So my Quincy 310 ROC 22 built in 64 blew the crancase gasket at the cylinders and oil went all over. Instead of just ordering gasket I ordered a full tune up kit, and after taking it apart, I also ordered two suction valves. I have $300 in this now. I just mounted it and it ran for a minute...

So I picked this up today for $250 off craigslist. I did not argue with the person at all. I drove about an hour and a half each way to get it. I got a 130 cu ft Acetylene Cylinder, and a 122 cu ft Oxy Cylinder. I got 45 ft of hose, a Victor 19 torch with a few tips, I only recognise the...

I have to replace the steering knuckle on my Jeep. I have a high steer bracket (For lack of a better word) I put on a couple of years ago, but I used someone else's tap set to tap for the bolts. That person has all higher end stuff, but I dont want to bother him for them again. Its two 9/16"...

How much do I need to worry about my new Miller 211 getting dirty? Its not filthy, but my garage is a workshop, and all the metal grinding and cutting I have been doing lately has gotten metal dust everywhere. I use it constantly and do not have a cover because I am thinking it would mainly be a...

I am buying a Miller 211. I have welded with my father in laws 210 quite a few times, but am not a welder. I am going to start out with some 1/8" to 1/4" thick steel to make a new bumper with tire carrier for my Jeep. I was kinda curious what diameter wire I should start with. Also, I know I...

I have a broken Plasma cutter, and I only know the basics about how these things work. It is my father in laws. I am a field tech for technology so everyone gives me their broken stuff to fix. I weld a bit, but I have never repaired one of these. Apparently it does not turn on. I have a...

So it looks like I got screwed on Craigslist. I have been dealing on there for years, and just now seem to have gotten my first bad deal, but I think with some help I can fix it. I bought a 170T All Pro Torpedo heater for $200. I started it up before buying it and it ran fine. So I got it home...

I have a 700sqft garage with 15ft ceilings. It is concrete block construction. I live in Philadelphia and am looking for a heater. I have no idea though how many BTU's I will need. I see things that are like 55,000 BTU's, or 80,000 BTU heaters. I just want it around 55 degrees in the dead of...

I have a large detached garage I recently bought. A lot of the insulation was 30+ years old, black, and falling from the ceiling, so I ripped most of it out a month or two ago. I plan on insulating it again, but wasn't really in a rush to since my money has mostly been going into the house. Now...

So I built a work bench on Saturday out of some wood I was able to reclaim from an old deck I tore down. The only wood I had to buy was 2 2X10X12 for each side since I didn't want to piece the sides together. It is as strong as I would like, but I am not sure what type of surface I should finish...

I know this is an off the wall subject, but I am sure I am not the only one with a pool table in my garage. I just redid the felt on my table (flipped the old felt). I found two small rips, or cuts in it. I have no idea how to smooth them out and stop them from ripping anymore. Anyone know what...

OK. So after doing some homework I realize I need to dry and lubricate my air system. Here is what I have and what I need. Hopefully someone can tell me what to buy. Link would help too of course. So I have a 2 stage compressor with an 80 gallon tank, 3/4 pipe, 4 air hookups and a air powered...

So I recently took ownership of a garage that had been unused for 10+ Years. Everything is coming along great, but I did find some serious black grime in my pipes running along my wall last night. What make this complicated is that I have an air powered hydraulic lift. So the line runs from my...

So here is the deal. I just got a new garage and need a welder. I am thinking a MIG or TIG, but know they are expensive. Need to be able to weld up to 3/8 steel. The reason I say MIG or TIG is that I would like the option to be able to weld aluminum in case myself or a friend crack a transfer...

So I have a nice garage setup. I offroad and built my Jeep and help my friends a lot. I am trying to figure out what would happen if I started doing lifts and suspension modifications for people. Pretty much just some word of mouth business to get some extra cash. I am not a mechanic, I am just...

So I have a bathroom in my garage. Unfortunately the water lines froze and broke before I bought the house and garage. They are buried and I would rather not dig them up since they are under concrete. There are also two lines that go to heaters, one for feed and one for return off of the...

Any info you guys could give me about this thing would be awesome. This came with a garage I just bought. I know the basics about it like it is a 2 stage. I requested the manuals and things from Quincy, but haven't heard back yet. I just saw a You Tube video with a guy running one of these he...

Hello everyone. First post, but I figured I should join this forum to learn more about garages. I just bought a garage. It came with a full air setup and vehicle lift. I noticed the compressor is set to about 150psi. I know tools like my Craftsman impact gun has a recommended psi of about 90. I...
