What a great offer & a great New Years present, count me in!

The Menards Masterforce boxes seem really good for the price. Drawers slide smooth, the whole drawer handle lifts up to unlock the drawer unlike Generals that have the deadbolt type slide & only unlock from one end. The larger boxes are also 24" deep. I also like the Gunmetal & Green color...

I agree with Ratdoggy that TP Tools in Canfield, Ohio has a huge selection of sand blasting equipment.

I would in , if I'm not to late. Thanks

I'm always interested in free tools!

What about using the cylinder from a drive on car lift or a single post from a 2-post lift? some modifications would be needed.

I have 4 windows of various sizes for natural light, and was also worried about security. So I added an extra 2x4 around the window jamb for a total of 3" of wood all the way around. I used 1/2" smooth rebar & made a gridwork of squares where the spacing was no more than 10". I drilled holes...

I was going back through your thread, and saw that you used a drywall lift for installing the ceiling panels. Where did you find a lift that would work on a 14' ceiling? Everything in my area that rents or sells only raises to about 12', I found some online for sale but were very expensive.

I have a 32' x 64' x 14'6" pole shed, I put 3-2'x4' fixed windows (double paned) spaced evenly down each long side, as high up the wall as possible. Wish I had put 6 in, no matter what lighting you use there is something about natural light that just feels better. As I finish the interior I will...

I didn't want anything on the outside, even though this the best deterrent, so I used 1/2" smooth rebar spaced on a 8 to 9" grid. The ends go 3" into the wood jamb on both top to bottom & left to right. The rebar is about 3" from the window, allowing easy opening of the window from the inside. I...

If your short on space & money, Yes, used machines can be a good deal. Not sure about replacement parts I bought mine in the late 80's new, so far everything I've needed had been available through Shopsmith, they used to offer a rebuilt head(motor) for it, & tech help was really good, not sure...

For some reason I'm thinking that meter may be a CT meter "current transformer", & it only reads the current being used. if you remove a normal meter it stops the flow of electricity to the breaker box, a CT meter doesn't. I don't remember for sure & can't get a hold of my electrician buddy to...

haven't yet, but when I bought it I knew we weren't going to be living there forever, so now its portable & doesn't count towards property taxes

Yes, I have a 10' by 14' w/doors in the end like pictured, I bought (aprox $2,000) for my sandblasting cabinet, keeps the dust out of my garage & other storage. Mine has a loft which I doubled up all the rafters for storage of car & bike parts. I then spent another $1,000 in improvements...
