I'm finally in the process of installing my air compressor. I am going to plumb my shop with black pipe. I plan on only 2 drops....the one that will be used 95% of the time is the furthest away from the compressor. I'm guessing it will be around 50-55 feet of black pipe before it hits the 50'...

I started painting my headache rack yesterday. It started as bare steel. I scuffed it with 80 grit and wiped it all down with brake cleaner before I started. I'm using Rustoleum gloss black spray-paint. The first coat went on great...a couple runs...but otherwise perfect. I put it in the...

I'm curious. I'm looking at houses now, and one of them is a tiny house on 5 acres. It's listed for about $30k under what I can afford (single income). I'm just tossing around ideas of getting a loan for $30k over asking (assuming the bank will let me), and building a shop with it. Could I...

...When you buy 100 cut off/grinding wheels. $150 http://www.wylaco.com/Free-DEWALT-Grinder-with-100-Cutting-Wheels-Promo I actually participated in this deal a couple years ago. This company is awesome and is GTG :thumbup: They are a forum sponsor on another well respected site I've been...

My compressor is on it's last leg. She's making funny noises, getting hotter, and is taking longer to pressurize. It's just an older 33-gal 110V SpeedAire. I have outgrown it's capabilities long ago. 80% of its use will be impact guns, blow guns, and filling tires. The other 20% will be a...

Was walking through NT today and spotted this red tag in the welding aisle. I stood there for 5 minutes debating on pulling out the credit card :D :o A basic quick search on my phone showed the cheapest price for this is $1192. Hobart Airforce 500i plasma cutter

Trying to get the funds for a mid-length socket set :D -Shipping will be USPS flat-rate, or padded envelopes when appropriate. If I find a smaller/cheaper box around the house, I will use it. -Payments accepted are USPS money orders, or personal check. -Can be picked up locally in SW VA...

Not bad. I helped my buddy put up a fence last year, and the cheapest pair of fencing pliers we could find in town was $18 for some China Crescents from TSC...

Not too bad of a price... http://tools.woot.com/offers/porter-cable-18-gauge-crown-stapler-3

I was in my HD yesterday and saw the yellow tags above them. The extra-long (16" I think) spade bits in sizes from 3/8 to 1" were $2/ea. (normal price was between $8-$12/ea). They also had a 8 or 9 piece set of standard lengths in a plastic case for $9 (3/8 thru 1-1/2")

I'm not sure if this qualifies as that hot of a deal, but you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal for a 52", 18-drawer tool box anywhere else. I just happened to be at HD returning something today and saw these sitting out. I fondled the display unit and was pretty impressed. Ball...

Was $79.97...38% off. Seems like a pretty good kit to keep in a vehicle or in the house. No wrenches. Not sure about COO either. Lifetime warranty. SKU: 622476 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Mechanics-Tool-Set-111-Piece-H111MTS/203541477?N=c22x#specifications

So my buddy and I are getting ready to build some chicken coups and such, and he is fed up working with just a sawzall and drill...so he and I are going shopping on Saturday. He stopped in at a local Lowes on his way home from work tonight and saw a $499 Dewalt table saw marked down to $167...

...are a joke! :mad: I bought a Bostitch electric staple gun at Lowes today. My buddy is making a bunch of chicken/quail/pheasant coups, and I have one or two to build, so I figured I'd grab one to try out and hopefully make life so much easier rather than hand nailing staples in. My buddy...

I was at HD today just looking around, and noticed the Arrow brand rivet guns were on clearance for $4.88 (normally $18 or so). Then, just below them, the packs of aluminum and steel rivets of all sized were on clearance for $0.98/ea (normally $5-$6/ea). But, lucky me, there were NONE on the...

I bought this cylinder earlier this year for use in my garage. I realize that for one, it is too big for me. For two, my local AirGas doesn't want to fill it for me because I own the tank and am not leasing it from them. This tank was purchased by a company called Mine Lifeline in WV. They...

...and I've never really worked with wood before :lol: This should be interesting. My dad made one for me when I was a kid, and I want to copy the design, as it was simple and worked well. It will be a rectangle, 4' wide, 6' deep, and I'm not quite sure on the inside height yet...maybe...

I picked up a set of these at Lowes a couple months ago because I couldn't help myself :willy_nil I took them out of the package and put them in my drawer and haven't touched them. I know I never will either, as I have way too many pliers and screwdrivers as is. I'd like to get $60 shipped...

Tis the season for cutting wood! $9.59 at my store (was $30)

Saw this hanging on the rack at my Lowes today. $12.98 (was $30). COO is China, and the chrome on the ratchet is not the greatest...but I figure it would do good for a junk drawer in the house or even to throw in the electrical box for small tasks.
