Trying to add covers to some aluminum seats I recently built. I'm after minimal padding, and hoping to go from a bare seat to something with a simple cushion design. Black leather would be great, but Vinyl could work. I may go with a houndstooth fabric for the center sections. I've used...

count me in! Fingers crossed

Purchased from my local paint supplier for $675.00 2 months ago. I've since learned a high volume painter buys paint at 50% my walk in off the street DIY cost, so having someone paint my new shop is a few hundred bucks more expensive than me doing it myself. Needless to say, this sprayer is...

Excess to my needs, I'm selling a previously restored Parker 3x vise. Jaws are approx 4 3/4 wide. Opens to 8 inches or so. 75+ lbs, so likely not ideal to ship. Located in the Boston, MA area. $225.00 obo

Anyone have a suggestion for metal (brass/stainless/aluminum) fittings that are compatible with rapid air 3/4 hardpipe? Piping is powder coated aluminum tube. I have not yet confirmed the OD of their three-quarter inch tubing. I’m running a compressed air drop into a space that does not...

Revised price! Anyone interested at $600 bucks? Tired of tripping on this. Vin

REVISED PRICE: $600 obo This thing rips! 2hp 20” disc sander. New SINGLE PHASE 2.0 HP motor installed. 1740RPM, 240 volts. Used exclusively in my wood shop, but works incredibly well on metal with the right sandpaper. Very hard to find with a single phase motor and also in this great of...

I'm sorry for never closing this out. It has been something of a battle with the GC, but ultimately things turned out OK. Very short version is the GC has departed (he refused to do any more work and abandoned us). I managed to bring in multiple highly qualified trades to slowly resolves...

Sold! Thanks

Price $500.00 Incredible 1/2 steel welding and fabrication table. 6'x11' in size. About 1400 lbs in steel plate top alone. Top is blanchard ground 1/2 plate on 3"X3" legs. Height off the ground is about 30 inches. Top has surface rust after transporting in the rain, but cleans up with a flap...

All, Thanks for the advice and for having a sympathetic ear through all of this. I'm fortunate to have a killer attorney involved, but at 600/hour I try to use him sparingly as there simply isn't that much to recover from my deadbeat contractor. In the end I'll be fine. I'm quite...

Thank you all. I have a wonderfully successful attorney at the ready, but at close to 600/hour in trying to spend funds that come with the best ROI. Given the likelihood of bankruptcy by my contractor I'm equally trying to spend only the minimum. While more headaches than expected I'm...

Nope, but Instagram won't do a thing and given the ethics to date in not surprised my (former) builder ignores requests. I just hope no one else gets burned as on social media he likes like a rockstar.

Thanks for the kind words. Just looking to get what we can from his insurance for damages to equipment/car and move on. Chasing this dirtbag for anything more than that is a waste of good money and effort. What kills me is he continues to use photos of my house to promote his "craftmanship"...

Some of you may recall the debacle that my underground garage build became. (builder built the walls too short) I'm now after insurance advice on the off chance anyone here is in the business. Short version is my General Contractor did a poor job on the garage that they built for me. It is a...

Guys, I've met with a very capable second surveyor along with an equally capable builder (who has no interest in fixing this mess and is booked out 2.5 years). I trust hours opinion as he has little to gain. The surveyor confirmed original topos were accurate enough given the site has changed...

Just back from dinner with a premier attorney who does nothing but construction litigation. A buddy made the intro on my behalf. He had some great advice and offered to introduce me to his go to surveyor and engineering experts here in Massachusetts. His opinion is this should not go to...

Guys, Sorry for disappearing. The day job got in the way as I need to pay the bills. Toss in some snow and it has been a busy morning. To answer a couple of questions: Here is a picture during construction. The formed garage sits in what was a bedrock hillside. As of today, I don't know...
