    Hose reel seems like a good deal at $53. Is the 20ton press cheap at $159? I feel like that is usually the sale price Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Can you tell me anything about this air compressor brand?

    Sanborn is still making air compressors and parts availability is still there, I had to replace a head on a black max with a Sanborn pump (a little newer than yours) not to long ago and had no problems finding parts for it. Depending on your geographic area, the price seems a little steep. Here...

    cut off wheel

    I haven’t had much experience with the industrial brands but among all the wheels I’ve tried, I found dewalt offset cut offs to last the longest and I’ve been happy enough with them to not look elsewhere, they run about a buck and half a piece if you are buying them in 5 packs from Lowe’s.

    Modest 25x35 Fabrication Shop Build

    Thanks Matt, It’s an 86 so technically it’s still a k30, I swapped a 12v Cummins in with a 5 speed trans about a year ago to compete with the newer trucks.

    Place to build a Samurai

    You are definitely off to a great start! Unfortunately there is a lot of overlapping tin on these that water likes to hide behind and rot out. I built mine with a similar concept in mind but kept it in a much more stock configuration. Last week I got a little stuck Sent from my iPhone using...

    EXCELL XR2600 Pressure washer replacment pump options/Help. Thanks

    Looks like you can get a direct replacement for $140. I’m not 100 percent due to it being quite a while ago but I’m pretty sure I’ve ordered from this website before for the very same issue on a Karcher pressure washer, two years later and it’s still going strong...

    Water Softener Woes, need a plumbers advise

    I played with it and it seems it might be the exchange resin your speaking of, what would be the next step to address that? Mick: I will get a water test when I get a chance and see, thanks for the advice! Mike: I have not tried iron out nor have I even heard of it but that is something I will...

    Water Softener Woes, need a plumbers advise

    Hey guys, I’m going through some water softener issues and I was hoping to get some advise from someone more experienced in the subject. I bought my house a year ago and the 20 year old softener (original to the house) was clearly having issues or not being run as there was rust stains all...

    14' RV garage door

    I took a chance on doorson-line.com, what I liked about the website is they have all the pricing laid out in front of you as you add more options to the door. They offer just about any size and custom build your door if it’s not a common size. The few reviews I could find seemed good enough to...

    Anyone interested in a 1950s School bus?

    Hey guys, a friend of mine has a really cool school bus from the 1950’s(?) he’s been using for storage until now. He does not wish to scrap it and would really love to give it away and see it go to someone that would want to fix it up, I’m not entirely sure of the specifics but if someone is...

    Modest 25x35 Fabrication Shop Build

    Haven’t made anymore progress on the shop but I did find a deal on a new piece of equipment that was too good to pass up. I found a very cheap non running Skat Trak 1700C in Delaware. It was bought by a machine dealer in a bulk buy and it was not worth his time to diagnose which is the reason...
