ago, a man told me he used tie rod ends for gate hinges and they worked great. I can see that the sagging issue would be eliminated as far as the hinges are concerned. Something to consider.
