I bought a blasting cabinet today knowing that my small craftsman air compressor would struggle to keep up. At this moment I don't have the funds to buy a large upright compressor. I have seen people add an air tank to give them more air. Would this be an idea in order to have more air on hand?

Not sure if anyone seen my thread on my crude sandblasted. Anyway, I'd been using sand for making my etched cups with great success, but I thought I would try something else with the whole lungs stuff. Anyway I picked up some black diamond media at TSC yesterday and was using it, had my PSI at...

It was HOT in Middle Tennessee this weekend and I needed to etch some stainless tumblers and I didn't want to do them in the heat. So I grabbed a tote and fab up this crude sandblasting box. Only used what I had on hand in the garage, duck tape, old rain coat, piece of Plexiglass, and some...

In the afternoons when I close my garage door the sun is hitting one of my sensor directly and it stops from letting the door go down. I guess I need some type of "sun shade" for it. Any ideas?

I am wanting to try my hand at something, and I need a sandblaster to do it. But I don't want or need to buy a high dollar system in order to do it. So I was thinking I'd pick up a HF gravity feed sandblast gun. It's 23.00 shipped, which isn't to bad I don't think. Has anyone used one and had...

After 6 years of hating and I do mean HATING my inground pool that the wife must have, I finally think I have talked her into filling it in. Only problem is I have to have a sunroom built.

So the wife tells me she wants to build the boys a indoor basketball court. Half court, nothing fancy. I'm thinking a metal building, concrete floor, electric and insulation. Prob can get by with a 30*25 building. Anyone give me a rough estimate for this?

A few years ago the wife wanted PVC railing installed on the front porch. To save a few $$$ I did it myself and everything was fine. Fast forward to now and the center post in the middle of the railing is loose. It's attached to the brink with a pvc post mount like pictured. You can make the...

The wife and I are looking to build a house. One of the plans we have settled on show a 3 stall garage. Shows the size of it at 21' 8" x 31' 4". My current garage is 24x32 and no way on this earth I could get 3 cars in it. So what is the true size of a 3 car garage?

Got rid of a deep freezer this morning so I've opened up some floor space and wall space. [emoji1] I have a portable AC unit that I keep in the garage that kind of sticks out due to lack of floor space before, no that I have the extra room I'm trying to figure out away to move it and still use...

In pre-planning stages of building a house and trying to decide on an attached or detached garage. Looking at a 3 car garage for my 73 Bronco, my wife's car and the lawn mower and work bench. Right now I have a detached 2 car garage, only reason is because the MIL moved in a couple of years ago...

Last night as I was building a box and using my finish nailer my air compressor tripped my breaker, so I clicked it back on and it done it again. Reset tripped again. I took the cover off the breaker box and put a meter on it, it was pulling 14.2 amps on a 15 amp breaker. It's a small craftsman...

So I tried wired parallel and it kicked the breaker as soon as I plugged it in. So is wiring them...
