Those server power supplies are quite a 12v beast. I hooked one up to a 5 gallon bucket, and in a few hours the water was almost around 180 degrees. Enough to where the water was evaporating off very quickly.

What about a concrete chainsaw? No over cut lines if you are careful.

If you are in a big enough space, pallets and a pallet jack or forklift work great. You can make pallets that fit each piece you are trying to move around. I have done that in my shop during the build.

Here is my solution for my 12 foot wide by 11 foot tall opening. I did this for a few reasons. 1. I can get them fully insulated just like the walls as they are made out of 2x6s. 2. The price. I had the hinges made and they cost me $30 each. The rest is just normal stuff you can pick up at...

Stainless steel cupholders would work, just cut the bottom off. Link to Cup Holders

These are the best inserts you can use if you are going into wood. They are not the cheapies, but made of steel and are pretty robust. http://www.mcmaster.com/#90192a132/=fyc141 If you are going to go with a double thickness of plywood, the thing to do would be have the bottom sheet laid out...

Well I have 3 pool tables as work benches actually (4 if you count the one in the living room that gets used for a work bench for some of the "cleaner" things like. All 3 are 9' Brunswick Gold Crown tables. The old commercial tables from pool halls and bowling alleys. It does help that I work...

I am at Stapley and Brown. Hope to be putting up a 24x40 shop this year so I can join the cool club too.

I have a Computer power supply running my garage setup now. I have a computer hooked up to a receiver then the receiver to a 900w mono rockford fosgate sub amp. I have 2 12" sub woofers under my workbench and the whole thing sounds really good. It will rattle the walls and things off the bench...

koditten - i sure am going to keep it thanks for your advice on the oil. I live in the Phoenix Arizona area, so no worries about the really cold. I will look for the plug on the bottom and add a drain tube and probably ball valve for easy draining. As far as safety, I will be most likely moving...

Hello guys, Im pretty new around these parts, but have read enough to see that there are many knowledgeable people around these parts, and was hoping someone can help me out. Anyway... I just purchased my first house, and was pleased the previous owners left me this old Speedaire compressor...

Here you go, I just happened on these. Brass and steel wedges, not too bad priced. http://www.rcttools.com/catalog/13

Thanks for all the replies. This was really just a thought, the pump not costing much, and I knew where I could find (2) 80 gal tanks for $50 each. My thought process was similar to what has been mentioned here...if it is 15 cfm at 3000 psi, it would be much higher cfm at a lower psi where I...

I found this in the local craigslist...I have never seen anything like it before. Is this for real, and if so, what motor would I drive it with? I have been looking for a 60 to 80 gallon compressor lately, would this be a good place to start, or would it not be worth the trouble, and buy...
