    How long do I have after grinding floor for floor coating? Should I also Acid etch ?

    I am not an expert but have done many projects along these lines... How long do you have; You really don't have to worry about it as long as its not getting wet or dirty. When you ground the floor you opened the pores of the concrete so as long as you're not walking dirty into or its getting...

    Master...Mechanic, or something

    Wow, I have never seen work that shotty in an "instructional" video. I can't believe I haven't found this gem before. I couldn't stop watching. Ruling a caliper bad because your big channel locks won't compress the piston back in crocked....what?!?!? Maybe if you used the correct tools for...

    TV in the work shop?

    The New Compound

    Well tonight I dug out the 65ft run of underground thermopex that connects my outdoor wood furnace to the current house. Figured I would save the money of paying someone doing it for me or buying new product at $18/ft....here is a picture during installation to give you an idea of the 3ft deep...

    The New Compound

    Amongst all the movement in the shop. I could not pass up my opportunity at owning an old camelback drill press. Bought it for a cool $50. Just another project added to the list. Will be an awesome addition to the new shop after I get it restored.

    twin cylinder air compressor trips breaker

    If all of the above checks out...check to make sure you haven't crimped the wire too tight in the clamp that enters the box. I have seen it more times than you would imagine. Sometimes intermittent and sometimes constant. Make sure that clamp didn't go through the insulation and ground out...

    The New Compound

    Well I'm getting ready to move and take a huge downsize when it comes to my shop. The house and property is a huge upgrade but the shop is going to be tight for a long time. The few that know me on here or have been to my place know I have a lot of stuff! My current building is an older 80x100...
