    Inherited THW Wire

    Hey all, My Grandfather was an electrician and I inherited a lot of wire after he passed. I’ve been slowly going through all of it and used quite a bit for my shop wiring projects, mostly Romex and THHN/THWN. I’ve gotten in to the depths and found a few spools of this TWH wire. Not super...

    Outdoor Lighting Question/Options

    I recently finished installing High Bay UFO style lights inside of my shop. I would now like to install some lighting under the awning out front. My goal is to install something low profile, so the lights won't hang down and interfere with clearance. I've added a couple pics to show what I have...

    Stack-On Gorta-56 Project Center Worktop

    Anybody familiar with this item? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002XITY2W/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I stumbled across it on Amazon and it seems like a fair price--however I can't seem to find anywhere that specifies what type of wood it is. Here it is on the Stack-On website...

    Bosch PS31-2AL1A $94.99 on Amazon

    Seems like a super good deal. Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger myself. Too bad it doesn't qualify for the additional $25 off of $100. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009QYHR84/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Adrien

    Router Question for the Woodworkers

    So I'm planning to expand my woodworking tools and I want to get a router table setup. The Bosch 1617EVSPK combo kit includes a fixed base as well as a plunger base. My question is regarding router adjustment when mounted to a table. I have two cost effective options here. One is using the...

    Oh! I forgot I own one of those already!

    Here I am, fighting with my iPhone 4 as it's had charging and battery problems lately. I decide to pull the back plate off to double check the battery connection. Initially I look for a 00 Screwdriver in my 'Precision Screwdriver' set and of course I don't have one. Next best thing--yep, a...

    Workbench Drawers

    So I have a "Costco Special" 8 ft. Whalen workbench as pictured below. I'd like to add some storage underneath it, but not all the way to the floor. I was considering using some indermediate tool chests and attaching them to the underside of the bench top. Something like these Gladiators...

    Marking Treated Lumber (framing)

    So is there a secret to this? My Grandfather and I have been framing walls in my shop, which doesn't have any lighting yet. I've been using a plain ol' carpenters pencil to mark my top and bottom plates, but it's hard for him to see the pencil line on the treated lumber (bottom plate) and...

    So I'm getting ready to 'inherit' hundreds of electrical condulets and other types of fittings, and I'm looking to this as a storage/organization solution. At this price point I don't think I can beat it, that is unless anybody has had a bad experience with this particular product. Thanks...

    My Take On A UDS

    Well, I recently discovered the wonderment of building a UDS, and considering I already had most of the stuff I needed I went ahead and built one. Other then the 3" Hole Saw and 1/4" Pop Rivet Gun I bought to work on this project, I spent a whopping $8 on material. Adrien

    Home Depot Clearance Cabinets

    So I was exploring HD the other day and found myself in the back next to a clearance section. Those bright yellow signs always catch my attention. So anyway, I dug around through a pile of different kitchen and bathroom related items--a variety of cabinets, sink pedestals, microwave ovens, etc...
