I just bought one! I searched and while I found multiple threads discussing it, here, and what people had done to improve or change it, they are scattered. Thought we should have one place to post all the ideas and mods people have made. Mine is the new "silver" one, that bolts together. I am...

So a friend of mine calls me... Needs my Pickup and a strong arm, to clear a widows garage, but I get to keep anything I like. Here is my find. A complete NuArc SST1418 photo enlarger... Not really sure what it does and many of the actual parts I will sell anything that is worth anything...

Love reading and learning here, so here is where I come for advice. Working on the restoration and customization of an old Airstream Motor home... Lots to do, but this is about where I am so far... My issue is the "ugly" grey painted corner fairing panels front and rear between the bumpers...

Found one thread about these, and there was plenty of good and bad... http://www.harborfreight.com/30-inch-shear-press-brake-and-slip-roll-5907.html I needed to roll and bend some aluminum, and light gauge steel, so when a used one came my way for a great price... about 25% of its new price, I...

Been struggling with my HF bench-top for years... Then I found this Dee-Blast Model 38 cheap. I liked the solid steel construction... the shop footprint of 38" x 30"...and the price! It also had about 150lb of impacted media in the hopper... took my buddy an hour to get it out before it was...

After years of using my trusty but weak Sandbourn upright 30G/125psi/3hp unit I am ready for an upgrade. It has been a huge restriction on what and how long I use the air on. The basic wiring is in, with a 60a box in the garage bringing 220/110 within reach. I want to run a good size media...

Got a lead on a used Bendpak 4 post lift.. Its disassembled, so I cant test it. It looks like an older unit, possibly an HD-12, and it would need service and painting, which I can handle. Is it worth looking at? If so, what kinda value does it have? Any opinions welcome.

So, on the ongoing restoration of our Airstream Motorhome, we have a previously broken, and previously repaired extruded beam aluminum bumper... Here is how it looks right now... Larger view.. These bumpers are still available... at a price.. I was just wondering if I can make a half...

I bought these a few years back, and have been unable to find out much info... I am hoping someone here knows more! Beckman Ignition System Tester IST1560 Seems to work good, but I have no idea how to use it properly! I have the manual too... Also I have.. Beckman exhaust Analyzer 590...

I bought a used but not abused Snap-On ACT 3120 A/C Recovery Unit at the weekend. It is setup for R12, which is what I wanted, and I have 2 tanks with it. One is empty, and the other has 5lb or so of recovered R12 still in it. Here she is... I would like some tips/experiences/opinions...

My Garage upgrade is moving forward and I am planning my lighting/power upgrades. This Garage has 2 power outlets,#1 is the original one(I think) by the door into the house and #2 by the garage door, which I think was added. I wanted to know what breaker these were on, and how much power I had...

I have a small Coleman 30g upright compressor, and its fine for most of what I do, but I wish I could afford a bigger/better one! Could do with more air when I am using my blast cabinet and some air tools. I am adding some hard line along above the bench, and I have another 30g tank from an old...

In the middle of a MAJOR garage rework... I have a Colemean upright Compressor.. the type on wheels... I had a movers blanket on the floor, and didnt realize the foot of the compressor was on it. I pulled the blanket to move it, and the compressor fell over... right onto the "control box"...

Finally its time to do it... I looked at the options and decided to go with the simple Rustoleum floor coating, and maybe a clearcoat on top. So, today I humped everything onto one side and swept and washed everything down.. I dont have space to take every out, and do it all at once, so its half...

I met a guy today that had an interesting garage ramp for sale... Its used, but in good shape, and a manual ramp. Looks to be about 16' long, but he says it can be adjusted for length and the wheel ramps are maybe 10" wide and are adjustable width. The front is at a fixed height of maybe 20" and...
