    Anyone Here Built Their Own Automatic Gate?

    Watching for ideas. Mine is a swing gate. I only want a closing mechanism, gravity opens it fine. (inexpensive ones, homebuilt ones that aren't tacky or cumbersome, yadda, yadda, yadda) <mytubeelement data="{"bundle":{"label_delimitor":":","percentage":"%","smart_buffer":"Smart...

    Flourescent fixture mods

    I plan on adding more in my garage but the ones I see at box stores all have hanging chains and 5 foot cords, but I want mine hard wired and flush mounted. Is it kosher to just pop them open and go for it?

I stopped and flipped up the hood to see flames under the platform.....I rolled it away to find a round metal...

    Good thing I had my work gloves on today...

    Gloves have their place. I lost the tips of two fingers in a planer accident in Sept 2013. My hand surgeon told me gloves can snag and hold the hand/fingers in some machine tools causing more damage. And he had just gotten a case similar to mine where that proved true. So learning which ones...

    1. "oh my god" or 2. "I knew the ******* had one of these and he wouldn't loan it to me!" or 3. "What's the number to that TV show 'Hoarding'?"

    Shop Safety

    I too am safety conscious - I volunteer at work and catch all kind of flak from my co-workers right from the beginning. First was Terry......he was using a hammer and punch on a bearing set and a piece broke off and hit him in his forearm, too deep to get out, so he got stitches. Came back to...
