The last few times I have searched for metal enclosures they are either uselessly thin or very expensive even on Ebay, new or used. Rather painful when the guts cost less than the box. Searched Ebay the other day, anything of quality was $100 or more. Anyone have a decent supply source ?

My friend has a 2" well pipe down 40' from 60 years ago. Couple weeks back the flow was down to about 4-5 gallons /minute, but he uses 100' of hose for watering, so it was just about useless. In his area the well is the only one within 1/2 a mile. First I used sulfamic acid, about 2 pounds, let...

Purchase an ozone generator off Ebay..... Turns out this produces more ozone then I figured. This could do an entire house or large garage, cost of $48.54. This has no case, to me I will use it infrequently, I do not need a case. You can receive a non lethal shoch if you touch the plates when...

Purchased 4 dozen moving blanket from the link below on Ebay for an up coming move (decent quality blankets). Using 4 of them for paint drop cloths, far heavier then "professional" painter's drop cloths, much cheaper. Paint will not bleed through these blankets...

The logistics of moving is a nightmare, no less moving/storing 20,000 lbs. of tools until I sell my present house and purchase a new home. Will be moving in the next year. Need to work on the house interior before I put it up for sale, but I need to store 150 boxes/cabinets (tools) before I...

Will be purchasing a Hypertherm Powermax 65 or 85 unit. On Ebay there are after market consumables...should I stay will the OEM parts or are the aftermarket consumables OK?

Made modification to control my QR 325. Added one dual time delay relay to lock out the power contactor should the compressor run continuously for more the a specified amount of time, so at the moment ,if it runs continuously for more then 1 1/2 hours it shuts down, and locks out until a...

I know there is a limited audience for this.... Any of you guys have a cooler with quick connects, which ones do have? Purchased a cheapy Chinese set of Ebay, no way I am going to use them; not sure what I was thinking when I hit the "buy it now button". Please only answer if you have a rig...

Live in NYC, so rarely does one get a deal on desirable tools. Have an offer on a Quincy FF325 (QR25) for $1700. From the pictures, this unit may have been operation for a very short time (few days) no scratches, the original oil filter is still on the machine. Paint looks like it was born...

Thought others might be interest in a high temp, low COF lubricant powder ; better than Teflon powder. I plan on mixing this with Mobil 1 grease and oil. Small quantities can be purchased on Ebay. One of the uses, ammo re-loaders are using it on brass/bullets...

My home was hit by Sandy, had 30" of water on the 1st floor for 24 hours, in the un-finshed basement for 3 weeks. We had no power for 18 humid days, so no ability to dry out the house what so ever. When I rebuilt the house due to a fire in 1996 I used 5/8" Sheetrock and oil base primer with a...

Been using this type sealed bearing over the last year, they are better than standard bearings. Just replaced sealed bearings on my two Baldor 500 grinders. Less vibration, motors taking a good bit longer to heat up, less running temp, motor takes a lot longer to spin down; I was most interested...

Vacuum pump stator repair advice Just purchased an Edwards e2m12 vane vacuum pump, very cheaply, knowing repairs were likely. The second HV stage should look like the above. Someone must have done some machining on it with a lathe, to remove scoring, leaving unfinished rough cut marks...

Everything I heard in the past was if a motor was submerged in salt water, it was history. Sandy visited me on the 29th, the flood water was basically pure salt water. So far I have saved 10 electric motors and counting which were submerged for longer than 3 days, a couple were in salt water...

Anyone have a reasonable source for gooseneck LED lights? I have a number of grinders without lighting, have seen a number LED units on Google, most seem like junk, or they cost >$200.

As you can see, my old garage is a bit small, but with the resources I have scraped together, I am now ready for a new one. Note I will need some extra space for the present contents.
