I see the pellet stove piping to be pretty nice. dual wall, the inner is stainless, outer is galvanized Nice wall thimble etc.. I even saw one that had blue collars inside the pipe.. pellet stoves also have powered exhaust. Any reason this can't be used for a downslope horizontal vent for...

I am running about 50 feet of pipe to supply an 80k btu radiant heater in my shop. I was going to run Poly pipe, but now I see the risers are stupid expensive for 3/4" pipe size. I also would really like to keep this line in some conduit. I see now that I can't do it the way electrical is...

Picked up a delta 2 stage 80 gallon 6.5hp compressor. Builds pressure fast but there was about half a pint of oil milkshake in the tank, and as oil on the compressor itself. Rings or valve seals? Im not sure who makes the compressor. Ive never had to rebuild a compressor before, but id like to...

Its been one of my life goals to have my own tire service station at my house. The attached garage has manifested itself into one that I can be proud of finally. Sold the coats 850 and the Hunter GSP 9700 is my go to balancer now. 16 piece collet set and an arm to quick measure up to 30"...

I want to run a 40k BTU 10ft radiant tube heater in my attached garage. Vent would be horizontal going through a combustible wall, outside being T11 shiplap. This is the vent I want to use, also called out by the tube heater mfg. I can't see in the vent instructions how much room I need below...

I am putting a 12'x wide by 14' long shed up. The picture shows dimensions and grade fall Essentially the back end of the pad is about 2-3" below soil grade. I cannot go further back as there are massive tree roots there forming a wall. I have exceptional drainage on the property. My soil is...

Was advertised as 10 tons for 100$, I immediately drove over as I wanted a 10 ton for my class A diesel RV, and rather not use bottle jacks. Well turns out its rated at 6000 lbs...still bought it, heaviest built 6000 lb jack I have ever seen..huge piston etc. Any idea on year? Im still going...

Reputable wheel builder in CA I am using, (well their machinist they use) is having issues drilling out some bent and sheared studs from the back of my 3 piece wheel faces. Say they keep snapping carbide bits on a CNC machine. Sounds like the bit is going off center, being a CNC is extremely...

I got a 9024e tire changer machine. Did not come with a duck head. I ordered one which was supposed to fit the 9024e (a nylon one). Long story short, the bead lift area where you put the bar over, is about 1" away from the bead..dont think its for this machine. Anyway, the OEM steel head is...

I have this torx set from EZ Red and it is AMAZING. I use them in combination with the super long gearwrench universal spline flex head wrenches. the ball detent on the bit has a very nice positive stop to it. Havent dropped a bit yet. The only triple square variation I have found of that...

The main car that will be parking over it and using it the most is a very low Lexus LS400. about 1.5" of clearance between the lower subframe to ground. One way or another I know I will need ramp extensions before and after the hoist, essentially raising the floor around it to make it "in...

Wiring up my coats 9024 tire machine, Confused here as the schematic calls out U V M which is 3 phase nomenclature i believe, lists it as 1ph. My motor has a start and run capacitor, but is numbered with numbers not letters.. Wired my switch how the diagram shows but unsure how to hook up the 4...

Dangit! Had the 120Xp extra long metric universal wrenches less than a month and a half. used them maybe 10-15 times. dropped the 12mm one (part 86112) from table height, damn ratchet mechanism broke! Now no gear wrench distributors in the area can get me just that one wrench as a...

The old owners modified the garage by moving the main door from the east wall to the north, and also bumped out the east wall approx 4-5 feet. Looks like the concrete was there before and they just built up cinderblock on/around it. Now in the spring time when there is a big melt along with...

as the title states, got a 32x32 pole barn. Its my car shop, repair, restoration, painting weather permitting. Last year was my first time owning it in the winter. I live in SE Michigan. I am in the shop for maybe 2 hours after work, and then sometimes all saturday, sometimes a sunday...

Hey guys, I got a 32x32 pole barn, open ceiling non insulated. I was going to do 16 twin tube t8 fixtures, but I saw a guy put in some 10$ china 50 or 100W 120degree LED flood lights instead. I cant find this thread right now, but I did find a boatload of those lights from Alibaba. Any...

This is my shop for general personal car repair, and vehicle restorations. Will be building a rotisserie later this year. Still positioning the 7k lb rotary asymetrical lift. I will have a ton of questions along the way. I have yet to add/position my floor drill press and 20 ton press. Not...

I have a 32x32 pole barn, has 11 feet to the bottom truss from the cocrete floor. It has the traditional "fan" trusses. I am wondering if I can build immediately beside the old truss, a new raised tie truss. Once it is setup, remove the old truss piece by piece. I would need to do this on 3 or 4...

I gots me a 32x32 concrete floor pole barn, 11 feet to the rafters. I do plan on insulating it. Drywall or similar, once all the wiring and ducting is complete. I plan on having approx 12' ceiling height by reworking the rafters (seperate thread). This will be a fab shop and service bay. I am...
