Used only to stuff into a gash until the ambulance arrives.

Don, Per your suggestion, I've removed the "swag," leaving only the stickers and got it all into a large USPS priority box. It's packed, sealed, stamped and scheduled for pickup with our normal mail delivery Monday morning. I will PM you the tracking number. Ray

Checked with several other shippers, including a number of "discount" shippers. All are quoting $50 (+/- $5) This is due to the size of the box (now repacked into a smaller 15x12x9 box) weight (13.48-lbs) and distance to be shipped (2357-miles) If no one minds, I will edit the contents down...

Not yet. I was quoted $50 for shipping (apparently there is a surcharge for shipping to his address.). I’m going to repackage and try again. I’ve been in contact with him by PM and let him him know. Hope to get it out by Friday.

How often will you need it? I usually take advantage of the local auto-parts store "loan-a-tool" program when needed. Ray

I have a 1954 F-100 front end complete with lights hanging on the wall off the garage. Just wired a 12-volt landscaping light transformer to the wires. It’s plugged into a switched outlet and takes 45-seconds or so to turn on (has to sense darkness for a short time) but it’s been working for...

I am all done with it although the box needs to be replaced. Not sure how I should forward this on. USPS? What class? UPS? or....... Will try to get it shipped out next week. Ray

I would find a place that does soda or dry ice blasting and just have the whole thing cleaned. The baking soda or dry ice won't create enough heat to distort the metal and will leave you with a nice clean finish. Ray

About $3500 would clear the last of my credit card debt. The rest would by a very nice wood lathe.

Nick has a nice easy one on his YouTube channel.... Ray

Yeah, make sure that you insulate well then. Add a few ceiling fans (or just use a "Big *** Fan" for air circulation. Are you thinking about a HVAC system? Look into mini-splits especially if you plan on sub-dividing the space (maybe a small "clean" or "dirty" room for specialty work. Good...

I did a Google search and it appears that DeWalt used the same base. Might want to add DeWalt to the data search base as well. Ray

Where in the Valley are you? We lived in Madera for 25-years before retiring and moving back to San Diego. Ray

We had a 6x6 shed installed a few months ago (got a good deal as we had ordered it last year.) I went out yesterday to buy an 4x8 sheet of ply or osb for shelving and was shocked at the prices. Construction grade 3/4 plywood was over $90 a sheet and osb was a bit higher. I ended up with a...

Here's a shot of the entrance to the San Diego Air & Space Museum. In addition the SR-71 out front, they have an engine and some other parts in the basement (they have basement tours if you call ahead.) There are a TON of interesting things in the basement. One day they took delivery of 4...

We had Generac out for an estimate. Between permits, the cost of the unit and issues relating to where they wanted to place the unit we could buy several Honda type generators. So, we bought a unit just to power what we need and a spider box to divide the power. Haven't had to use it...

My Father-in-laws signature is on the inside of the nose gear door. They invited everyone they could find that worked on the program to the un-veiling when it was installed in the museum. Ray

My father in law was an engineer on that program as well as the drone that was mounted between the two upper tail fins...

Added a cyclone dust separator to my collection system. Using a 15-gallon barrel and it was working great for 30-minutes or so. Switched the system off to add a vacuum attachment to clean the floor and the barrel collapsed. Anyone know how to keep this from occurring? No obstructions in the...

Kind of along the same line if thought. I would love to buy an old fire station for a live in garage/home space. Like in "Spencer for Hire". I'll now return you to your regularly scheduled topic. Ray Sent from my LM-X220PM using The Garage Journal mobile app
