...or one like it, https://www.leviton.com/en/products/5634-gy for a wiring project at the house. Local stores (HD etc.) don't carry this in the color that is required and I'm not able to find an online source that has them in stock. If anyone can find one, just one, I'd be grateful...

I've been intending to do a complete inventory of both the mechanical as well as the wood/dirty work shop(s) for a number of years now. In one of the recent "Woodsmith" magazines I read an article on shop inventories and the author included the following link...

Took me a little bit longer but it’s 99.9% done. Do most of the work on the FFR and the Harley in here but there’s a 9x18 attached to the house for all the wood and generally messy, dusty stuff. Anyway, I know the rules, so here are a couple of interior shots. The first one is the main space...

Once I mix up some JB Weld “Original Cold-Weld” epoxy, how quickly must I use it? The package says it sets in 4 to 6 hours so if I mix and take say an hour to apply it, is it still going to be usable? Thanks Ray

Don't have a use for this anymore and can't see tossing it out. I'm just trying to get close to what I paid for it so make me an offer. I'll even bring it to you if you live in the greater San Diego area. Ray

I have about 6 bottles in the shop and they are currently stored in a drawer in one of the tool chests. They're secured so they don't have a lot of movement, but is there a better/safer way to store them? Thanks, Ray

I was doing some work with my BIL last week and needed to re-tap a hole in a metal ceiling box. He handed me his set of these: Klein Tools 32217 Drill Tap Tool Kit, Six Tap Sizes Plus Two Extra of the Smaller Taps. These things are GREAT! Ray

SOLD I was using this for a while and it doesn't fit my needs. I don't have much into it and I'd like to get a 12-pack of beer for it. Sam Adams, Heineken, ***** Modelo etc. It's missing the one drawer and there are a bunch of metal dividers in the drawers. Also have a creeper and a hand...

My sons (29 and 31) just got home after a 2-week road trip. We tried to stay off the interstates, using secondary highways through the mid-west. We were in Nebraska when we saw a small garage on the other side of the highway with "rusty gold" out front. I turned the car around and stopped...

It's been converted into a real estate office, but I think it's still pretty cool.

A few months back I was walking the dog when I found this file cabinet in a driveway with a "free" sign on it. I had my wife stay with it as I went back for the truck. Last week, a buddy was going to toss out his old gas grill and asked if I had any use for it. So, I gutted the grill down...
