Pulled a bunch of steel from years of "farmer fixes" off my old International truck...truck is a '59, the steel bits were from a half-arsed flatbed install ...flatbed looks like a 70s era bed, no idea when it was added. Some of it has some kind of black paint on it, or at least it looked like...

Some time ago I picked up one of the Chinesium gas powered wood chipper/shredders to handle the overgrowth on my property, and after forgetting to check the oil level this year...I ended up with a nifty 5HP paperweight :sad: Like many, I picked up one of the HF Predator engines to replace it...

Laid some cheap Lowes porcelain tile down on my main workbench over the weekend....cheapest stuff they had in a straight bright white color. This was the 1st tiling job I've ever done, and just wanted something that was bright and wouldn't allow dirt/grease/oil/metal chips, etc to embed into...

That thread on trying to get a mortgage on the empty land for shop purposes got me thinking about my situation again. I bought my current house on a bit over an acre of land, 3 years ago, via a USDA Guaranteed loan. I now want to put up a shop building, and wondering if anyone else has done...

Been thinking about finally putting AC in the garage, but I'm choking a bit on the prices of the larger through wall units. I live just outside of Phoenix, AZ, and I can deal with the dry heat in the summer just fine, but when it gets humid, my **** gets kicked pretty fast. Plus, the bugs pile...

I'm SURE these things are out there, and I'm probably just not using the proper search terms to find them. What I'm looking for is a 4-way manifold/splitter for the compressor, as in 1 input, 4 outputs (perhaps it's a 5 way, depending on how you look at it?). More outputs wouldn't be an...

The PO had a ton of spray paint over spray on the floor that I wanted to get up before sealing the floor. I poured down some Behr concrete paint stripper, and after rinsing it off, I'm left with what looks like etched concrete in the same pattern as my scrub brush.... I rubbed it with my...

I'm about to close on a new to me house tomorrow. One of the first things I want to address is the garage floor (of course! :D). I've been searching here and other forums for so long that my head is almost in a state of perma-spin, lol. I do heavy fabrication work in my garage, and need...
