Hey guys, sorry if this should be in General Parking, but since it pertains to DIYers and fixing things I figured I'd stick it here. I just read this article and thought I should share it. Fixing electronics isn't something I normally do since my knowledge of all things sparky is next to none...

Anyone know what make this little ****** would be, and possibly what it would be worth? Thanks!

Hi there guys, looking for any info or thoughts on this style of washer. I'm looking at buying one that's on for a really good deal, but I've never used a washer of this style before (Used to the type where a basin sits on top of a drum of solvent) so I'm wondering if any of you guys have...

Hey GJ guys and gals. I've been working on refurbishing my garage for the last couple of years, and to be honest if I had known how bad everything was back then I would have just torn it down and built new. Unfortunately I don't have a time machine and have invested a fair bit of money and a...

Sorry if this has been posted before, I searched but didn't see anything. Has anyone seen this? I have no idea how well built it is or anything, but it's a neat idea for sure! https://www.facebook.com/hergunyenicom/videos/912746505444568/?fref=nf

So I e-mailed this guy to ask about tooling, the stand, etc. but assuming that it's just what you see is what you get, what do you think of this lathe for $600? http://www.kijiji.ca/v-power-tool/edmonton/south-bend/1052910778?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true EDIT: So after a bit of...

Alright, I've been doing my electrical for a couple months now, with many MANY hassles and delays, but I'm almost done now except I have 1 more stupid issue (hopefully the last) I'm using a few feet of coated teck-style conduit to run my conductors between the meter base and the panel, and...

So I got this old compressor for free a couple years ago and haven't had a chance to do anything with it since, but I recently had a chance to tear it down. When I got it I turned it on, so I know it runs fine. The motor didn't have any noise that I recall, the pump seems to be practically...

Alright, totally not sure on this one. A buddy of mine found this in his house when he bought it. Is it some kind of height guage, or meant to hold something at an angle? It seems to have angle increments marked at the pivot. Anyone know?

Alright, so I won't pretend to know anything about sandblasting, all I know is I just spent a few hours stripping paint off a couple projects and it's time to find one!! Anyways, I'm hoping you guys have some tips on what to look for, what to watch out for, and general price range for used...

So I got a couple of free 6" Record vises recently, both in non-working condition, one was missing a chunk from the static-jaw, the other was completely rusted and the jaw didn't move with the lead-screw. I assumed the second just needed new pins and I was right (they were both sheared...

So I just recently started working at a machine shop, and in the yard is an old Southbend lathe, it's perfect for what I was looking for for my garage, and apparently works. Unfortunately it's been sitting outside for a long time: Still considering seeing if the boss will sell it to me...

Hey guys, so I've been planning on making a build thread for a while now, but haven't gotten around to it until now. I'm renovating my double garage that was built in the 50's, it and the house were built by a guy who was in charge of a lot of the construction in the area, so the house got a few...

So I built a standard wooden motorcycle stand in my garage about a year ago and since then had a couple friends build bikes on it, but my personal bike has very low clearance and I can't use my regular oil drain-pan to do oil changes. I could use a low-clearance one, but there's still basically...

I picked up a free old John Deere A25 Pressure Washer, anyone know where I could download a manual online?

Hey guys, I'm in the process of re-doing my garage that was built in the 50's up here in Canada (just cleaning it out to get ready was a nightmare, but that's a whole different story) and now I'm looking at what to use to cover the walls. I was planning on doing the practical thing and go with...
