I bought a Kent KT-707 microstat vacuum locally from an online auction. This thing is a BEAST, but I can't seem to find any parts for the thing. I wanted to buy a filter bag for it. I found the instructions and parts list online, and it lists part # 661766 for a pack of 10 bags. Is anyone...

Does anyone know anything about these? I got a couple pf these at an auction a while back. One seems to work and the other one doesn’t. I wondered if anyone knew of a good parts source for them. I planned to keep one and fix up the other one and give it to my dad for Christmas.

I believe that this K-D model 700 valve spring compressor and the Sunnen tool (valve keeper tool?) are for old flathead engines. Anyone know?

I have a 5 hp 230V single phase compressor (80 Gal, 2 stage) in my new shop and I have rigid metal conduit running to it. I know that #6 is overkill for this thing, but I happen to have quite a bit of #6 stranded wire. Will it hurt to run that size of wire to my compressor, or should I buy...

I was wondering how to add the arrow to go to the first new post on my shop build thread.

I decided to add a loft in the now-under-construction pirate cove. The problem is that I have no idea how I need to arrange stairs for this thing.:headscrat Please see pictures on my build thread link below. I don't want to bump out into the garage stall, and there's going to be a bathroom in...

I have several 3 bulb 4' T-8 light fixtures that were removed from a commercial building. These are the typical dropped ceiling fixtures. I'm in the process of building a 32x40x14 shop and I wondered whether these will be sufficient for the high ceiling. It will be a 3-12 pitch clear span...

I just pulled the trigger on my shop today and I'm pretty stoked, but a bit overwhelmed at the same time. I had an insulated 5" slab / footing poured over a year ago in anticipation of building a stick build shop. Since then, I decided to opt for a steel framed 32 x 40 x 14. It will also have...

I scored a free breaker box yesterday, along with a bunch of single pole breakers: Square D NQOD442l225. It is a 3 phase box with way more space than I would need in my future 32 X 40 shop, but it was the right price. There is a main breaker on a box below the meter on the power pole that...

The state highway that we live on is undergoing a widening project, so a few homes and buildings have to be razed for the road right of way. I was able to acquire a 24 x 30 2 car garage and we are having it moved to our house, which is 6 miles from the original location of the garage. We...

I've had this pair of old identical anvils sitting around for several years. I can"t see any identification or stampings on these. Does anyone out there know what these were used for?

I'm brand new to this board and this is my first post. We're in the planning stage for a 40x60 garage / shop. I'm no construction guru but here's what we are needing: Insulated 40x60 with heated floor and 12' walls bathroom w / attic room / loft above (man cave) 2 parking spaces for daily...
