    US General 72” hutch modification

    This is a long overdue project. Ever since I bought my 72” US General hutch, I’ve been banging my head on the lid when it’s open. They had it designed, so the lid stuck out 4 1/4” past the edge of the hutch. You reach in to get something and smoke your head. Originally, I put 4 inch risers...

    Fast Setting Wood Glue for Models, Recommendations Please

    Not at all. It’s a clear solvent that evaporates quickly. You spray the lightest mist you can and assemble fast. That stuff is crazy strong and crazy fast. If you want both it’s the only way to go. Hot glue is a joke compared to this stuff.

    Fast Setting Wood Glue for Models, Recommendations Please

    Tite bond CA glue with accelerator. I use the thick. Spray accelerator on one side and put glue on the other. 4 seconds of alignment time and it’s all over in 30 seconds and VERY strong.

    Lift Pad Locations?

    Agree with the above post 100%. You always need more room than you think you do. I planned my lift location and AFTER I had the pads poured, I decided to shift things a little to gain more room. Best decision ever. I was worried the columns would make storage of other vehicles too tight. That...

    Heat source for garage in our new house?

    I inspect the heat exchangers on all my furnaces at work and at home yearly. I also clean the flame proving electrode every fall at the start of the heating season.

    No reason to add vapor barrier if you’re not heating it.

    Drilling and mounting to Concrete ?

    Tapcons minimum embedment is 1”. The maximum is 1 3/4”. Why do you need to drill so deep for hanging saw blades? If I ever need to drill deeper than 1” due to available screw lengths, I will only use the 1/4” size tapcons. Otherwise, the 3/16” screws will just snap off like you discovered.

    Getting tired of Hansen socket organizers. Westling looks tempting. Any Westling users here?

    My experience with Westling: I bought a few trays many years ago and loved them. Years later, I bought LOTS. When they arrived, they were different shades of blue and red. I too wasn’t thrilled, so I contacted them and was told they switched anodizing companies and they will never match the old...

    Heat source for garage in our new house?

    Heater was free. Got four of them from our warehouse at work when we upsized. Not having to wait long for a warm garage is awesome. 👏

    Heat source for garage in our new house?

    I’ve got a 1000 square foot garage with 12 foot ceiling, fully insulated. I live in Wisconsin and it gets cold. I’m rocking a forced air 125,000 BTU hanging furnace and love it. I keep the garage at 40 degrees during the winter but when I want to work in there, I set it for 72 and it gets there...

    Chinese Two Post Lifts, possible purchase

    Pretty sure the switch contacts need to be rated for at least 30 amps. I wired in a remote start/stop station on my lift and the 18 amp switch I used welded itself closed. I pulled the factory switch out to examine and saw it was rated at 30 amps.

    What are these springs for?

    I work in a plastic injection molding shop and see them daily. They are used between mold plates where a stripper is needed or behind the ejector plate.

    It’s crazy how things are different in different areas. In my neck of the woods, even Razors can’t go on the highway. Plus, they are limited to 45 mph.
