So, I live in Texas... it's possible I will be moving. I see all you guys with various shops with lifts (I have a lift as well) but when looking at real estate I see nothing of the kind. Was wondering where all you folks live that have shops and is there a way to find a listing with such a...

I bought a set of protectors from Amazon and they seem to scratch if you look at them. Was wondering if anyone had a line on durable lens protectors that last longer than a few sessions of blasting.

So I just setup a blast cabinet, but it's got a max working PSI of 100. My regulator on my compressor is set to shut off at 150 PSI. So I bought this setup https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y4183M7/?tag=atomicindus08-20 And trying to adjust the regulator on the filter setup to 100 only...

Ok I know that welding a patch is the correct way to fix a hole in sheet metal. But I have a corner hole that is going to be a pain in the **** to fab so I was thinking of using some of that panel mesh and either fiber filler or All Metal filler to fill the hole. Not to mention it's a blind...

So I ordered a bench grinder to replace my other new bench grinder that had a bent shaft. Ordered it on Home Depot online and had it delivered to me. The problem is they delivered it to some guy named "Mike" in Michigan... and I live in Texas. So called up Home Depot... first was told I need...

Just got a new bench grinder and one of the wheels wobbles. Is this normal? Should I send it back? Thanks

So I got my new hydraulic cylinder installed in my lift. The bouncing and groaning seem to have completely stopped so looks like the real issue with the lift the whole time was the cylinder. The problem I have now is... the lift both raises and lowers much faster than it did before. So fast...

So after yet another round of trying to get my lift problems resolved... found that the lift pads/arms were not level. Here's a picture of them before So the original installer came out because Bendpak told me that they were not responsible for the install even though the installer was...

Hoping someone has had a similar issue with their lift with a fix. I've contacted Bendpak and crickets at this point. The lift basically seems like it's binding. It bounces all the way up and all the way down. I don't know if it's because it needs different lubrication? Or if there's some...

Lurked here long enough, figured I'd post pics of my garage. It's not really "done" I don't think. I'd still like to put some more art on the walls or something. Also like to figure out a "neat" way of organizing some of my larger things upstairs.. but it's a work in progress. And...

I had a caliper burst on me overnight and the fluid sat on my poly floor and ate a nice trail into it. I still have some clear and color left over as well as flake. What would be the procedure to fix the damage? I'm thinking just grinding with a hand grinder, put down some acetone to clean...

So after living in Texas for over 10 years and suffering through the heat I finally got an A/C for my garage. I should have done that 10 friggin years ago! Not only is it WAY more comfortable, obviously, working in the garage, I've pretty much completely solved my compressor issues and I didn't...

Hey guys, I was wondering is there a way to adjust the cutoff on my Quincy compressor so that it only goes to say 125 or so? Right now it goes up to nearly 200 psi and I don't need that much pressure. I know I can add a regulator right after the compressor for the rest of the system, just...

Hey guys, having some serious noise coming from my lift. Wondering if anyone has had a similar issue? Here's a video http://www.samjam.com/Video/BPLift_Noise.m4v

So I have and LED light strip installed and setup with this motion sensor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K4UPPM4/?tag=atomicindus08-20 What I would like to do is add an additional motion sensor to this setup so that the lights can be triggered from either sensor. But I'm not sure if...

Planning on doing my loft extension and what is currently being used are L-brackets into a 2x4 which are bolted into the joist. If this is safe then I can replicate this no problem. If this isn't safe and there is an alternative to the L-bracket for a ceiling joist I'd really appreciate some...

I finished setting up my copper piping for my compressor and despite having a DIY aftercooler (radiator) and auto water drain and about 15 feet of pipe before my dessicant filter I'm getting water through it pretty quickly. I'd like to put some kind of "diverter valve" in the line so that when...

I have a loft in my garage currently. It was there when we moved in. I would like to extend it so that I can 1 have more storage space and 2 be able to access the loft without having to get a ladder every time I need to get up there. I have stairs that go up from the ground in the garage to the...

So I'm about to receive a new QT-54 from Quincy and was browsing through the forums here and saw a really cool DIY after cooler setup with a water separator using a Derale 15300 radiator. So I'm in the process of getting that together, but wondered. Would I still need some type of "radiator"...

We moved into our house almost a year ago and we have a fairly long stairway to our front porch. The concrete is chipping off of some of the steps and I was wondering if I can just scrape away the loose bits, power wash the steps and porch, and stain it. Or do I need to do more to get the...
