    GJ inspired table/bench

    I am building this primarily as a welding table, but it will have many uses in my garage. I have been watching for a usable top in area fabricators "scrap piles". I finally scored one, its 31 x 41 x .5 after they trimmed it with their cnc plasma rig. $35 for the top :bounce: It's smaller...

    sweating copper tips/tricks

    FYI: the water soluble flux seems to be less rookie friendly. It took me a few joints to realize why. It boiled out faster and did not allow the solder to flow, because I was using too much heat.

    Do you leave your air compressor on?

    I normally shut it down. I just ran copper lines, and have been I debating the subject (with myself:wtf:).. I plan on running a hard line to the hose reel, so I guess I'll keep it turned off for WHEN the hose pops. When I was 7 or 8, I remember coming into dad's shop after lunch, there had...

    Does anyone use ventless heaters for their garage?

    I had a ventless unit when I lived in Indy. (24x26) When the space was used as a parking garage with the door opened every day it wasn't too bad. When it stayed closed for several days I had issues. CO detector never went off, but it did rust my table saw, drill press, jointer etc.,etc.
