I appreciate everyone's input. I'll try to address what has been suggested. Municipal power is not readily available at the location. I would have to have a couple poles put in to connect to the nearest line. The plan is to build a shop and place the shipping container on the south side of...

I have amish neighbors. Even the deputy indicated that the immediate area is safe, but tweakers from areas north and south of my location have started venturing further from where they live in search of loot. As far as replacing the tools, I'll check with some local pawn shops to see if any of...

I have some land about an hour from where I live. For almost 3 years now, I've used a shipping container on the property as a workshop and storage. I also put a camper on the property to have a place to stay when I go there. Yesterday I was up there for the first time in several weeks...

For me it was a random roll of hookup wire. The fusible link to the fuel pump burned out at Sonic several miles from home. I ran a connection from the hot side of the windshield wiper switch directly to the pump. It worked well enough that I left it.

My first tool box was an old ammo can that fit in the tire well of the rattle trap I drove to college. It's still around here somewhere.

You and me both...

New Channellock welding pliers to go with the new welder, of course.

Not what I expected, but a great short film none the less.

Generally, it's bad form to quote yourself like this. This time it should be OK. Bear in mind that my question and the answer below is related to a Lincoln welder, not Hobart. To answer your question. Generally there is not a problem with generators . Except keep the idle rpm high all the...

I've wondered about using my generator to power my Lincoln 210MP. My concern revolves around the generator producing a modified sine wave or a square wave instead of the pure sine wave that is produced by the power grid. A square wave or a modified sine wave is fine if you're talking about...
