Looking good. Is that slopping down on the right side? How much of a drop is it? I'm planning on a 32'x32' and my property slopes backward as well. Looking forward to the progress.

I'll check tomorrow but the compressor actually looks similar to all the other major brand names. Gearbuilder is right. Also, RamAir was sold by Snap-on. I picked mine up for 159 buxs. That was what was left in my wallet and I just bought a Hoffman Monty tire changer off the fellow when I...

I just picked up the same compressor. Mine has a bad starter Capacitor but appears to be in running condition. Here's on on ebay currently. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ram-Air-80-gal-5-hp-Air-Compressor-/120911818412?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c26e7eeac#ht_329wt_1162 From looking at the...

Tractor supply and even harbor freight have those low temp (700 degrees F) aluminum brazing rods. I've used them on my john boat and they work. You just need to take your time, prep, the area and whatever you do, don't heat and melt the rod. Heat the area and than scratch the rods on the area to...

Those old steel bumpers are the real deal. You could run it thru a brick wall and it would still hold up. I thought about some rail road ties cut down or 4inch pipe with concrete filler as a bumper. These newer cars would not even put a dent in one if you were to hit them with it.

Lol.. just make sure the engine block heater is plugged in or that engine and all it's internals will be frozen till spring.

This is correct. Also the pistol would qualify as a C&R (curio and relic) and so could be sent to a C&R license holder instead of a full FFL.

Awesome, wish I could find an old Firestation to buy. Only thing next would be an old fire truck to go with it.

Nice!!! I would have epoxied the floor before bringing all my tools. Would make it alot easier.

"it's your money, do with it what you want", but If it were me I would use the money and get a Kobal stainless steel from Lowes for 1600 buxs. With the savings, you could treat yourself to some other tools. I know around me, craigslist is flooded with used and slightly used tool boxes from...

I would use the 4 1/2" angle grinder as well as the sawzall. I picked up some metal cutting blades from depot. They were red and were rated for 1/4" to 1/2" steel. Had picture of steel I beam. Worked great. I use to get the bi metal blades which were ****. The teeth would wear out. If you want a...

I love how nice and clean it looks. Have you filled it up yet?

Mine keeps me ill too. She's a Pediatric nurse, sees all kinds of kids come in with cuts and bruises. I had 3 bikes and was down to my Ninja. She told me I should sell it being that I don't ride much and if I should have the urge later on, that I could get another. Stupid me, fell for the ploy...

How about baked oil finish? Just like you would an old cast iron skillet via seasoning it in the oven?

You guys buy shovels? I just trash pick mine and keep a few on hand. The rest I give away. I don't know why people buy them seasonally and then throw them out.
