2000PRE, thanks for your real life experience. RJRKCJ that bit about 90 degree adding 6', good point. I was wondering why inhome vacs can go through the wall pipe etc and found via google that they have 5x the power of a normal vac :( My fear going that route is after the purchase of a good...

You may be correct, I can't find an online calulator for this, seems more complicated than a few simple variables. I'd just like to get that noisey thing out of my shop.

I need to run some PVC pipe to allow for my shop vac to be in another room while I have two feeds going to my work bench. My main question is what size of tubing is best suited for a typical Sears type 2HP 20Gal 120v shop vac. The run I have to make from the vac is: Up 8' Across 20' Across...

OK it is sounding risky regardless of complexity. :bitchslap I'll look into Bill K's suggestions of the low wattage lights. I wouldn't expect the next home owner to anticipate power down that pipe, or have someone dig it up. So much for finding a lazy mans solution. :headshake Thanks...

OK this is probably going to give a few of you a chuckle if it's a stupid as it sounds :dunno: But if it can be done it'll save me a lot of work. I need to bring power to the end of my driveway to light up some decorative “where the heck the driveway start??" type light along the dark road...

Oh another question. Do those cabinets leak dust in a manner that I wouldn't want my air compressor within a certain distance of the cabinet? ;)

Thank you for your efforts in sharing that with us. That is my next big project and I have been ruminating on this for some time now; much has been gleaned from your post :thumbup: One thought is you have all the water draining back into your tank. You are comfortable not using some form of...

I have various mining skidmarks in sets of 4. I was trying to yank a Sumac Tree with a tug strap and my buddy's 89 Ford 1ton 460 4x4. I gave up after 4 tries as it would just yank the truck and stop it dead with 4 wheels turning. Damm tree, took a chain saw to it and now have little Sumac...

Cool, thanks for the info. ;)

Cool, thanks for the tips. This is my first good compressor and I have nearly zip for knowledge on it yet. I ask these questions not to challenge anyones answers more to better understand. ;) kartracer55 That's what I am using but just wondering about temperature range. The pumps...

Just wondering. I have a 20 Gal 5HP twin cylinder air compressor that takes the usual air compressor oil in the pump. My question is do I change the oil or oil viscosity since my compressor is in my shed and it'll get to -20 this winter? Also much oil do I put in the pump, half way up the...

Great posts :bounce: I have enough info to make my purchase. Great reading, especially that site Craig Balzer linked to :beer:

:thumbup: That's what I'm wanting to read..... keep it coming. Since I haven't used this, or any before, any tips or caveats?? I hear not to set it up near my compressor so as not to allow any escaped dust from getting sucked into the filters on the compressor. Although the tricks of the...

Hello, could I get a quick refresher on what sort of grit I want to my new sandblasting cabinet? First one I have and don't know the differences between the various sorts of grit. I mainly wish to clean up auto parts and corroded\rusty steal. Mine looks like this one. If you need the type of...

Here's Mine :canada:

:lol: Oh thanks, first chuckle I've had today. I had to sister 10 joists due to dry rot, Tripled one where a car's engine would be below :thumbup: I rented a 3" nailer and WOW that'll take 6 hours off my job and 6 years off my arm. I'm laying down my plywood this afternoon and hoping to roll...

Hello, new to this board, love what I read and have learned lots so far. Here's my project at this time. My shop roof leaks, I could wait till spring but it leaks only in areas I work in; also I seem inable to successfully tarp it :headscrat I have to replace 6 sheets of plywood and have...
