    Who's Got Metal Tune-up Parts Cabinets?

    Here are my four. The Standard one opens downward like a secretary desk. It was the most rusty and dirty...took forever to clean. The Big A really cleaned up nice. The two Napa ones were like new and only needed a mild cleaning. The spark plug is painted on, not a sticker! The Napa fuel filter...

    Astro Pneumatic Tool Company

    My 40SLMAX light has developed an issue. It will not light up unless it is plugged into an outlet. Also, the charge light does not light up when it is plugged in (to indicate that the battery is charging), but will turn red when the dial is turned on approximately 50% when plugged in. Any ideas?

    Air compressor intake adapter for silencer???

    You're welcome. If it was this thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=192454 that is the one that helped me too. Truth be told I didn't really notice a change in noise level...maybe a bit lower but nowhere near cut in half as stated in the other thread. But it did replace...

    Air compressor intake adapter for silencer???

    I just went through this myself. The adapter is part number 1312100377. There are a number of sites online who stock it. The adapter is aluminum and came with a gasket and two sets of bolts.

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    I have good news and bad news. First, I'd like to thank everyone in this thread for their input, especially Platonic Solid. His advise and link to the layout tool in post #931 was what helped me to finally order lights for my 24x36 garage. This leads me to the bad news. I think I may be...

    How to build ceiling in garage

    Thank you for the responses so far. I'm OK with not using the attic for storage. Having said that, I have a few more questions: 1. What would be the most economical way to enclose the ceiling, with its purpose solely to hold up insulation and lights? Do I need to have joists every 16"...

    How to build ceiling in garage

    Last year I had a new garage built. 36' wide and 24' deep. The builders installed 24' 2x8's on every third rafter, and the rafters are 16" on center. Therefore, the ceiling joists are 48" apart. I would like to install drywall to make a ceiling, but I believe that I need to add joists to...

    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    Thanks! I recently read one of your posts where you mentioned you were originally from the WNY area, so I was hoping you'd chime in. You are correct that it's surprisingly slim pickings around here. I guess everyone is hoarding their block grinders! I definitely did not pay a "you ****"...

    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    Just picked this up last night off Craigslist. I've been looking for one for quite a while now. Needs to be cleaned up, but is complete with both eye shields, tool rests, light and quench tray. Mounted on a very heavy stand.

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Just picked up this Yost this weekend. I cannot find any info about this model or any pictures on the net. Does anyone know anything about this model? It has 4" jaws and must weigh at least 50 pounds.

    Suggestions needed on best size garage within town limits.

    Living just to the north of Buffalo, we definitely get our share of snow. Not as much as they get to the south of the city (7 feet in one storm in November of last year!), but more than enough. Being that we will probably be needing a roof on our house in the next year or so, I would...

    Suggestions needed on best size garage within town limits.

    Hi everyone. First post here. The time has come to tear down my current one car garage and build a new detached garage. I would like to ask for suggestions for the best size garage that is within my town's restrictions. I'm only doing this once, so I would like to build the biggest garage I...
