    Looking at buying an airless sprayer....

    I got a couple of quotes to do my kitchen cabinets recently. After I recovered, I sprang for the Graco X7 and also the contractor gun with with the fine finish low pressure tips. I've since painted the kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets and trim, and I'm planning to do the garage door on my...

    The Historic Barn to Contractor's Shop Conversion

    Sub'd as well. Have a 1940's barn of similar shape I size I hope to do this with in a couple of years. Can't wait to steal your ideas!

    Heating My 24x35 Shop

    Indeed it would be for what I use it for - auto maintenance (next shop will be taller with a lift), tractor restoration, antique machinery restoration, and furniture restoration. I paint outside - don't judge. I have plenty of space with the storage stuff. Only challenge is permanent tool...

    Heating My 24x35 Shop

    You guys aren't saying what I want to hear :sad:. But it's what I expected, especially regarding the torpedo heater. Have no problem pointing one of those in my general direction when working outside. Have no interest in suffocating inside! I've thought about insulation in the walls, but I...

    Heating My 24x35 Shop

    Yeah, it's tough. I spent 6 years in Fort Worth and 7 in San Antonio, so I've been where you are. We love the four seasons, but can't do much in Dec/Jan. Of course, the same was true in SA in June/July. I don't think anyone ever said, "My shop is too big". Having said that, the size is OK...

    Heating My 24x35 Shop

    I am capable of hanging the drywall, just have been told that the structure won't support it.

    Heating My 24x35 Shop

    The roof is not ventilated. I'm pretty sure the previous owner built the shop from a kit, or paid someone to do it. He poured the floor on his own and had several blow outs in his framing, so I have a floor with some pretty good waves in it. This means that there are places where the bases of...

    Heating My 24x35 Shop

    Hi All, I have a 24x35 shop. It is stick framed with siding, concrete floor, open rafters, two small windows, and it is not insulated. I'm in SW Missouri and we have four seasons. I'm looking for some advice about late fall and early spring warmth in my shop. I'm not looking for 72* in the...

    What are these?

    Thanks for the feedback so far. I googled "flywheel knockoff tool" and didn't see anything exactly like these. Here are a couple of better pics with a ruler. Four of them are marked 5/8-18 for the threads. The one that has been smashed in appears to be 3/4. Thanks again. Still curious if...

    What are these?

    Got these in a lot at an auction recently. They came in a small, red metal box. They are threaded on one end and appear to be some sort of air hammer attachment or something similar. I would appreciate your help identifying them. Thanks!

    Plastic Barrel for Parts Washer?

    Thanks, bush. I've got a local "barrel guy", so I will probably give it a try. According to the label, PSC 1000 is naptha.

    Plastic Barrel for Parts Washer?

    Hi All, I've searched both here and the rest of the web, and can't seem to find answer to my question, so here goes. Sorry if this has been covered. I bought as used Snap On parts washer recently. It was used, but not abused and came with some liners for the 30 gallon barrel. I put one of...
