1978 8th grade shop class. Teacher was hard @$$ about everything, especially safety (Which he should have been with us all acting stupid while going through puperty). We had a Rockwell Delta RAS. During a safety lesson at the beginning of the semester he said we could only use the RAS if we...

Re: How many feel your in a league of your own in your hood? I'm not trying to bash anyone, and sorry if it came across that way. It just seems that there is either little interest or little time anymore for the trades, and I get it to some degree. I have 60 hr a week desk job too. It just...

Nice work!

Assuming the original driveway was put over 4" of compacted gravel, the OP would need to have it removed then dug deeper to get a 12" base. That would be a bout 75 cubic yards of burden removal, or about 5-6 dump truckloads. Here in Minnesota with a fair amount of winter frost heave, I don't...

Nice work on this. I am organizing my tools in a new box and deciding what socket organizers to use. I want to make sure I have all the sizes covered. I also know that I have missing sizes in different ratchet size and point configuration. I was looking for exactly what have created so I can...

Damn....you guys make want to sell my grinder and mig welder now. I won't be able to sleep at night.

They make it in 4" as well.

I've never had an issue with the corrugated melting.

For car exhaust just get a couple of of 3" corrugated landscape drain pipes. Put on your exhaust tips and vent out under the garage door. Add couplers and additional lengths as needed. You could get Y or T connector if want it like in the quoted post.
