Well I know what im doing Sunday now :)

I do agree with that. Not sure what kind of clear coat will work well on bare metal without a primer. I'd rather not paint it. Really like the bare metal look. Most of the clear coats don't recommend being applied to bare metal though.

Thanks :) I am already starting to notice some rust forming on it. I am debating on either letting it get a natural rust patina or putting a clear coat on it to protect it. Decisions decisions.

It has been a while since I have posted anything here. I have been really busy with other things in my life and my garage projects have not been at the top of my to do list. I have way too many hobbies. At any rate I had a problem that needed to be solved. I needed a paper towel holder for the...

OK, reading the thread here and more research made me decide a few things. Going to go with the double barrel stove. I haven't decided yet on using 55 gal drums or 30. My garage is roughly 24x32. Either size I go with I'm going to turn the top barrel into a blow through heat exchanger using...

And my spelling is terrible. Please read "barell" as "barrel" in my previous post. Lol

I am sure this question has been asked here before and I hate to be that guy that fails to use search before asking a question but I ran into a couple snags trying to use search from my phone on both the website forum and from tapatalk. So, please accept my apologies and go easy on me to that...

I would put an outlet in the cupboard under the sink. Then run S. O. cord with a plug.

My vote is on M18 Fuel tools. Can't really go wrong with any from that line.

If it is still available on Sunday I might make the drive from metro Detroit.

Most commonly used for me are 5 7 8 10 13 15 18

This made me laugh hard. I have been thinking of modifying the center joists in my garage to accommodate a cable lift of sorts for storing my simplicity tractor. It wouldn't be too difficult to do. Would just weld up a metal frame to drive up onto then winch it up so that the tractor is in the...

I am on the same page as the guys that say you don't need all those "luxury items" so to speak. Yeah they are nice but you don't really NEED them to be able to do most of what people do in their garage. My tools can be summed up in a relatively short list: Home depot special socket set w/ box...

Hopefully I'll have it up and running in the next couple weeks. Gonna take a couple P.A. Days and get it going. With tax it was just about 500. I think the sticker was 479.99. Not the best deal on it, but it's on par with the usual pricing. I feel Ok with it, I know I'm going to get a ton of...

Tha KS for the input guys.. This is an oiled compressor, I wouldn't consider buying an oiless. I'll Def build the room big enough to handle a larger compressor later. I'll just use the extra space in there for a little storage.. Maybe I'll build some kind of shelving. I didnt plan on buying...

Lol.. Yeah.. I do need it, but when I handled the ones at hf my buddy and I decided we could make one for about the same price or less and have fun making it.

Now that I have this I gotta get the rest of the stuff needed to make it useful. I plan on plumbing it in using copper. Going to feed 1 hose reel in the center of the attic, one sand blast cabinet (I know the compressor isn't ideal for it but I'll manage), 2 quick connects for attaching other...

Haha.. No fear of the woman. I'm a young single dude and loving it. I got 99 problems but.....

First my buddy and I went to harbor freight to get an engine stand.. I decided not to buy it and went to tractor supply to buy solvent for my parts washer instead. Somehow this 60 gallon compressor ended up in the van by the time we left. I have a problem.

Oh, I also scored a 2 ton engine hoist and a couple of Jack stands out of my dad's garage for free. Good day for sure.
