So my concrete guy poured the slab and they hammered 1x2 wood stakes into the ground to the height of the forms (to a string line strung across) so when they screed the concrete out they could keep it flat. I've never seen this done before. The driveway is 115' long and 40' wide at the garage...

I kicked around insulating the slab and putting in PEX, but in central Oklahoma we don't typically get that cold and I'm not going to be living in it, A/C after spray foam insulation would be more important to me, I may put a tube heater in later. Hoping to pour slab in last half of July, have...

I plan on having the shop floor poured first, it will be a red iron bolt up building. Hoping to have the slab poured in July and I plan on having it poured flat, no slope. I assume having it power troweled will help with the end result. The red iron will be drilled with epoxy anchors put in...

I figure most will say O/A torch (or both), but as far as consumables, anyone used both for a while? Seems like I see several complaints about plasma consumables, but I mark that up as a cheap plasma as well as novice. I rented a O/A setup one time to cut up an Isuzu Pup and emptied the...

I contacted them for a quote on a 40x60x14. I like that they use 26ga. panels instead of 29ga. And they have a base trim that eliminates the need for the notch as well as it appears to provide rodent prevention. I'm curious if their purlins are 8" deep, I'll have a retaining wall on 2 sides...

My wife got me the kit on black friday. Hobbyist so not much use so far. I'm cutting pegboard for my daughter with the DCS 391 circ saw, one of the batteries allowed me to cut 4 feet prior to dying. It was fully charged when it came off the charger, according to the lights on the charger...

Found one locally, currently have a Miller 130 MIG that I'm proficient in using, thinking about trying to trade my South Bend 9x42 lathe on the TIG machine.

On the first, the low pressure side needle pegged, I'm thinking it jumped the peg. https://goo.io/nJwYmJ So I took it back and swapped, the new one pegged, but now its stuck at about 8psi. Looking into the sight glass, I can see ports to both the high and low sides. Am I operating it wrong...

https://goo.io/nJwYmJ I can clean it up the best I can, but how do I kill what I can't get to and keep it from coming back? I have some copper sulfate pentahydrate but there's really no room to pack it in. It seems to have grown up between the concrete and the pvc pipe, thru the wax ring and...

https://goo.io/nJwYmJ My son's Eagle project is replacing some handrails on a set of stairs and a ramp at the church we meet at. Didn't know the metal would be so oily. In searching, there are a couple trains of thought (he's researching too), sandblasting (out of the question), solvent and...

I live at the entrance to our neighborhood. There are about 14 1.5 acre lots here but only 7 houses. We're split off from the rest of the 90 lot neighborhood by a dry creek so only one way in and out. https://goo.io/nJwYmJ My neighbors and I would like to monitor who comes in and who leaves...

I've found this lathe, the price seems right, the size is right. Hardinge Cataract bench lathe, 1 HP, reversing motor, 4 speed, compound cross slide, tail stock. Full set of collets plus extras, 3 jaw chucks, face plate, many extras go with it. Some round stock also. https://goo.io/nJwYmJ

I have something like this at home, 'cept its orange. https://goo.io/nJwYmJ And I'm wanting to polish the lips and returns on my 15x8.5 and 15x10 slot mags, the center I'm planning on painting or powder coating a darker grey. The lip at the edge of the center is my cutoff, not sure if it...

Trying to come up with a fair offer. I believe every truck brand piece has initial engravings. The big groups of sockets on the rails are 1/2" drive (the stuff to the side are dupes), the last bunch is 3/4" drive. Split up into groups would be awesome as I'm not sure if I'd use/want all of...

Sorta excited as its not a 4 figure deal like most I find locally on C/L. No tooling though, has 2 4-jaw chucks and no 3 jaw one. Only one set of gears (he said he thought they were for 1/2-20). No quick change post and no power cross feed. Probably high for the eastern part of the country...

Picked up a pair of 15x8's and a pair of 15x10's for my white '73 F100 longbed. Thinking about a chrome like powder coating. (I don't feel like polishing them) https://goo.io/nJwYmJ They're dirty and oxidized, I'm afraid of using any acid on them and worried about possible silicone in...

I'm on an acre and a half and want a shop and I'm thinking I want it attached. I know there's taxes and insurance to consider. The nice thing about an attached shop is I'll already have one wall up and it'll be at the same level as my garage floor, plus it doesn't take up more room than the...

Obviously 0.0000000000% is preferred. https://goo.io/nJwYmJ

Kicking around the idea for chassis parts or other stuff seeing the elements. https://goo.io/nJwYmJ I just pulled the exhaust manifold off a 20k 1.8L BP (****** GT) that I may try.

Thinking of buying a 44" HF top box and putting an old laptop in one of the drawers.. anyone ever do this? Was kicking around drilling a hole in the back to run the power supply cord thru to the drawer and Velcro the power supply onto the back of the box. https://goo.io/nJwYmJ The drawer...
