I searched and found older threads on the APlus 4 post. Anyone here with more recent experience with them? Thinking about getting 2 or 3 or their 8K units, more for storage of cars but also to do some work. I dont see that they are ALI certified but general online consensus is they seem pretty...

I've got this fairly large (21X16X48) flight case. Interior is gutted. Trying to figure out what to do with it. Thought about maybe putting shelves inside and hang it on the wall but I have plenty of storage already. Anyone have any thoughts on a project to make out of it?

So I'm finally going to put in a real set of stairs to my mezzanine. The plan is to take out one section of the rafters leaving me a 4' wide opening to run the stairs up. The total height from the floor to the very top of the second floor is 10' 1/4" but I'm calling it 10'. Going online to one...

OK...so it's been hot and pretty much can't really do much in the shop. Steel building, fully insulated and no ventilation or A/C yet. I figure an inexpensive start would be to put in a gable vent at one end up high and then an intake vent low on the other side. Run it at night to keep the...

So in another thread I mentioned I got a kiln but it's 208v 3 phase however my garage is 240v single phase. So getting a quote from manufacture to do the proper swap of everything that is needed and it's just under a grand for all the parts. Someone else mentioned getting a buck boost step down...

This one is an extra for me. Coxreels P-LP-325 with 3/8" 25" hose with quick connect connectors on both ends. Is in great shape, works perfect. I think it weighs about 30 lbs so consider that for shipping but local pickup in SoCal would be preferred. Oh...this one is made by the legendary Jose...

Free pickup or just pay for shipping. Oil and cabin air filters for 2016 Mercedes C450 AMG. May fit others...don't know.

So another thread got me thinking about this... Say you have work done and you have a handshake agreement with a friend to do the work or maybe a very simple document (not official contract looking). Lets say it's something big like a large outdoor patio or put in a small stacked retaining...

So I have had my fans up for the last few months and had them mainly running in "cooling" mode, blowing air down. These are 10' HD fans so they don't spin very fast and basically just keep the air moving with a very slight breeze. The shop has always seem cold, especially at night, gotta wear...

So I have an older Craftsman 50gal stand up compressor that I rarely use in my house garage but nice to have it there. Went to use it and noticed it was very hard starting and then once it got going was good but the next cycle it wouldn't start and then tripped the circuit breaker. Are these...

I have a small art project that I am working on and I have cut some .5mm copper and want to finish and trim it so it looks better. I have recessed the smaller holes with a larger drill bit but thought it would be nice to bevel the inside edges of the cutouts (the outside edges will have...

So I do stained glass and thought about the possibility of using a laser engraving machine to score the glass and then see if I can break it. Traditionally you use a glass cutter, score the glass which basically puts a super fine crack in the glass, then you "break" the glass along the score...

So my feeder line is 20' up and I am tying into that for power for my ceiling fans and some ceiling light. My switches for the fans and lights will be at ground level so figure 15 feet down. Is it OK to run neutral and ground to the fan and lights Then the hot I would run from the box to my...

Anyone here an expert on making sundials? I just finished a commission for a guy in Canada for their 15 year anniversary. There is a lot to getting these things right and making a vertical hanging one out of glass technically wasn't that challenging as a glass maker, but had an issue with...

So my normal side hustle is stained glass but I have dabbled a bit with mosaic work over the years and then got three commissioned projects recently and thought I'd share. One is for a kitchen backsplash. The couple went to Barcelona and picked up this plate in the Gaudi style and asked me to...

So I have a bunch of extra MC cable 12-2 and 12-3 laying around. For most of my runs around the garage I ran the MC in the walls but now I need to get wiring to a new location and have a general question. Is it OK to run the MC just laying in the girts (hidden from view) until I get to the...

So thinking about getting a Dyson fan for the bedroom. They have the TP01 on sale for $299. Seems a bit pricy but I really want something that move a bit of air and is quiet (I don't like all the white noise). I don't need the humidifier stuff and really don't care about HEPA filtering. I have a...

So I am cheap...well...trying to just get by with things and have had another posts on my shop and some AC questions which I am eventually going to go with a couple of mini splits. But for now I am wondering if adding a couple of large ceiling fans would help or hurt. Shop is 40DX60WX20H with...

So I had another thread going on condensation in my 40X60X20 shop. R19 on the walls, R30 on ceiling and doors are also insulated. Located in SoCal. Temps inside on hot days (90-100) are I'd say low to mid 80's by mid afternoon but "feels" humid. Here is a link to that previous thread. After the...

I have a 1970's Quincy 208 Rev 5 compressor. Seems to work fine except when it cycles off I hear a very slight hiss coming from the air intake. It is enough to cause the system to cycle after about an hour. Any tips on direction to take in order to get the right parts to fix this?
