I coulndt find anything about them in the forum search so I apologize if this has been covered somewhere. I was buying some 100 amp wire and conduit at an electrical supply warehouse today to get the electrical to my shop and they had a display of Klein tools and man was I impressed. They all...

I did a search but didnt see a thread on my question. I picked up an almost new cheapo Job Smart air compressor (26 Gallon upright) for $80 that I plan on using at the house garage (buying a 2 stage for the shop now that I am getting electricity there) but the air pressure drops to about 40 psi...

I have been following the HF Utility Cart Modification thread and have kind of been thinking of making the drive to HF myself to check them out (its about 65 miles from here) but I was in Lowes the other day and saw the new Kobalt utility cart and it looked pretty good...but.... I dont have the...

The wife found a Huot bottom roller tool chest at a yard sale and called me up to look at it and I brought it home along with some other things. Everything works smoothly on the thing and it even has a small side shelf that slips over the top lip on the right hand side. They wanted $65 for it...

Anyone use an old grain bin for a small shop? I built a 24'x32' pole barn shop a couple years ago because thats all I could afford at the time but need more storage/work space and have been looking for a shipping container but they have gotten pricey around here. I have seen some 300bu...

I am tired of paying someone else to weld in patch panels and the like and have almost saved enough money to buy a plasma cutter and MIG welder and am looking at the Eastwood Versa-Cut 60 and MIG 175 heavy metal fab kit for $1099.99 (less a 10% discount offer). A friend told me thats an...

I am looking for a quality seat cover for my 1986 D-150 and all I can find are the cheap Indian blanket type and I havent turned up anything on Google. Anyone have any ideas or a manufacturer/retailer for something like this? Back in the 70s I covered the bench seat of my 64 Ford Step Side...

A farmer I work for bought a new Lincoln Tombstone arc welder and gave me this old Dayton Arc Welder and I am looking for advice if anyone thinks its worth fixing up. He says it works fine but I havent tried it because the ground and electrode cables have electricians tape covering some worn...

I just bought an old Rock Island Ill Mfg Co vice (no 92) at a yard sale for $39.00 and its old and a bit rusty but its in great shape. This is a hunk of iron without a swivel base and it has a lip on the bottom and three bolt tangs on the base for bench mounting. I felt I got a good deal but I...

I was bidding on a job and was offered this Yamaha Blaster for a C-Note. The motor turns over, transmission seems okay, tires are good and the plastic is all intact. I got the job and brought yet another project home....the wife just shook her head. It cleaned up pretty good with just a...

All: I put up a 24x32 pole barn shop last spring and like a dumb *** didnt plan for the insulation. Anyone have any experience with putting up double bubble foil insulation or Tek Foil after the fact? I am in the middle of running electrical (takes a while when your short of cash) and then want...
