Free to anyone in the Richmond Va area. I've had it looked over by a local tool repair shop years ago. I believe they didn't have parts. I can't remember the issue. Sorry not shipping. It goes out in this week's trash. Decluttering. email if interested. I rarely check here for messages.

Recently bought a 12" DWS 780 compound miter. Happy with the tool. Tried to register per direction. "Tool not found" when entering model. Wrote Dewalt. After an email or two was told the software doesn't always recognize the model and to use the date code. No good. Wrote back saying...

I've done a few search here without seeing this discussed recently. Or at all. Is the addition of the laser or other optical guide useful or more a gimmick? My 12" years old Dewalt DW705 non sliding is still doing well. Just bought a new blade. Was looking at sliding compound saws with...

At times I need to move a vehicle or small utility trailer empty and full about the grassy yard. Lawn tractors are apparently undersized and I've no need for a compact tractor. I've seen tools about the size of a walk behind mower that use car batteries that can move large camper trailers...

Many know the by products of burning kerosene and propane are water vapor and CO2. We are warned to never operate a heater inside and they come with explicit ventilation requirements. I like numbers and wanted to know the real effects of, in my case a kerosene heater on a room. In this case...

I've got to do some siding work on the side of the shed where I tied the lean to rafters into the top plate. I've been considering adding blocking at the mid point of the lean to's 11' rafters which are 2x6 pressure treated boards It wasn't required by code. My concern was limited...

The Black Widow ramps by design have raised almost smooth bars along the length of the ramps. Since these are their motorcycle ramps I hesitantly went along with the tech's advice and have regretted it since. Street tires will slip on the bars. The knobby tires on the dirt bike do much...

I have a small suburban yard but I'm the guy that built the shed neighbors call The Neighborhood club house, a large patio with 8" - 10" compacted gravel base etc. Just added a lean to to County spec which I posted here regarding roofing. Seems each time I think I'm done I'm again moving...

I saw one post that sort of answers this but I'll ask specifically for my situation. The 5/12 lean to roof rafters set on the wall for the shed which has a 12/12 pitch. Unfortunately I trimmed too much of the shed sheathing creating a large gap. I cut and added sheathing to close the hole...

I'm doing the roofing on a lean to. Forecast said 1% rain. I was that 1%. I had five courses done and woke up to rain. The integrity concern is not the same as that over a house but I still don't want issues down the road like shingles not adhering, blowing off, mold etc. It's now going to...

After a week of moving 1200lbs of bags of concrete and lifting sheets of 3/4" x 4 x 8 wet pressure treated plywood in/out of the bed up to a roof I decided to move a power drain auger from truck to bathroom. My back said that's enough for now. I'm trying to figure out a means of electrically...

I ran through all 18 threads under circular saw and didn't see such a post. Recently bought a Milwaukee 7 1/4 M18 Fuel. Standard design. Unused as I haven't gotten to that point in the project it was purchased for. I made the thread about being Unsupervised in a Home Depot and got good...

I'll be in the air cutting rafters and sheathing on a 12/12 roof and trimming posts. I'm done dragging a cord with me. Lily is giving it the sniff of approval.

I did a search but may have missed this question. In my one car garage finding room is an eternal challenge. I have an overhead 4' x 8' rack with 600 lb capacity. I've looked at the motorized lifts but have never seen, used or know of anyone with it. The prices seem to start around $180...

I've gone several pages deep but can't find the answer I'm looking for. I use the garage as a workshop. A car might be worked on but I mainly do my wrenching in the openness of the driveway. It's simply to cramped inside. Here's the qualities I'm looking for. EASY CLEANUP: The tile can't...

Would like a lift and a scissor is my only option for my one car garage. Mobility won't help as there will be nowhere to move it. Any lift will be a trip hazard and pain to maneuver around. Not breaking up the concrete. We have false floors at my old workplace that carry cables, communications...

Three motorcycles - dirt, street and touring. Three cars. Minor maintenance only on two cars - brakes etc. Interior restoration and minor/major mechanical on third. But that car can't remain in garage. Two post lifts have attachments for motorcycles. I don't believe such exists for...

Retired. 31 years Commercial Nuclear Power Operations. 8 Naval Nuclear. I enjoy working with my hands and figuring things out. I like hearing about other's projects. As a home owner I've installed and finished drywall, run wiring, replaced the gas water heater per code, added a sub...
