I am working on a bathroom in my old brick farmhouse and the plan is to have shiplap on the interior walls. Questions of the day- can this replace the drywall? there is very little drywall left and I am wondering if I need to replace it with green board. Two walls are exterior and it goes brick...

With fall here and winter right around the corner I want to put up a light post at the end of my walkway where it meets up with my driveway. I live in a 160 year old farm house so I want to make something that looks the part. I am thinking of making something either from 4x4 treated wood or...

This should be a really nice lift, ended up getting it for $1000 plus shipping at $273. Not too bad for a nice older Mohawk. It was used in a hobby shop all its life, I figure this thing will outlast me and my son lol. I went back and forth a hundred times this week for new Chinese vs. this...

Do any of you pro's use these on a daily basis? how is it doing a RWD or 4x4 transmission? I saw a used Italian unit for sale from an import shop in Madison, that was the only type of lift they used. I am in debate of getting one for my shop for two reasons: 1) floor space 2) I don't want to...

One of my big projects over the summer is to somehow raise the ceiling in my new (to me) garage. I have a 24' x 48' x 8' pole shed and really need some more ceiling height for a two post lift. A coworker today suggested gambrel trusses, which actually would fit in great as I live in an old farm...

I picked up a used wood furnace to get me by for a couple years in my 24 x 48 pole shed. I used it last Saturday and it worked ok, but I still need to figure out all the ins & outs. It is an old P&E, has roughly a 24" round hearth with a grate on the bottom. The first thing I figured out is...

I picked up a used wood burning furnace, and it came with a 1/3hp two speed blower. My questions of the day is if a line voltage thermostat with a manual speed control does exist? Worst case I would pick up a line voltage thermostat and a speed control for a total of $100 from Grainger.

I have a project to plan for next summer, raising the roof on my new shop about 4 feet. The shop is currently as pictured, pretty bare bones. I am debating on just sliding the red panels up and doing a wainscoting on the bottom in a different color. Does anyone have a good source in the...

I am just curious what everybody else uses for doing u-joints. Here is the rust belt they can be a total PITA. Usually I just use a small piece of round stock to hammer the piece through and a large socket to receive it. This morning I had one that was just not coming through even with heat...

So yesterday I managed to break the tip of my SPBS24 pry bar, do these have a warranty? I don't have a truck account so how would I handle it? Thanks in advance! Tom

Well I finally bought a lift over the weekend, scored a snap on 6500# scissor lift for $800 from the original owner. It is a little dusty on the top from being in a body shop, but it works great! I had been depating on holding out until we move, but I was so sick of kneeling and working on my...

How do you guys dispose? My local municipality limits size to 1 gallon jugs, it is two blocks away and a free service. I can drop them on my way to work in about two minutes...super easy. The pain is always draining everything into 1 gallon containers. Does anyone have a clever way of draining...

Every so often I look through the clearance section of the Northern Tool Website, and I came across some giant Proto made in USA ratcheting wrenches for $15, regular price is $150! The sizes are 1 9/16" through 2 1/8", so they are huge. I hope someone finds this useful!

I bought a Goodman mini split system, and it came with a line set. The lines are 1/4" and 1/2" OD. The 1/4" line fits up perfectly. However, the fittings on the ends of the 1/2" line are too big, and they read 3/4". So I had the seller send me another line set and it was the same thing. The...

I picked up this vise with a tool lot, and have no use for a vise this big. This vise is in great shape, typical use, no signs of abuse. It has been repainted in red, pretty well done. The only down side is one jaw is missing. I saw some of these on eBay for ~$300, but I would like to give...

I have done some research on an auxilary heating and cooling system for two upstairs bedrooms, and I have came to the conclusion that a mini split should take care of the job. So here is the situation, we have two bedrooms (about 10 x 12 each) and a joining closet (3 x 12) in between the two...

Cleaning house here guys, looking to unload some duplicates and stuff I don't really use. I don't have any pictures up at the moment, but you can PM me for them. All tools are in above average condition, some hardly used. Pricing should be in line according to my research, shipping TBD. Snap...

The title says it all, these are practically new 5 to 15mm. I really only use my 3/8 drive set and these are just sitting in the drawer. Price does not include shipping. Open to reasonable offers. Tom. call or text 920-253-8202
