Re: Fill up a too box for $50. Go. how's about this set http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00938108000P

Re: Fill up a too box for $50. Go. Surprised me too since I could see dropping one of those off at my MIL's place. Note tho that it isn't "crafstman" on the wrenches but "sears" ...

Re: Fill up a too box for $50. Go. I don't disagree that a "starter set" isn't a bad option. I'm just saying that a pair of jack stands are a necessity. Would you use a scissor jack by itself to change oil? I suspect not. The starter set may not have a socket for the drain plug, but the...

Re: Fill up a too box for $50. Go. That sears set isn't a bad choice and fits the "general use" starter set. Do you know if SAE is even a need? You may also consider what he'll be doing when he's "working on his car some". IMO much of the bugery I've seen done is because improper tools were...

for example something like this

Have him build a boat. Get some stich-n-glue plans, you can mark the ply, he might be able to cut the panels with a jig saw. Let him drill holes and zip tie it up. When it comes time to do the epoxy, he can help mix, apply, smooth. When warm enough get it (and possibly each other) wet.

It might be repairable with some hammer/dolly work. Honestly someone needs to buy you 2 more panels. Do you know the make/model of the door? If so, and still in prodution, those bottom panels could be pulled and replaced.

sberry, is the AWG 10 because it's a welder? What if that 50' was used for something else later (e.g continuos load)?

For a Lincoln "tombstone" welder, make it 50a. A 30a circuit would likely suffice if you never plan to burn more than 3/8", but the price difference isn't much I would guess. You might also consider running a neutral and putting a 14-50 outlet in. It's an additional conductor (I think can be...

I'd bet after xmas you can pick up a used 30"-40" flat panel for dirt cheap. Bin the CRT

I think this is an important point ... I would guess many of us have "someday" stuff. The things you got and say "someday" I'll make something from it. About 3 years ago I moved and downsized from a 24x48 shop with 24x24 mezzanine (on 5 acres). I filled 2 40 yd dumpsters by the time I was...

Jack discusses his floor in this thread Yours looks more spalled where he had uneven cracked sections.

Mark them like slickgt suggested even for inside corner cuts It is actually harder to explain than show.

jdeck, have you thought about porcelien/ceramic tile? In the future if you're cutting out slab or pour over, the tile demo isn't an issue. I'd put backer up about 4"-8" along the walls and finish above as you see fit (drywall, osb, whatever). On the pitted **** slab, get the cheapest ceramic...

Kinda depends on the cuts ... I did a basement all in tile. I did everything with a snapper except for 4 tiles. I took the tile marked into a lowes/HD and did the cuts on their saw. I started it up and got one done before they stopped me and did the other 3 :p

If you're going to have some electronics (computer, tv/monitor, etc), then plan for a dedicated breaker for that area alone.the height and spacing comments above I also agree with.

CNGsaves, attached P.S short post :)

USMC, I would upsize tho wire to awg 10 for future possibilities but simply use a 20a breaker and 6-20r. In the future if 30a is necessary, you can switch out the breaker and receptacle.

X3 (and I have the same) ...

spoke too soon, the distance between the center beam and the slanted ceiling portion is < 8' (slanted portion is 4:12 pitch). attached a **** rendering
