Good points, many details I did not know about. This board is great!

Yes, perhaps with so many variables it would be difficult to give an estimate but I would think material cost would be simple. I can probably estimate how many 2x2 are needed, sq footage of 3/4" ply wood panels, etc. It is what I believe a small project, I have been thinking of tackling it...

Hi Guys, I live in santa clara county and would like to add on to my garage. It is currently 20'x20'. I would like to extended it by 12'x20'. What can I expect to pay per sq foot for this? I have spoken with a couple contractors over the phone and no one can tell me what it cost per sq foot...

Hi All, I would like to replace my oxy-acetylene regulators. My current one's are old and not so acurate at low readings. It would be cheaper to buy a HF torch kit that includes the regulator. Does anyone have any experience with the HF kit? Am I better off to buy a better brand regulator...

Your work is incredible on that 55. What gauge sheet metal do you use on that build?

I will have to check those tomorrow. What does the date stamp look like, I assume some kind of code numbers?

Hi All, Recently I scored a used MAC 3/8" ratchet wrench and over a dozen MAC deep sockets at a garage sale. Included was also several Snap-on FS281 style shallow sockets in various sizes. Comparing these Snap-on sockets to other Snap-on sockets I have they look identical. The difference...

Hey Guys, My HF angle air die grinder finally died and I need a replacement. Do higher price (IR) angle air die grinders out perform the cheaper HF units? I am thinking of getting a IR branded one because I think it will work better. I have always used the cheap HF ones so I do not know if...

HI All, I have a Costco 42" CSPS stainless steel tool box that was a gift from the wife. I like the box but the locking mechanism is worthless. When the drawers are locked, if I give them a good tug most of them will open. when the key is turned to the lock position, a small metal tang...
