    Hanging Pre-Hung Interior Door-Gap that won't allow it to close properly

    I purchased a pre-hung door that is square and there are no issues with it. Where I'm hanging the door is the right size and the left and right side only differ by 1/8" or so in difference. When I put the door inside the gap and got everything plumb and mounted, the door handle latch does not go...

    Black and Blue Craftsman Motor-Show and Tell!

    I picked up a nice little motor tonight. It's a ln older Craftsman that Originally was on an 8" table saw. What are the date ranges for these two motors? It runs nicely and has a great look of having been cared for but used. I'm not going to do anything to it besides clean it up and put it on...

    Small LED Projects and Creations

    Recently, I've been intrigued by a lot of videos I've seen on YouTube relating to LED "crafts" and projects. I've seen as simple as "how to" begin using LEDs and their controllers all the way to creating furniture and lighting fixtures/features using LED strips and filaments. Does anyone have...

    Nice 14" Delta Rockwell Bandsaw if you're in Pennsylvania

    I'm not affiliated to this saw at all, but saw it on eBay this morning. $200 is quite the steal if you're nearby. Figured a fellow addict...err...enthusiast might like it. 14" Delta Rockwell Bandsaw

    Rockwell/Delta 10" Tablesaw Compatibility-Are these fences interchangeable?

    I'm trying to help my Dad find a new stock fence for his Rockwell/Delta tablesaw 34-338 and came across a Rockwell/Delta 34-410. What I'm hoping to find out is whether the fences for these saws are interchangeable or if there is a compatibility issue. Any ideas? Thank you!

    Pulling Mobile Home Feeder and Conduit Orientation

I have Mobile Home Feeder and want to know if I have to pull all four cables at once or if I can pull them individually since they're essentially "giant THHN". Also, which direction do I pull them? Do I pull TOWARD the main breaker...

    Equipment/Tool/Machine Restorations with Non-Traditional Paint Jobs/Color Schemes-PLEASE POST YOUR PICS

    For something a little different, I would like to see some of the paint jobs and color schemes that WERE NOT the original. Some of the colors used back in the day were very...drab to say the least. I'm thinking of restoring some machinery and would like to do something other than the usual...

    Barn Door Design Suggestions-Replace Sliding Doors with something better-Need Inspiration/Ideas!

    I have a set of sliding barn doors on the traditional metal track/channel. They are less than great most of the year as they allow snow in the winter to blow in, rain to run underneath, and are difficult to open when you have gloves on. I'm wondering/hoping someone has a better design they can...

    Looking for Tier 1 Drill Bit Suggestions

    I would like to "buy once and cry once" when it comes to my next drill bit purchases. I would like a set that will last me a long time for woodworking and another set for drilling metal. I do car projects and sometimes you have to drill bolts. What brands would I be looking at? I'd prefer...

    Opinions on Hart vs. Ridgid vs. Husky Tool and Small Parts Organizers?

    I have lots of storage for tools (electric and hand tools), but what I'd like to have is a more organized small parts set. I am not a contractor, I'm not a professional, the box doesn't have to survive a fall from a truck at 70MPH, I'm just a DIYer with a 40hr work week who would like to have a...

    Removing Rafter/Truss Pieces in Garage-How to so I don't die?

    I saw a pretty neat idea on this video here: What she did was remove some of the cross pieces from the rafters in her garage to open it up but then married up cross pieces to the ones she left for support. Can someone explain how this works and how I could possibly do it in my garage? Is...

    What happened to the Home Depot and Lowe's Clearance Thread

    I'm trying to find the threads that give breakdowns of the clearance pricing with Lowe's and Home Depot but couldn't find them. Did they get deleted or am I just looking in the wrong section? I'm looking for the breakdown that shows how the pricing works. Thank you! :bowdown:

    Looking at rewiring my entire garage

    I'm getting ready to pull all the wiring from my garage to redo it. The previous owner did a terrible job and there is wiring running between rafters and not along any boards. Some haphazard wiring throughout the entire garage. The genius who wired it put only two outlets on the walls of about...

    Leveling a Garage Floor...?

    I have a garage floor that is not level (concrete settled years ago and has a noticeable angle at the back 1/3 of the floor. It is a standard depth garage...meaning it is a little over one car length in depth. It is about a 2.5 car garage, so the piece of cement is sizable. My question is, is it...

    Faux Rock Panels for Fireplace

    I have a very dated looking fireplace (think 1970s tan and dark brown bricks). I've seen these faux rock panels advertised on YouTube and was intrigued by the relative ease (maybe not as easy but I don't know yet) at which they can be installed. I don't really like the bricks and would prefer a...

    What did I find here? Crafstman cabinet saw?
