    Question about running air lines

    Technically yes. Would you notice the difference? Probably not. But I just went to a hydraulic hose place and had em make me a custom 3\4 hose. You can also find them I believe at tractor supply type places.

    Additional switched outlets in the ceiling allow you to flip on any kind of lighting you can think of plugging in. Also helpful are switched outlets high on the wall for your wall art, neon signs, stereos etc I would recommend 20a receptacles also. Many modern saws and compressors etc pull a...

    nail gun for framing sheathing ect

It worked great in the cold, I used it and abused it then returned it. I also have used the Porter Cable in the cold and it worked...

    nail gun for framing sheathing ect

    Yep a standard framing nailer will shoot up to 3 1/2" nails for standard framing. Or the typical 2 3/8" for sheathing. Porter Cable makes a great model that shoots and toenails excellent and is usually priced at $150.

    My 25x32 is using a simple 10k window unit built into the wall. It has no problems maintaining a comfortable temperature. My shop stays closed up basically all the time and rarely even needs the A/C on.

    Epoxy in home - a few issues...

    Mine took much longer to cure than the suggested times. I was really worried at first but it did harden good after about a week. Much of the scratches you likely see are really in the glossy finish. Anything glossy will show scratches. That's about all I can add for now

    Anyone use a Dymo labeler?

    For wire labels, I just bought one of these and it seems to work pretty good, the writing area is a bit small but they work. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BSLQD6/?tag=atomicindus08-20 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003I7QKUQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 There is also this one from 3M but it's much more...

    120 vs 240

    I switched mine over and it runs noticeably better. Doesn't bog down as easy and spins up from a stop faster. I like it better.

    Want to insulate and finish concrete garage walls - what would be the best here?

    All I'm gonna add is, if you attach studs to the concrete, it has to be treated and the fasteners have to be for treated lumber, as in no regular drywall screws etc. For the styrofoam, the foil lined stuff in 3/4 is like an R7 or so, could be doubled up for a decent R value. Using spray foam...

    Shop Compressor Line Layout

    Try to find hoses with 3/8" NPT, it will help in the long run with your flow. Many of the good hose reels come with 3/8" hose and 3/8" NPT. I would recommend the Milton Type V High Flow couplers. They are all the same size where the couplers actually connect, but are available in 1/4" and 3/8"...

    Can anyone help me find this weather seal?

    Most doors have a mounting track that is fastened to the bottom of the door. Generally speaking you have to change that whole mounting track to change the rubber style. Find the door brand then find who in your area sells it, they should be able to order a replacement.
