Thanks, this is what I thought. To be honest, I'd rather have a simple, easy to use, accurate tool than a multimeter anyways. I don't test batteries/ alternators often enough that i'd remember how to do it, and i'd rather just spend $50 to make it a simple process.

Are their any affordable / reliable tools that will allow you to test a battery to see if it is good, as well as check the output of the alternator to see if it is preforming as expected? looking at maybe this one, but not sure they test alternators...

Not sure either, but it's also fairly trivial to add a junkyard alternator, which then also allows you to add lights, heated grips, coffee maker, ect, ect.

I've been thinking about using a window wiper motor, or a window lift motor to power mine.

If you're doing cathedral ceilings, then you won't have a vented ceilings, so baffles definitely aren't needed. baffles are basically used to make blow in insulation easier. You don't need them, but it makes it easier to maintain the air channels from the soffits to the roof. Without them, you...

If anyone can pick up an extra for 10 or 15, and would be willing to ship I'd love one. thanks.

New, never used. I assembled it, and it's just been sitting in the corner collection dust. Few scratches on the lid: http://www.harborfreight.com/five-drawer-service-cart-95272.html

New never used Isoboard Foam insulation. These are 4x8 sheets Great for insulating walls/ ceilings/ garages/ sheds, This is a densely compressed foam (polyisocyanurate) with fiberglass facers and should have an R value of at least 6.5 per inch which is higher than blueboard or pinkboard.

They just don't have their act together. I ordered a bunch of Milton V air fittings from them. (40 or so). Although the website said they were in stock, half were not. then I received incorrect fittings. I contacted them and they said they would ship the correct fittings when they were in...

locate a local company that supplies office equipment. They will often have used metal cabinets that are plenty strong for garage use. I've picked up a couple on craigslist for $20-$30, but if you don't want to wait for a deal that's your next best bet for quality cabinets at a decent price.

Also, search on craigslist, or post there in the services section. I know i've seen people offering mobile welding.

Might try posting on http://www.indycarz.com . I've got mig, but no tig. Short of someone doing this as a favor it's probably going to cost you a good bit to have someone come to your site, especially for no more welding than it seems you need.

Head to a junkyard. I think those control units are the same as an XJ. If that's the case you shouldn't have trouble finding one. However, any you find will also most likely be melted. when the resistor goes out the whole wiring circuit overheats and takes that plug with it. I went through the...

Not sure your price range, but you may be close enough for this one if you don't want to build one: http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/pts/3530132521.html They pop up on indy craiglist quite a bit.

I've used rust bullet with good results on automotive parts, and cast iron outdoor furniture. Both have been applied for more than 4 years and neither is rusted yet. Jeep floor pans (in and out), rockers, ect. The only problem i've had is that their black topcoat is supossed to be UV resistant...

Good deals in here: http://www.searsoutlet.com/Tools-and-Tool-Storage/d/category.jsp?md=ct_md&cid=84&SetOmVert=true&lid=ol_tools_co&rioptype=LY&sid=IAx20110411x000007&eml=173956438&ruid=2001405&dnr=true&source=commisionj&aff=y

Yes, they use a fiberglass mesh for a lot of tops. I couldn't find it locally, so i used rebar which was probably totally overkill Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Here's a top that I poured. It's about 4x7 and 2 inches think. I poured in place using melamine. Welded together a rebar frame for it. I think it took around 8 bags of the redimix concrete mix. So, it weighs about 500lbs. I then stained it, and sealed it. This was an experiment to get a feel...

Like most things, I guess it just takes practice.

I've welded together a couple of tables, and the legs end up being skewed - What's the secret? I'm using the magnet 90 degree angle brackets, but they are the smaller one's Maybe larger one's would help? Any other tips/ tricks/ videos for keeping things straight/ level - I'm new to this whole...
