Put together a stand for my JD2 Model tube bender. Not too bad bending by hand, but didn't want to bolt to my new concrete. Also will make it easier to move in the driveway to do longer sticks. Using the bracket from Swag Off Road with the air/hydro jack from HF. Need to button up a couple...

I pretty much use my garage as a shop and even if I were to park a car in there, I don't mind opening or closing the door. I removed the janky opener when I moved in anyway and like having the room. I think it would be nice to have a roll up style door. They look pretty simple to install...

Anyone have a place to buy online? Seems most want to sell rolls. I need maybe 50-60ft. Haven't measured yet.

Sold.

Trying to get an aftercooler built for my Champion 5HP/80gal. It has the R15 pump. I can't figure out the fitting coming out of the head to the tank. Got skunked at Home Depot. The cooler is regular 1/2 NPT so I plan on just using copper fittings and sweating pipe. I found the fitting on...

Question for those better versed at moving equipment. I had my machinery moved to my new house, but not set in place exactly where I needed it to be, so I had access to finish work in the garage. I'm getting ready to move everything into place as I get things completed. I was looking at the...

Up for sale is a Brown and Sharpe outside micrometer set. Has 1, 2 and 3" mics in a case with standards. The 1" is well used, but still looks to be accurate when I check on the included reference. It is missing the clicker. The 2 and 3 are in nice condition. All of them look to have been...

Need them gone this week. Shear is air/hydraulic. Worked until my buddy snapped an air fitting helping me move it by stepping on it. Brake is nothing special, but works fine. Located in Tustin.

My wife and I purchased a new house and I demo'd a ~400 sq ft covered patio. It had carpet inside that was a PITA to get up, even though the stuff was probably 30 years old. The concrete looks like **** and I was wondering about what would be the best way to clean the concrete? Thinking about...

So the wife and I should be closing on our second house this week or early next week. My current place has been scabbed together as I went and I have most of my requirements figured out by now. Also, having a garage that was barely 300 sq ft sucked. I was really hoping to find a 3 car, but we...

I just put a deposit on a bigger lathe, so my beloved Logan has to find a new home. It's a model 1955. It's an 11x36 bed. I bought the lathe in San Luis Obispo and transported back to my house in Orange. I have also added quite a bit of tooling for this lathe specifically that will go with...

My collection of 3 phase machines seems to continually grow. My wife and I just sold our house and will me moving to a new place. I really want to get the garage wired and dialed before I move in. I plan on running approximately a 20HP phase converter and installing outlets just like I would...

Forgive the possibly basic question, I'm an idiot when it comes to most electrical. What would I need to run an electric automotive fan on 110V wall power. Amp draw looks to be about 7A. I'm looking at using a electric radiator fan to make my own aftercooler for my air compressor. Either...

Test

I picked up a Champion 80 gallon to replace a small 60 gallon that I have been using. Long story short, I wired up a magnetic starter, hook everything up and it runs for about 30 seconds when cold before the OL protections on the motor shuts the motor off. The motor seems to get pretty hot (to...

I'm so tired of the generic ratchet tie downs. The cheesy paper thin side plates that bend and I spend 10 minutes wrestling with them just to get them to work. I use them all the time in my truck for picking up steel, moving stuff and whatever else. Any suggestions? All I can ever seem to...

Just need to get it re-wired from 480 to 220.

I don't know much about air dryers other than they do what the name implies. I recently got my CNC plasma table up and running and the number one thing everyone stresses is clean, dry air. I happened to be casually looking and came across a Hankinson HIT20. Looks like they sell them at...

So the compressor I got for $200 is DOA. It was leaking from the head bolts, so I pulled the head off and peeked in the bottom end. The cylinders and bottom end seem ok even though I didn't take any of it apart. I'm guessing maybe gaskets? Also, when I shut off the compressor, air was also...

Figured I'd start a thread for maching projects. I broke the bleeder valve off the Ramco 50 ton press I just got. Sooo, just made another one. Made it out of stainless. I think machining stainless on my lathe is one of my favorite things to do. When you get it right, it just peels off and...
