I'm looking to make a wooden sandwich board / A-frame sign. I want something that'll endure the elements (outdoors in NY for ~8 hours per day) best as possible, and that'll be smooth for the sign painter that'll be doing some hand-lettering on it. Any suggestions?

I recently tore down a bar, and am left with some concrete where the bar stood. I contacted the company that finished the floor, and they want $1800 to 'repair it', which is just replacing the whole square with material that won't match since what's there was laid all at once and is some hard to...

My father has this kerosene heater that randomly shuts off and he wants to fix or replace. I thought he'd ruled out water in the kerosene, but have just learned that he hasn't—no reason to believe there is water, but the can hasn't been completely emptied before being refilled since moving in a...

My dad has a workbench set up using a shelf connecting two palette racks from Home Depot. Right now the surface is just the wire mesh shelf that comes in the box. What should I place on top for a smooth, solid working surface? Doesn’t need to support tons of weight or anything like a vice—-it’s...

Been looking at this for the last year, and finally went to pull the trigger for my dad for Christmas…and it's no longer sold. Are there any good prefab alternatives?

Any idea on what they might be? Worth anything or keeping?

I want a small air compressor for very limited, light use—inflating bike tires (up to ~100psi), dirt bike tires (up to ~13psi), car/truck tires, and blowing out dust from various items. I hate having a hose wrapped around the compressor, unraveling or dragging when moving it. I don't know if...

I think I've seen some garages & basements here done with some sort of vinyl—seemed like it had to be durable to withstand garage use. Just wondering what exactly I should be looking at for a basement that'll have two young girls riding bikes and scooters, relatives dogs, etc. I've installed...

My parents recently moved, and they're working on finishing the basement. The basement is 24' wide, and 60' long with metal poles every 10' of the length. They put up a wall that hides 30' of those poles, and a closet goes between 10' of them—so there's some structure built under 4/5 of the...

My father bought me one of those 1XX piece kits years ago. Somehow I've only managed to loose a couple bits and the socket extension in that time, but also the 12mm wrench. That and the 10mm happen to be the ones I need most often—is there anywhere to buy a cheap replacement? I see one on Jet...

I need to use a 3/8 socket a few times a month. My current Channelock from a Sam's Club set 15+ years ago has a bunch of slop, so I'd like to replace it. Not looking for SK or Snap-On type performance (or price). I'm willing to spend $30-40ish dollars if need be, but I do not care about brand...
