    Pretty good deal.....

    You rock. Thank you! It wouldn’t pull up for me. That’ll make it a lot easier to search around for a set.

    Do you have the Lowe’s item number? It would be on the tag or your receipt.

    11th annual GJ Secret Santa!

    I am so happy to hear you enjoy it. This was my absolute favorite GJSS gift to ever receive, and I didn’t feel right holding onto it and keeping it to myself forever. Snooping your profile I knew you were meant to be it’s next steward. (Thank you again to the GJSS who originally shared it with...

    11th annual GJ Secret Santa!

    My SS recipient’s gift will be in the mail first thing tomorrow morning! Also, I received my gift today. Thank you in advance whoever you are! We don’t have a tree setup, so here’s a photo of it in front of the wood stove. Lucy (my black lab) kept wanting to investigate, so sorry for the poor...

    2018 Home Depot Clearance Thread

    4x8 gray wood look paneling... I’m not much of a paneling guy but it’ll be perfect for a camper project I’m doing.

    just bought my first "real" compressor - is it too big?

    Thinking about it more, a 15 hp motor or phase converter isn’t going to be cheap... if I were you I’d put it on craigslist for $500, and see if you get any bites. As long as you sell it for $200 plus your fuel, it’s free education. I’m a sucker for a great deal too, so I totally understand...

    You can actually get a phase converter for a decent price. That looks like a really good compressor. You may check into that before you do anything else.

    Brazing with Propane

    It depends on the size of material you’re working with... I’ve always preferred ocyacetylene for everything, including brazing. For smaller stuff you’ll probably be fine with a propane/oxygen setup, but you’ll be at the upper range of its limits in my opinion.

    Table saw suggestions

    Like others have already mentioned, there are a LOT of options, and there’s no way we can know all your needs. I ended up finding a Craftsman Professional cabinet saw that can be wired for 120 or 240 from a Sears outlet store for around $450 in Dallas. It has a granite top, and I can literally...

    DeWalt Charger & Battery Meltdown

    That’s totally fair. I think any of us could find ourselves in the same situation. Some of my favorite tools have been bought used. Glad it wasn’t worse for you man!

    DeWalt Charger & Battery Meltdown

    I noticed that too... I’ve never used off brand batteries for tools, but I’ve had better luck with them with cameras and phones than some of the OEMs. Also, it can get too cold in Northern California for this Texan! OP: this is the kit I’m talking about DEWALT DCA2203C 20-Volt MAX Battery...

    1/2 "Dr beaker bar with 3/8 adapter

    He’s absolutely correct on this. Adapters that go from one size to another are generally the weakest link. If yours survived, you’ll probably be in good shape for the range of things it sounds like you work on. What torque are the bolts you’re working on spec’d at? Are you using a torque...

    1/2 "Dr beaker bar with 3/8 adapter

    You’ll get as many opinions as there are sphincters on that. In short, use what works for you and don’t let anyone ever tool shame you. Personally I like having different sockets for different applications. Even with some nicer stuff in the toolbox I usually go to the 1/2” impact set from HF...

    DeWalt Charger & Battery Meltdown

    Wow, that could’ve been bad! The lithium batteries & adapters by DeWalt may be the way to go. The lithium chargers are a bit safer, and will give your 18v tools new life. I have over a dozen 20v DeWalt tools & batteries. Never once have I been disappointed in them, especially the batteries &...

    50% Off Entire Order at Dickies.com

    All of mine came in. The quality seems average. I’m not disappointed, especially for the price. I have a few pieces that don’t fit well so I’m going to see if I can just swap them out at one of the factory stores.

    Cleburne Airport I’ve tried Heim’s BBQ and it was good, but didn’t quite hit my taste buds right. I’ll give them another shot though, even though it’ll be hard to drive past Cane Rosso! The honey ******* pizza is quite an experience.
