I'm reworking my air compressor and air system in my shop. My compressor head lines had been switched to flex lines but I've put the compressor and tank back together in it's original format. I wanted to replace the flex lines with rigid copper as they had come from the factory. I read all...

This behemoth is in my FIL's house, circa 1950. It's operating and there's also a new typically modern water heater running in parallel. I've never seen such a beast of a water with so many knobs! Can anybody give me any information on it? Sorry for the cruddy pictures, it's hot and dark...

Picked up this gem today. Whew, what an ordeal getting it unloaded from the truck but she's in the shop now. I know it will take me months to get it just the way I like it but it will be worth it. I finally reached the limits of my old boxes. I'll get the old ones cleaned up and prepare...

The US General 72" industrial roller cabinet is currently on sale for $1,099.99 This is the lowest price I've seen it in the short time I've been watching for sales on one. Does anybody know if it regularly drops below this price or should I pull the trigger on it?

Went to an estate sale today and came across a Danmar 7K four post lift that is for all purposes, new. Not a scratch on it. The old guy said he just used it for car storage. He's asking $1500. I doubt I can get him down any lower. It has the drip trays, jack shelf and castors. I don't...

Hoping to get some input on generator transfer switch wiring on my house. I'll try to explain best I can and I can get photos if needed. I have a manufactured home. The service entrance and meter is on the outside of the house. The service entrance feeds a subpanel on the outside of the...

I'd like to build a cover over my slab and hoist. I'd originally planned on having a metal RV cover built but after getting quotes in the $3k range, I'm pretty sure I could build something myself for much less. Just not sure where to start! I'm thinking 4x4 posts every four feet, mounted on...

So ran into a little issue while trying to lift my F350 dually 4x4 today. The front arms hit the running boards before they contact the frame, even with the 4" extension pins on them. I had to use a wood block (don't worry, I was only lifting high enough to take a tire off). What do you all...

Looking for wisdom and advice when using my twin post lift. I've purchased the ALI vehicle lifting guide but it's scope is limited. Besides the normal, common sense safety stuff what other advice can you guys offer? For example, how do you find safe lift points when you don't have a guide...

After years of working on cars in the gravel I was finally able to pour a slab in front of my shop. Today I wrapped up the install of my CL find hoist and it's working great. These additions will seriously change my life! If business is good in the coming months the next addition will be a...

I'm a Realtor but I'm a garage guy too, so when we get a listing that makes me salivate I have to pass it on! 2.83 county acres with great views, just minutes to downtown Eugene, Oregon (U of O Ducks!). Property features 1,742 sq ft manufactured home with 3 bedroom, 2 bath. Newer hot tub...

I'm working up a price opinion for a rural property that has multiple large outbuildings. My calculation on the concrete slab costs are all over the board. I'd sure appreciate some input from those of you who do concrete or have had a slab poured. I know it varies greatly by the strength...

SOLD Carter Carburetor Tuning Kit plus Snap On tools Going to part with my Carter Carburetor tuning kit. Heck, who am I kidding, I'm never going back to carbureted motors! There are over a dozen each of Borroughs, Carter and Snap On float level gauges. Lot's of tools that I don't know what...

Found this sweet Carter carburetor tool set. There is so many tools in here that I lost count. Lot's of Snap On, some Proto, Borrough and Carter. Don't know what I'm going to do with it since I don't even own a carbureted rig anymore. Probably end up selling it after I'm done fondling...
