So I have a high pressure sodium security light on the front of my shop.I have recently noticed it stays on all the time-day and night.I though at first something-bird ****-was covering the eye,but it is clear.Not being super familiar with the inner workings of these lights,I am wondering what...

What could I use?I'm looking for something to section off the back half of my shop to be able to heat it better.24x48,but most of my work in the winter is done in the back half.I have a pellet stove in the back corner,and a 52"(?) ceiling fan,but heating this whole thing in the low double digits...

So I just bought a new Hobart 210 MVP mig welder.My feed is a 4 wire cable fed from my house main panel w/ 50 amp breaker.The 230 plug/outlet for the welder is only 3 prong.How do I convert from 4 wire to 3, and can I still run it both 115v,and 230v off the same plug in,or do I have to alternate...

After much research,and a semi incompetent fab shop,I decided to try to weld my own exhaust system upgrade.I wanted to get a Y pipe,and new muffler installed.After a day at the shop,dude calls and says it ready.I arrive to find the muffler installed and the Y in my back seat.He said I didn't...

Just like the title says,I broke my Phillips head bit for my impact driver a while ago,and can't find one locally for some reason.Whet do you guys find replacement bits for yours?Checked HD,Ace, even local Fastenal dealer.Nobody can point me in the right direction.Hate to have to order 1 bit online.

How exactly does this thing work?Sometimes I see the little button green,sometimes not.Sometimes mine,as well as others in a thread are green,and some are not.Mine isn't always green,but only in certain threads.What's this button do?

Not even sure if that's the right term,but how do you account for/prevent it?Been working on a welding cart for a machine I've had for years,although I haven't used it much.Lincoln Electric flux core rig the wife bought when I thought I was gonna stretch a tank for my bike years ago.Inspired by...

I've had these things for a while now,and I'm not sure I'm getting my best bang for the buck.Some of you guys are pretty clever with your storage uses,and I'm wondering if I could utilize these better.Like the title says I got 3 file cabinets that I use for various ****,but I'd like to do...

Any ideas?I've got a 24x48' pole barn shop,getting ready to plumb it for air.My problem is how to go about it aesthetically,as well as functionally.I've got it drywalled between the posts,but the posts are exposed.I would like the mains tight to the wall,but this means numerous elbows to go...

Ok,I'm currently in the process of reading the "Compression-show off your compressors" thread-only to page 47 so far. I get the message as far as copper piping/black iron for cooling,but I see no mention of galvanized piping.I have mine plumbed somewhat,and in the process of re-doing/upgrading...

Well here it is.I found this forum a while ago,and been lurking ever since.Had the shop for about 5 yrs. now,and never gave it much thought about "garage enthusiasts"....til now.Mostly a moto-shop,for my racing habits,but it gets plenty of use for the "honey-do's" as well.Momma says I can have...
