Any such thing or something someone has rigged? I'm not a tech but i know alot of you guys put your laptop or keyboards on top. I'm looking for something that will slide out and lock (and i'd put a keyboard mouse there) so I can have a drafting chair there I can pull up when need be and my knees...

I'm having to ditch most of my stuff in the garage to make room for kids area. Going to get rid of my ir 60 gallon. I should/am looking to freaking move...but in the meantime i'm curious in case i can work it in somewhere. I don't need tons of reserve but i surely don't want to go back to...

I have stucco (skip trowel texture) walls in the garage. I just last night finished getting most of my previously framed soffits drywalled....going to enclose them like others have done. I gotta decide ...smooth finish on the soffits or should i texture them the same as walls? The soffits go...

I'm about to finish out my soffits (they've just been open since i built then 2 years ago) but i want to enclose them with doors,etc like others have done. I'm curious what type can lights people have used? Wouldn't halogen get pretty hot in an enclosed soffit space? I've got about 4.5 inches...

Wife isn't digging the white black, wanting some type of tan or something a bit more reserved. Can't seem to google too many combinations..most seem to do white black. I may override that choice but thought i'd just check if anyone had done some other color combos or solids. We don't park in...

I need some reassurance here, i've searched previous threads on this and see a lot say daily oiling should be fine. I know about the oil and paint, and a second line is recommended in those cases. What's tripping me up is in the past year i've picked up some pretty nice air tools for cheap, new...

http://www.oilfiltersonline.com/15-Quart-Oil-Drain-Pan-Recycling-Container I only need to change once or so per year (low miles driven) looking for something i can just store verticle on a shelf that isn't total **** like blitz. Just wondering if the caps are good like they say. Delta 4 looks...

So after a year of checking craigs i finally picked up a sweet weber summit off craigs i couldn't refuse. It's replacing my 10+ year old genesis...I bet I could have gotten 10 more years out of the genesis but i've painted it once and the burners need a bit of coaxing and with a bigger family...

Hi, what do people do when they get a shed on skids to keep critters out from under them? In florida I'd have all kinds of **** living under there. I gotta get the kids bikes out of the garage, i've given up trying to work around them, one on skids is the quickest as I don't have to go through...

Hi All, Quick background, it's an ssl5 i picked up a couple of years ago for pretty cheap 100 bucks, it had a bad motor. Picked up a new baldor 5hp on ebay awhile back (so you know YMMV on those deals) it sat awhile but i got it put together a while back. All in all a YMMV deal so ...

I'm sure plenty have done this but just in case anyone wondered what it would look like... I had picked up an older matco box http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133655 Cleaned up excellent except for chipped paint along the top edges, and couple dings in the regtangular...

Hi, So this ingersoll rand ss5l5 compressor i picked up and finally got hooked up, i'm unsure what type of oil is in it currently, is there a visual way to tell a difference between synthetic and conventional? Reason I ask is I was going to change it since I don't know how many hours are on...

Picked one of these up when they were pretty cheap just on a whim...for the life of me (or maybe it's this cold i have) i can't figure out where @##@ to put the wrench "pin thing" to keep the internal from spinning so i can put the disc on...

hrmm i'm not sure if i'm nuts or this is normal... It's a 60 gallon, new parker regulator/filter, if i pump the tank then turn on my cutoff the regulator bleeds off the tank (thru the reg holes) till the set pressure. i could have sworn my little compressors don't do this.. I did have to...

Hi Folks, My new to me box in initial cleaning stages...pic didn't come out too clear Could anyone familiar with older matco boxes be so kind as to ID this box for me? I can't seem to find a model tag anywhere. Also the side box matches perfectly but I can't seem to find any identification on...

On the combo units, is the air filtered then regulated or visa versa? Just wondering why you would choose one over the other besides 1 less plumbing connections.

Another room is obvious, i'm just wondering if there any ideas out there for permanently keeping it setup if you don't have a spare room in the house to put it. I know you can run an intake line a distance, but you still wouldn't want the pump itself to be in the vicinity right? I've got a...

hi! Ok so i've had this CL find in the garage sitting about 6 months. Had a bad motor, picked up a killer deal on a new motor finally, baldor 5hp (21 or so amps running same specs like the original emerson)...like 125 bucks! I've seen people seem to do ok with 30amp breakers on similiar 22amp...

Hi All, Picked up one of these that needs a motor, does anyone know the direction the motor should turn? Optionally if you know the pulley size that would be helpful too! thanks!
