I'm on a mailing list for SketchUp, and this article was in the newsletter. Folks here may have in interest in this; I know there are some who are familiar with the software. Here is the link for the original idea: http://www.sketchthis.net/makerbench

So in washing the deck, I somehow managed to split the white collar on the 40 degree tip. The tip itself is fine, but the collar just slips when I try to turn the tip to change the spray direction from say, vertical to horizontal. Replacing it with a new one is easy enough, but of course now I...

Plus free shipping on orders over $59. I don't know if this classifies as a "hot" deal but it seems like a "good" deal to me. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-3-pc-thin-profile-ratchet-set/p-00944992000P

I am having the devil's own time getting my MaxJax to raise evenly. At full height, one side is 2 1/2" higher than the other. I'm guessing this is due to air trapped in the column on the higher side, causing it to reach full stroke first? Also, the one that raises higher has a different size...

This is what I get when i select the 'view all' option in the "What Did You Do In Your Garage Today" thread. FYI to any admin. Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20128284 bytes) in /home/garagejo/public_html/forum/showthread.php(2171) : eval()'d...

I've been tasked with finding one of these as a gift from my mother to my father. She saw some on one of those HSN shows or something, and she thinks it's something he'd like, which he probably will. Does anyone have one of these, or have any recommendations? This particular type has the...

Good price on these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R4H75U/?tag=atomicindus08-20 This is for an 8'; if you need the double it's $20 from the same seller.

Amazon "Lightning Deal" I have two sets of these, and don't have any quibbles with them. Looks to be a very limited time left (about three hours). http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00026Z3E0/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Not a huge savings, but 5 bucks is 5 bucks.

I did a search, but didn't turn up what I was looking for. If you aren't able to weld on a table, how do you ground the piece you're working on? My brush cutter is far too big and heavy. What methods do you use?

I'm trying to get my head around the idea of all the multiple uses my garage has, but I'm having trouble making categories. As an extension of my home, it sees use as a workspace, storage, and sometimes even parking. I'm hoping that this will help me better organize the space and make more...

Is the board set up that way, or is it just me? Doesn't seem to work. :headscrat

See, this is what comes of spending time on this forum. I have no idea how to use something like this, but thought it would at least be cool to have in the garage. There has to be a name for this condition. Anyone want to clue me in on the many uses of this thing?

Is there a way for admin to archive older threads so that they can't be resurrected from the dead? There are quite a few I've seen today that are being dredged up and commented on as though they're current, which can be confusing. Also, it seems like a good way to stop the spammers from adding...

Hi, all I'm trying to find a set of the smaller torx screwdrivers, sizes T-1 thru T-8. I found this Wiha set on Amazon that have good reviews, but I'm concerned about the handles. I'm looking for something with a more conventional handle, more "full-sized", and not having much luck. I'd...

Back in 2008, I had Genie chain drives installed in my garage. Here lately, one of the openers stopped working. The Safe-T-Beam green sensor wasn't lit, and the red one just blinked non-stop. Online, replacements are around $30. So to make sure it was the sensor, I called up Genie and they...

I picked this up at Lowe's some time back, but only recently got around to using it. It's not exactly a garage tool, but it works really well for cleaning the carpets in my cars. This is not the one with the built-in heater; I understand those are problematic. With this one you use hot water...

Harbor Freight U.S. General 1250 lb capacity Mechanical Wheel Dolly model no. 67287. <link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Ray/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml"><link rel="Edit-Time-Data"...

Not sure if this is the right forum section, but I know if I put it in Free Parking, I won't be able to search it, so I'll try here. I've got a 2hp pump motor on the pool that is obviously on its last legs. It's got to be close to 10 years old,and it makes a horrific shrieking sound which...

Just an FYI - I was in the local Harbor Freight on Sunday picking up a cheap movers dolly, and at the register the gal handed me a coupon for 25% off any single item, New Year's Day only. Apparently they'll be open from 9-5 that day. I'm guessing (just guessing, mind you) that they'll be...

I'm looking into putting heat in the garage. 48x22 with 9' ceilings, 3 bays plus work area. Insulated walls, sheetrock, insulated doors. Checking BTU sizing on various calculators on the internets, I get readings all across the board, from 27k up to 115k?! Holy ****. I'm guessing it's more...
